Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual tagging is used for digital assets, then tag accuracy can be maintained, but time consumption and labor requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetag accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables digital assets to self-tag by automatically extracting attributes and generating tags from the asset content itself. The processing system analyzes the digital asset's attributes and generates appropriate tags without requiring manual intervention, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring human labor for tagging operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical tagging processes with automated computational systems. Instead of humans manually assigning tags, the system uses processing systems that automatically extract attributes, generate tags, and associate them with digital assets, substituting human cognitive labor with automated information processing mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of time

If automated tagging systems are implemented, then time consumption decreases, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime consumptionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The tagging system is divided into distinct functional modules: attribute extraction components, tag generation components, and tag association components. Each module handles a specific aspect of the tagging process independently, making the overall complex system more manageable and easier to implement through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that sits between the digital asset and the tag. This processing system acts as a mediator that automatically extracts attributes from the asset and transforms them into appropriate tags, simplifying the interaction between assets and tags while managing system complexity through a dedicated intermediary layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If existing search methods are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but search effectiveness and discoverability of digital assets deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoidsearch effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameters of search by introducing semantic attribute-based searching instead of traditional keyword matching. By extracting and utilizing multiple attributes from digital assets (such as content type, format, characteristics), the search system can effectively retrieve assets based on their semantic properties, dramatically improving search effectiveness while adding only minimal complexity to the search interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A server-implemented method for publishing digital assets for distribution is disclosed. The method may include receiving a digital asset from a digital asset manager, identifying a plurality of attributes associated with the digital asset, and generating, based on the plurality of attributes, a plurality of natural language tags that correspond to the digital asset. The method may also include associating the plurality of natural language tags with the digital asset, generating a product page for the digital asset that includes at least one natural language tag, and publishing the digital asset for distribution to a client computing device by way of the digital asset manager. The plurality of natural language tags may be exposed to query functions implemented by the digital asset manager, and the client computing device may display the product page on a display device that is communicatively coupled to the client computing device.
