Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If customer evaluation is used to assess work order execution quality, then the evaluation process is simple and easy to implement, but the evaluation result becomes subjective and lacks objectivity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation implementation simplicityVSAvoidevaluation objectivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces multiple intermediary elements including video recorders, material usage recording devices, and IoT sensors as mediators between the work execution and evaluation processes. These intermediaries objectively record execution details, material consumption, and work quality metrics, replacing subjective customer evaluation with verifiable data from third-party recording devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements multi-source feedback mechanisms where video recorders, material usage devices, and IoT sensors continuously provide feedback data about work execution. This feedback loop allows real-time monitoring and objective assessment of work quality, duration, and material efficiency, enabling dynamic adjustment of evaluation results based on actual performance data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If multiple data sources and IoT devices are integrated for evaluation, then the evaluation objectivity and reliability improve, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation objectivityVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs a multi-functional evaluation system where a single evaluation server performs multiple functions: collecting data from various IoT devices, processing video recordings, analyzing material usage, calculating evaluation scores, and generating reports. This universal evaluation platform consolidates multiple functions into one system, reducing overall complexity despite integrating multiple data sources.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges multiple evaluation dimensions (work quality, duration, material efficiency) into a unified evaluation framework. By combining video analysis, sensor data, and material usage records into a single integrated evaluation process, the system achieves comprehensive objectivity without requiring separate complex systems for each evaluation aspect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Measurement precision

If dynamic adjustment of evaluation parameters is implemented based on execution data, then the evaluation accuracy improves, but the computational requirements and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoidevaluation processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing evaluation parameter weights and thresholds before actual work execution. Evaluation criteria, scoring standards, and adjustment rules are configured in advance, allowing the system to quickly process execution data without complex real-time calculations. This preconfiguration enables fast dynamic adjustment during and after work execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation system dynamically adjusts parameters such as evaluation weights, scoring thresholds, and criterion importance based on execution data characteristics. By changing parameters rather than recalculating entire evaluation models, the system achieves high accuracy with minimal processing time, adapting evaluation strictness and focus based on work type, difficulty, and execution conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
