Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in confirming the completion status of electronic data used by board working machines, leading to potential incorrect operation when mandatory items are not input, which is troublesome and can result in errors.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating status information processing within the data processing device to indicate whether electronic data is completed, awaiting testing, tested, or authorized, allowing users to easily verify the status and prevent incomplete data from being used incorrectly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users manually check each data item to confirm completion status, then data accuracy can be ensured, but the operation becomes troublesome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completion accuracyVSAvoiddata checking operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates and displays completion status information for each data item and overall data set, providing immediate feedback to users without requiring manual verification. This feedback mechanism resolves the contradiction by maintaining reliability through automatic status tracking while eliminating the troublesome manual checking operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-verification by automatically monitoring and reporting the completion status of mandatory and optional data items. This self-service approach ensures data accuracy without requiring user intervention to check each item, thereby maintaining reliability while improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If users input data values to all mandatory items without verification, then operation speed increases, but incorrect operation may occur when data is incomplete

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata input speedVSAvoiddata completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification by automatically generating completion status information before the user submits or uses the data. This preliminary action allows users to quickly input data at high speed while the system simultaneously monitors completeness, preventing incorrect operation without slowing down the input process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides immediate feedback on data completion status, allowing users to continue inputting data at high speed while being informed of the completeness state. This feedback enables users to maintain productivity while ensuring reliability through real-time status awareness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If the system tracks completion status of all data items, then data quality can be ensured, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata qualityVSAvoiddata processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential completion status information from the full data set, focusing on tracking whether mandatory and optional items are completed rather than managing all data details. This extraction approach ensures data quality through status monitoring while avoiding the complexity of managing the entire data structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different tracking levels to different data items, with mandatory items requiring completion tracking and optional items having flexible tracking. This local quality approach ensures data quality for critical items while reducing system complexity by not uniformly tracking all data items with the same level of detail.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
