Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If third party applications are assigned delegated functionalities, then application versatility is improved, but control and security management deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveapplication versatilityVSAvoidcontrol and security management

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a management service as an intermediary layer between the delegated functionality and third-party applications. This management service maintains control by mediating all interactions, allowing versatile application access while preserving security management capabilities through the intermediary control mechanism.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the management service continuously monitors application behavior and delegated functionality usage. This feedback loop enables the system to detect anomalies, track application success and failure, and maintain security control while allowing application versatility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If functionalities are updated, then system adaptability is improved, but device complexity and update requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem adaptabilityVSAvoidupdate requirements

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the functionality into modular components that can be independently updated. Instead of requiring complete application updates, the system allows granular updates of specific functionality modules, reducing device complexity and update overhead while maintaining system adaptability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal management service that handles multiple functionalities and applications through a common interface and control mechanism. This universal approach allows the system to adapt to different applications and functionalities without requiring separate update processes for each, thereby reducing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If complete application updates are performed, then functionality reliability is improved, but power consumption and network bandwidth usage increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefunctionality reliabilityVSAvoidpower consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by updating only the specific functionality components that need modification rather than performing complete application updates. This approach maintains functionality reliability for the updated portions while significantly reducing power consumption and network bandwidth usage compared to full application updates.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

4Reliability

If complete application updates are performed, then functionality reliability is improved, but network bandwidth usage increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefunctionality reliabilityVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth usage

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial updates by transmitting only the specific functionality components that require updates over the network, rather than complete application updates. This maintains functionality reliability for the updated portions while reducing network bandwidth consumption and associated energy loss.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Disclosed are various approaches for management and monitoring of delegated scope on devices. In some examples, A management agent on a client device receives a scope delegation profile that specifies a scope to delegate from the management agent to a particular application. A scope delegation software development kit (SDK) consumed by the management agent invokes a function of an operating system (OS)-based policy manager to delegate the scope to the particular application. The management agent receives delegated scope data specifying that the particular application utilized the scope and provides it to the management service.
