Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If dynamic testing of multiple image capture settings is performed on each device, then image capture quality and application success rate are improved, but device complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication success rateVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs dynamic testing of image capture settings during the initial setup or first launch of the application, before actual remote deposit capture operations begin. This preliminary characterization of device camera capabilities ensures that optimal settings are predetermined, avoiding the need for complex real-time testing during actual transactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically performs the dynamic testing and configuration without requiring manual intervention from users or device administrators. The mobile device itself executes the testing routines and applies the determined optimal settings, eliminating the need for external calibration equipment or expert configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic testing of image capture settings is performed, then compatibility across different hardware devices is improved, but time required for setup and configuration increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehardware compatibilityVSAvoidconfiguration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs dynamic testing of image capture settings during the initial setup or first launch of the application, before actual remote deposit capture operations begin. This preliminary characterization of device camera capabilities ensures that optimal settings are predetermined, avoiding the need for complex real-time testing during actual transactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the results from dynamic testing to automatically adjust and optimize image capture settings for each specific device. This feedback loop enables the system to adapt to different hardware variations and determine the best configuration for each device type, improving compatibility across diverse hardware platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
