Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manual production of emoticon resources is used, then the quality and accuracy of emoticon packages can be maintained, but the production period becomes long and costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of emoticon packageVSAvoidproduction period
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical production system with an automated computer-based system. The system uses image recognition technology to automatically identify emoticon pictures, extract features, and generate matching text descriptions, thereby eliminating the need for manual production while maintaining or improving accuracy and significantly reducing production time.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables emoticon packages to generate their own associated text automatically through feature extraction and matching algorithms. The emoticon picture itself provides the necessary information for text generation through its visual features, eliminating the need for external manual annotation services.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Manufacturing precision

If manual production of emoticon resources is used, then the quality of emoticon packages can be maintained, but production costs become high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality of emoticon packageVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces expensive manual production with automated computer-based processing. The system uses efficient image recognition and text matching algorithms that consume minimal computational resources compared to human labor costs, thereby maintaining quality while significantly reducing production costs.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates emoticon packages by copying and adapting existing successful patterns from the emoticon database. Instead of manually creating each emoticon from scratch, the system replicates proven effective structures and associations, reducing the energy and cost required for production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If automated text generation is implemented, then production efficiency can be improved, but the accuracy of matching text may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction efficiencyVSAvoidaccuracy of matching text
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the extracted features from emoticon pictures are continuously refined based on matching results. The text matching process uses feedback from similarity comparisons to adjust and improve the accuracy of generated text, ensuring that automated production maintains high precision while achieving improved efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces feature extraction and text matching algorithms as intermediaries between the emoticon picture and the final text description. These intermediaries process the visual information through multiple stages (feature extraction, similarity comparison, text selection) to ensure accurate matching while maintaining high production efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
