Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional cloud data storage services are used for file sharing, then information can be distributed between users, but users must navigate through complex file structures and provide multiple authentication inputs, increasing operation complexity and time consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cloud storage service as an intermediary between users and data files. The service automatically manages file distribution, storage, and retrieval operations, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate complex file structures or provide multiple authentication inputs. The cloud service acts as a mediator that handles these complex operations transparently, allowing users to access files through simple operations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If dedicated video conferencing hardware with sophisticated features is deployed, then video conferencing functionality is enhanced, but setup complexity and cost increase substantially
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables portable electronic devices to perform multiple functions including video conferencing, file sharing, and data synchronization using existing general-purpose hardware and cloud storage services. Instead of requiring dedicated video conferencing hardware, the system allows smartphones, tablets, and computers to function as video conferencing devices through software applications that leverage cloud storage for data management, thereby achieving versatility without increasing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud storage service acts as an intermediary that enables sophisticated video conferencing functionality without requiring complex local hardware setups. The cloud service handles data storage, synchronization, and distribution, allowing video conferencing applications to access and share files seamlessly across multiple devices and locations, thereby enhancing functionality while reducing setup complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If large software application files are distributed over the internet, then application functionality is improved, but internet traffic increases and distribution delays occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a system where software application files are pre-uploaded and stored in cloud storage services before distribution is needed. When users need to access or share these files during video conferencing or collaborative sessions, the files are already available in the cloud, enabling rapid retrieval and distribution without waiting for large file transfers over the internet during the actual usage moment.
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud storage service acts as an intermediary that facilitates efficient distribution of large software application files. Instead of direct peer-to-peer transfers that cause network congestion and delays, the cloud service receives, stores, and redistributes files on demand, managing internet traffic more effectively and reducing distribution delays while maintaining access to large application files.
