Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automated DSAR processing systems are implemented, then operational efficiency is improved, but device complexity and implementation cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The DSAR processing system is divided into distinct functional modules: a request reception module that receives DSARs, an NLP interpretation module that processes natural language requests, an automated workflow engine that executes processing steps, and a fulfillment module that delivers results. This segmentation allows each module to be optimized independently while maintaining overall system efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

An automated workflow engine acts as an intermediary between the NLP interpretation module and the fulfillment module. It receives interpreted request parameters, dynamically generates processing workflows based on those parameters, and coordinates the execution of multiple processing steps, thereby managing system complexity through centralized orchestration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If NLP and AI technologies are integrated for automated processing, then productivity increases, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing throughputVSAvoidtechnical complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The NLP engine automatically interprets DSAR requests without requiring manual analysis, extracting key parameters such as data types, time ranges, and format preferences directly from the natural language input. This self-service capability eliminates the need for manual request analysis and significantly increases processing throughput.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts processing parameters based on the interpreted DSAR request. The automated workflow engine generates different processing workflows depending on the data types requested, the jurisdiction applicable, and the preferred delivery format, allowing the system to adapt to varying request complexities without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If manual DSAR handling is used, then system complexity is reduced, but loss of time and productivity decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining processing workflows for different DSAR scenarios. When a request is received, the automated workflow engine selects and executes the appropriate pre-configured workflow, eliminating the need to design processing steps from scratch for each request and significantly reducing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Manual mechanical processing steps are replaced with automated electronic workflows. The system uses software-based workflow engines, database queries, and automated document generation to replace manual data retrieval, analysis, and response preparation, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining manageable complexity through automation.

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

4Reliability

If comprehensive data retrieval is performed to ensure accuracy, then reliability improves, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data retrieval by querying multiple data sources simultaneously based on the interpreted request parameters. Rather than sequentially accessing each data source, the workflow engine parallelizes data retrieval operations, ensuring comprehensive data collection while minimizing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The automated workflow engine maintains continuous processing by orchestrating data retrieval, validation, redaction, and response generation in an uninterrupted sequence. This eliminates idle time between processing steps and ensures that comprehensive data accuracy checks are performed without significant time delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
