Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If traditional data storage methods are used without hashmap indexing, then data can be stored, but data retrieval becomes inefficient and computing operations experience delays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retrieval speedVSAvoidcomputing operation delay
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-generates hash keys for data elements before actual computing operations are needed. By creating the hashmap data structure in advance and pre-computing hash keys, the system eliminates the need for time-consuming key generation during runtime, thereby improving retrieval speed and reducing computing operation delays

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The hashmap data structure serves as an intermediary between raw data storage and computing operations. The hash key acts as a mediator that enables efficient lookup and retrieval of data elements, transforming the direct access problem into an indirect but much faster hash-based access mechanism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If hashmap data structures are implemented to improve data retrieval efficiency, then computing operations become faster, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputing operation efficiencyVSAvoiddata structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the computing operation into distinct phases: hash key generation, hashmap construction, and data retrieval. By dividing the complex process into manageable segments with clear responsibilities, the system achieves high productivity while making the complexity modular and easier to manage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hashmap data structure is designed to be universal and multi-functional, serving as a reusable component for various computing operations. Once constructed, the same hashmap can support multiple different queries and operations, amortizing the initial complexity setup cost across numerous productive operations

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

AI summary

A computing device receives a request to generate computing operations to effectuate a response for a function to an input set. The device generates a hashmap data structure. The hashmap data structure indexes respective data storage associated with a respective key of one or more keys. The device generates a first set of computing instructions to solve a first component for the function, executes the first set of computing instructions, and generates a first hash key. The first hash key represents multiple executions of the first set of computing instructions. The device stores the first hash key in the hashmap data structure to index a storage location in the hashmap data structure, generates a second set of computing instructions to solve a second component for the function, and executes the second set of computing instructions by using the first hash key to retrieve data indexed by the first hash key.
