Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual setting operation is used to associate operation portions with game objects, then the game device can support multiple operation portions, but the operability deteriorates due to complex settings required before or during the game
Solution Approach 1:
The game device automatically identifies which operation portion corresponds to which game object without requiring player intervention. The determination portion analyzes operation information from multiple operation portions and automatically establishes the correspondence, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual configuration by the player.
Solution Approach 2:
The automatic identification and assignment of operation portions to game objects is performed before the game begins or during initialization, eliminating the need for players to perform complex setting operations during gameplay. This preliminary automatic configuration resolves the contradiction by preparing the system in advance without player burden.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual setting operation is required to establish correspondence between operation portions and game objects, then the game device can function with multiple operation portions, but the game setup time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The determination portion automatically performs the identification and assignment tasks that would otherwise require manual player input, eliminating setting operation time while maintaining full multi-operation portion functionality. The system determines correspondences autonomously based on operation information analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual setting process with an automated electronic determination system. Instead of requiring players to manually configure connections between operation portions and game objects, the determination portion electronically analyzes operation information and automatically establishes the correspondence, eliminating time loss.
3Ease of operation
If automated identification of operation portions is implemented, then operability improves by eliminating manual settings, but device complexity increases due to addition of determination and identification portions
Solution Approach 1:
The determination portion and identification portion are designed to work together as an integrated automated configuration system that handles multiple operation portions through a unified process. This multi-functional approach manages the complexity by creating a cohesive subsystem that automatically handles identification, correspondence establishment, and parameter assignment across all operation portions.
Solution Approach 2:
The determination portion analyzes operation information from operation portions and uses this feedback to automatically identify and establish correspondences with game objects. This feedback mechanism allows the system to self-configure based on actual operation data, managing complexity through intelligent automated decision-making rather than rigid pre-programmed configurations.
