Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If dialog systems are customized and extended to handle specific tasks, then functionality and task-specific performance are improved, but device complexity and difficulty of customization increase
Solution Approach 1:
The dialog system is segmented into a core system and separate extendable components (plugins, add-ons, updates, upgrades). These components can be independently developed, selected, and associated with the core system through the online marketplace, allowing functionality expansion without increasing core system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The online marketplace serves as a universal platform that hosts multiple dialog system extension elements from different providers. This single marketplace infrastructure supports diverse extension types (plugins, add-ons, updates, upgrades) and can be accessed by multiple end users, achieving multi-functionality without proportionally increasing system complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If dialog systems are customized and extended by end users, then adaptability and task coverage are improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to technical expertise requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables end users to independently select and associate dialog system extension elements with their own dialog systems through the online marketplace. Users can perform customization without requiring external technical assistance or deep technical knowledge, as the marketplace provides a self-service interface for extension element selection and association.
3Adaptability or versatility
If dialog systems are developed with extensive functionalities built-in, then versatility is improved, but development time and manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Dialog system extension elements are pre-developed and prepared in advance by various providers and made available in the online marketplace. End users can directly select and deploy these pre-built extensions without needing to develop functionalities from scratch, significantly reducing development time while maintaining high versatility.
