Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a script corresponding to the cooperation service is generated in advance manually, then the script can be executed to register information into the cooperation service, but the workload of generating the script increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescript execution capabilityVSAvoidscript generation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by allowing the script to be automatically generated through AI based on service specifications, eliminating the need for manual script creation while ensuring the script can be executed to register information into the cooperation service

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of script generation is replaced by an AI-based automated system that generates scripts by processing service specifications, thereby maintaining script execution capability while eliminating manual workload

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

2Productivity

If the script generation process is automated using generative AI, then the workload of generating the script is reduced, but additional complexity is introduced in the generation process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescript generation efficiencyVSAvoidgeneration process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

An information processing apparatus serves as an intermediary between the service specification and the generated script, managing the AI generation process and handling the complexity of prompt creation, AI interaction, and script output, thereby reducing the perceived complexity for users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a script is generated manually for each cooperation service, then the script can be customized to fit specific service requirements, but the time required for script generation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice-specific customizationVSAvoidscript generation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system adapts to different cooperation services by changing parameters in the prompt provided to the AI, such as service specifications and registration requirements, thereby generating customized scripts for each service without requiring manual rewriting, thus reducing script generation time while maintaining service-specific adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
