Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automated design is implemented only in software, then design efficiency is improved, but arrangement accuracy is limited to software visualization accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign efficiencyVSAvoidarrangement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a coordinate conversion system as an intermediary between software visualization and actual installation. The system converts virtual coordinates from software design into real-world installation coordinates, enabling accurate physical placement. This intermediary layer bridges the gap between digital design and physical implementation, maintaining both automation efficiency and high arrangement accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If engineers rely on experience for design tasks, then design quality is improved, but design process becomes subjective and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign qualityVSAvoiddesign time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service design by automatically performing arrangement calculations and generating installation plans without requiring engineer intervention for routine decisions. The automated algorithm independently determines optimal device positions based on input parameters, eliminating subjective variations and reducing design time while maintaining consistent quality through standardized computational methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Device complexity

If simple calculation and arrangement methods are used for model selection, then device complexity is reduced, but design accuracy deviates from actual construction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign process complexityVSAvoiddesign accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
