Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If couples hesitate to visit medical professionals due to discomfort or unawareness, then they avoid potential stress and tension, but their fertility may deteriorate further due to delayed discovery of medical conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of seeking professional helpVSAvoidfertility outcome
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a digital health platform as an intermediary between couples and medical professionals. This platform provides anonymous, stigma-free access to fertility assessments and recommendations, allowing users to seek help without the discomfort of direct medical consultation. The system bridges the gap by offering preliminary guidance that can prompt users to seek professional care when needed, thus improving ease of access while maintaining fertility outcomes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If couples receive generic fertility advice, then the recommendation system is simple and easy to implement, but the effectiveness of the recommendations decreases for personalized needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of recommendation systemVSAvoideffectiveness of recommendations
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by providing personalized, customized fertility recommendations based on individual user profiles, medical histories, and specific fertility challenges. Rather than generic advice, the system tailors recommendations to each user's unique situation, including dietary needs, lifestyle modifications, and supplement recommendations specific to their fertility stage and medical conditions, thereby significantly improving recommendation effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by conducting comprehensive fertility assessments and creating personalized action plans before users seek professional medical intervention. This preliminary guidance prepares users with specific, evidence-based recommendations that can be implemented immediately, making the overall fertility journey more effective and reducing the need for trial-and-error approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If couples implement multiple lifestyle and dietary changes simultaneously, then fertility improvement potential increases, but the complexity of tracking and maintaining these changes increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefertility improvement potentialVSAvoidcomplexity of tracking changes
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing fertility optimization into distinct, manageable modules: dietary recommendations, lifestyle modifications, supplement regimens, and tracking metrics. Users can implement changes in prioritized phases rather than all at once, with the system providing structured guidance that breaks down complex protocols into actionable, trackable components, thereby reducing overwhelming complexity while maintaining comprehensive fertility improvement potential.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
