Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If elevator information is provided without standard model reference, then users can input building data freely, but users cannot examine elevator specifications based on standard models

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveelevator specification informationVSAvoiduser ability to examine specifications

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

A standard model inference unit is introduced as an intermediary component that receives building data from users and outputs inferred standard model information. This mediator translates raw building data into meaningful elevator specification references, enabling users to examine specifications based on standardized models without requiring manual configuration or complex input parameters

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If custom elevator specifications are designed without standard model guidance, then user customization flexibility increases, but manufacturing load and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveelevator specification customizationVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by inferring standard model information before the actual elevator design and manufacturing process. By pre-establishing standardized specifications based on building characteristics, the system provides a foundation that guides subsequent customization while maintaining manufacturing efficiency and reducing process complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If building data includes rental status information, then elevator capacity can be optimized for rental buildings, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveelevator capacity optimizationVSAvoiddata processing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:
