Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If cooking information is shared across multiple electronic devices in a network system, then user experience in augmented reality cooking environments is enhanced, but system complexity and synchronization challenges increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that manages cooking information sharing between multiple electronic devices. The server receives cooking information from a first electronic device, identifies target second electronic devices based on device information, and transmits the information to them. This intermediary architecture centralizes the complexity of multi-device coordination, allowing individual user devices to maintain simpler designs while still benefiting from enhanced collaborative cooking experiences through augmented reality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If cooking information is transmitted to multiple user terminals, then collaboration and sharing are improved, but information synchronization and consistency become more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecollaborationVSAvoidinformation synchronization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the server receives device information from multiple electronic devices, uses this feedback to identify appropriate target devices for information transmission, and adjusts its routing decisions accordingly. The server collects device information (such as device types, capabilities, and user associations) and uses this feedback loop to ensure cooking information is transmitted to the correct devices, thereby maintaining synchronization consistency while enabling collaborative operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as a mediating hub that receives cooking information from one device and intelligently distributes it to multiple target devices based on their device information. This intermediary approach ensures that all receiving devices get the correct information in the appropriate format, maintaining consistency across the network while facilitating easy collaboration among users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If cooking information is adjusted based on device model information, then device compatibility is improved, but processing time and system overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compatibilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having electronic devices pre-send their device information (including device model, capabilities, and identifiers) to the server before actual cooking information transmission occurs. The server stores this device information and uses it to pre-identify target devices and prepare appropriate information formats. This preliminary setup eliminates the need for complex real-time processing during information transmission, reducing processing time while maintaining high device compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The server changes parameters of the cooking information based on the device model information of target devices. It adjusts information formats, resolution, or content parameters to match the specific capabilities of each receiving device. This parameter adaptation ensures compatibility across different device models without requiring complex real-time processing, as the transformations are based on pre-known device characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A virtual space server in a network system to receive a first signal to share cooking information from a first user terminal while providing a virtual space to the first user terminal. The virtual space server transmits the first signal to an IoT server, on the basis of having received the first signal. The IoT server in the network system may transmit, on the basis of the first signal, one or more second signals associated with the cooking information of the first signal to one or more second user terminals different from the first user terminal.
