Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual selection is used to distinguish photo quality, then no additional equipment is needed, but the process is inefficient and consumes excessive time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephoto quality evaluation efficiencyVSAvoidtime for manual photo selection
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical selection process with an automated image quality evaluation device that uses computer vision algorithms and image processing techniques to automatically analyze and evaluate photo quality, thereby eliminating the need for manual intervention and significantly improving evaluation efficiency

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

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation device enables photos to be automatically assessed without human intervention by implementing self-service functionality where the system independently analyzes image parameters, compares them against quality standards, and generates evaluation results, freeing users from the time-consuming manual selection process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Extent of automation

If automated image quality evaluation is implemented, then evaluation efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage quality evaluation automationVSAvoidcomplexity of evaluation device
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The evaluation device is divided into distinct functional modules including image acquisition module, parameter analysis module, evaluation calculation module, and result output module. Each module performs a specific function in the evaluation process, making the complex system more manageable and easier to implement while achieving high automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation device is designed with multi-functional capabilities that can assess multiple photo quality parameters (sharpness, exposure, composition, color accuracy) using a single integrated system, reducing the need for multiple separate devices and simplifying the overall system complexity while maintaining high automation

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