Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If manual organization method is used to construct drug resistance database, then the database can be built with simple process, but the update timeliness and information completeness are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconstruction process simplicityVSAvoidinformation accuracy and completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical organization process with an automated computer-based system. The construction module automatically acquires mutation information from multiple data sources, processes it through standardized workflows, and generates the drug resistance database without manual intervention, thereby improving information accuracy and completeness while maintaining ease of construction through automation.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The construction module is designed to universally acquire mutation information from multiple different data sources (literatures, databases, clinical data) and process various types of mutation data through a unified standardization process, enabling the system to handle diverse input formats and sources while maintaining consistent output quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of manufacture

If manual organization method is used to construct drug resistance database, then the construction process is simple, but the update timeliness is delayed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconstruction process simplicityVSAvoidupdate timeliness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The automated construction module replaces manual data collection and organization processes with computer-based automation. The module can continuously acquire mutation information from multiple sources and update the database in real-time or near-real-time, dramatically reducing update time from weeks or months to minutes or hours while maintaining construction simplicity through standardized automated workflows.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The construction module is designed to continuously acquire mutation information from multiple data sources and update the database without interruption. The automated system operates continuously to monitor new mutations, validate them against existing data, and incorporate validated information into the database, ensuring timely updates without manual intervention gaps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Productivity

If automated construction method is used to improve database efficiency, then the construction speed increases, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedatabase construction efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The automated construction system is divided into distinct functional modules: an acquisition module that collects mutation information from multiple sources, a construction module that processes and standardizes the data, and a storage module that organizes the final database. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function efficiently while keeping the overall system manageable through clear modular boundaries and standardized interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
