Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional plug-in creation methods are used, then plug-in functionality can be achieved, but the threshold for creation is high and requires professional expertise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a visual configuration interface as an intermediary between the user and the plug-in creation system. This interface allows users to create plug-ins through graphical operations rather than direct programming, mediating the complexity by translating user-friendly actions into functional plug-in code automatically.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical programming approach with an automated generation system. Instead of requiring users to manually write and debug code, the system automatically generates plug-in code based on user configurations, substituting the manual coding process with an automated system that handles the complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If professional expertise is required for plug-in creation, then plug-in quality can be ensured, but user-driven creation is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables users to create their own plug-ins through the visual configuration interface without requiring professional expertise. The system provides self-service capabilities where users can independently configure and generate plug-ins based on their specific needs, empowering non-experts to create customized solutions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates validation and error detection mechanisms in the visual configuration interface that provide real-time feedback to users. This feedback system guides users through the creation process, ensuring that configurations meet quality standards while maintaining ease of use, thus preserving reliability without requiring expert knowledge.
3Ease of operation
If a simplified creation process is provided, then user convenience is improved, but the interaction window and portal complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the interaction window and portal to serve multiple functions: displaying chat interactions, providing access to plug-in creation tools, and managing plug-in configurations. By making these interface elements multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for separate dedicated interfaces, thereby improving convenience without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

AI summary
According to an embodiment of the disclosure, methods, apparatuses, devices, and storage medium for creating plug-ins are provided. The method includes: providing a plug-in creation portal in a first page associated with an interaction window between a digital assistant and a first user; providing a second page for creating a target plug-in based on a selection of the plug-in creation portal; obtaining inputted plug-in creation information about the target plug-in via the second page; and in response to receiving an operation of releasing the target plug-in, releasing the target plug-in based on the plug-in creation information, the released target plug-in being selectable for an interaction between a user and the digital assistant. In this way, the user can conveniently and quickly complete the creation of the plug-in, thereby helping the user to efficiently complete diversified operations by means of the plug-in during the interaction with the digital assistant.
