Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual methods are used to determine exciting moments in game videos, then accuracy in identifying key moments can be maintained, but time consumption and manpower requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy in identifying exciting momentsVSAvoidtime consumption in determining exciting moments
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical analysis with an automated computer-based system that uses image recognition and health point data processing to identify exciting moments, thereby eliminating time-consuming manual review while maintaining identification accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically analyzing game video frames, extracting health point information, and identifying exciting moments without requiring human operators, allowing the system to process and determine key moments independently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If automated methods are used to determine exciting moments, then time efficiency improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime efficiency in determining exciting momentsVSAvoidcomplexity of automated analysis system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential health point information from game video frames using image recognition, focusing on specific visual elements rather than analyzing the entire video content, thereby simplifying the automated system while maintaining efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses multi-functional processing that handles video frame capture, image recognition, health point extraction, and exciting moment identification through a unified automated platform, reducing overall system complexity through integrated design

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

3Reliability

If comprehensive video analysis is performed to identify all exciting moments, then completeness of identification improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of exciting moment identificationVSAvoidprocessing speed of video analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces comprehensive manual video analysis with automated health point data extraction from video frames, using computer-based image recognition to rapidly process visual information and identify exciting moments with both completeness and speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the analysis parameter from comprehensive visual content review to specific health point value extraction, transforming the identification process into a focused data extraction task that maintains reliability while dramatically improving processing speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
