Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If conventional predefined process orchestration is used, then process structure and control are maintained, but adaptability and scalability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocess structureVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transforming the static, predefined process orchestration into a dynamic system that continuously adapts to changing conditions. The orchestration engine dynamically generates, modifies, and optimizes process models based on real-time data from event logs and process information, allowing the system to evolve its structure and behavior while maintaining operational stability through controlled adaptation mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter changes by modifying process model parameters based on extracted process information and performance outcomes. The system dynamically adjusts process parameters such as step sequences, resource allocations, and control logic to optimize process execution while maintaining structural integrity through systematic parameter evolution rather than rigid predefined configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If rigid predefined process orchestration is used, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but productivity and responsiveness to anomalies deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidprocess execution efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by enabling the process orchestration system to automatically extract process information from event logs, generate process models, and optimize execution without requiring manual reconfiguration for each change scenario. The system autonomously adapts to anomalies and changing conditions by self-learning from process outcomes and self-adjusting orchestration parameters, thereby maintaining implementation simplicity while dramatically improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring process execution outcomes and using this information to dynamically adjust process orchestration. The system extracts feedback from event logs and performance metrics, then uses this feedback to optimize process models and improve execution efficiency, creating a closed-loop system that continuously enhances productivity while maintaining operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If manual process management with individual discretion is used, then flexibility in decision-making is improved, but consistency and reliability of process outcomes deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecision flexibilityVSAvoidoutcome consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by creating a standardized process orchestration framework that applies consistent rules and logic across all process instances while still accommodating individual case variations. The system uses universal process models and decision logic that can be consistently applied to different scenarios, ensuring reliable and consistent outcomes while maintaining the flexibility to handle diverse process requirements through parameterized adaptations.

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