Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If individuals attempt intermittent fasting without technology assistance, then they can maintain simplicity and avoid complex devices, but they lack accurate tracking of physical changes and scientific guidance leading to difficulty in completing fasting plans

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of tracking physical changesVSAvoidcomplexity of fasting assistance system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal integrates multiple functions including recording physical changes, providing scientific guidance, supervising fasting progress, and offering interactive interfaces into a single universal device. This allows users to access comprehensive fasting assistance without needing multiple separate tools or complex specialized equipment.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables users to independently track and record their own physical changes during fasting through the mobile terminal interface. Users can self-monitor their progress, view physiological stage information, and adjust their fasting plans without requiring external medical equipment or professional intervention for basic tracking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If users execute fasting plans alone without supervision, then they maintain independence and avoid external monitoring, but they lack scientific guidance and reasonable supervision making it easy to give up partway

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of fasting executionVSAvoidadherence to fasting plan
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal provides continuous feedback to users during fasting by displaying real-time physiological stage information based on elapsed time. The system monitors progress through recorded data and provides guidance messages, stage transitions, and visual indicators that inform users of their current state, encouraging continued adherence to the fasting plan.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-provides scientific guidance and fasting plan information to users before they begin their fasting journey. Users can review physiological stage information, understand what to expect at different time points, and prepare mentally for the fasting experience, reducing the likelihood of giving up partway through.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If comprehensive recording and supervision functions are integrated into a single terminal, then users gain convenient and easy-to-use technology for tracking and guidance, but the device complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration of recording and guidance functionsVSAvoidsoftware program complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines recording functions, guidance provision, and supervision capabilities into a single integrated mobile terminal application. Rather than requiring separate devices or systems for each function, the software program unifies these capabilities within one accessible platform that users interact with through a consistent interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile terminal acts as an intermediary between users and the complex data processing requirements. The device handles the sophisticated calculations for determining physiological stages, processing recorded physical change data, and generating guidance information, while presenting simplified information to users through an easy-to-navigate interface that masks the underlying complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
