Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing crop protection compositions are used, then they provide basic pest control function, but they have limited spectrum of action and develop resistance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum of actionVSAvoidresistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the chemical structure of crop protection agents through specific bicyclic heterocyclic core structures with varied substituents (R1-R6, R6a, R7-R11). This structural parameter modification creates novel compounds with improved spectral activity against multiple pest types while maintaining efficacy and reducing resistance development through different modes of action.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If existing pesticides are applied, then they control pests, but they show toxicity and harm beneficial species

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovetoxicityVSAvoidefficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by designing pesticides with specific localized functional groups and substituent patterns on the bicyclic heterocyclic core. This enables selective toxicity where the molecule interacts specifically with target pest receptors while sparing beneficial species, achieving high efficacy against pests with reduced non-selective harm.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If complex synthesis routes are used, then diverse compounds can be produced, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompound diversityVSAvoidsynthesis complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the synthesis into modular stages: constructing the bicyclic heterocyclic core structure first, then systematically adding different substituent groups (R1-R6, R6a, R7-R11) in subsequent steps. This segmented approach enables diverse compound production through combinatorial chemistry while maintaining manageable synthesis complexity through standardized intermediate structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
