Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If user input data is directly synchronized with preset templates to generate recipes, then the recipe generation process is simple and fast, but the accuracy and reliability of the generated recipes are low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecipe generation speedVSAvoidrecipe accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary data processing layer between user input and recipe generation. This layer includes data cleaning modules that remove noise and error data, data analysis modules that process ingredient information, and data matching modules that align processed data with recipe templates. This intermediary processing ensures data quality and compatibility, thereby improving recipe accuracy while maintaining generation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary data processing and validation before recipe generation. User input data undergoes preprocessing including format standardization, completeness validation, and compatibility checking against the recipe template system. This preliminary action prevents errors from propagating to the final recipe output, ensuring higher reliability without significantly impacting generation speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If comprehensive ingredient-related data is collected and analyzed to improve recipe quality, then the accuracy and reliability of recipes improve, but the complexity of the recipe generation system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecipe accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the recipe generation system into distinct functional modules: data acquisition module, data cleaning module, data analysis module, data matching module, and recipe generation module. Each module handles a specific aspect of the data processing pipeline, making the overall complex system manageable and maintainable. The segmentation allows comprehensive data processing without creating an unmanageably complex monolithic system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent designs a universal data processing framework that can handle multiple types of ingredient-related data (nutrition information, storage requirements, compatibility data, user preferences) through standardized processing procedures. This multi-functional approach allows the system to process diverse data inputs using the same core infrastructure, reducing complexity compared to having separate processing paths for each data type

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