Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in efficiently measuring and managing electronic device characteristics due to the complexity of setting up measurement instruments and interpreting results, particularly when dealing with semiconductor devices, as existing tools lack user-friendly interfaces for displaying measurements in a data sheet format, leading to increased labor and costs.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allow users to set and display measurement conditions and results in a data sheet format, enabling interactive measurement and evaluation of electronic devices with characteristic parameters and graphs, using a GUI with dedicated sections for device identification, maximum ratings, characteristic parameters, and graphs, facilitating easier data interpretation and reporting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually set up measurement instruments and manage measurement results using existing tools, then measurement capability is achieved, but user burden and complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of measurementVSAvoidcomplexity of measurement setup
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a measurement result management device as an intermediary between the measurement instrument and the user. This device automatically acquires measurement results, manages them according to user-defined rules, and presents them in organized formats, thereby shielding users from the complexity of direct instrument operation while maintaining full measurement capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The measurement result management device enables automated self-service by automatically acquiring measurement results from instruments, organizing them according to predetermined rules, and generating reports without requiring manual user intervention in the measurement process itself, thus reducing operational burden

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of information

If users manually sort and manage measurement results by device type, then data organization is achieved, but labor and time requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata organizationVSAvoidtime for data management
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically organizing measurement results according to device types and other attributes before users need to access them. The measurement result management device sorts and categorizes data in advance, so when users need specific information, it is already prepared and easily accessible, eliminating the need for manual sorting operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where measurement results are automatically processed and organized, then presented back to users in structured formats. This closed-loop approach ensures data remains continuously organized without requiring repeated manual intervention, as the system maintains organization automatically

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If users create measurement environments and programs while paying attention to measurement conditions, then accurate measurements are achieved, but labor and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of measurementVSAvoidmeasurement efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The measurement result management device enables automated self-service by automatically acquiring measurement results from instruments under predetermined conditions, organizing them according to user-defined rules, and presenting them in organized formats, thereby shielding users from the complexity of direct instrument operation while maintaining full measurement capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
