Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional visual data identification methods are used, then the process is simple, but it is inaccurate and inflexible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidprocess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an interactive video presentation system with object-based questioning as an intermediary between traditional visual data identification and accurate results. The system presents multiple-choice questions about video objects, allowing users to interactively search for information without complex manual identification processes, thereby achieving high accuracy without proportional complexity increase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically presenting relevant questions about video objects based on user interaction. The processor automatically identifies video objects, generates appropriate questions, and provides answers through the interactive interface, eliminating the need for complex external analysis tools while maintaining high identification accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If traditional visual data identification methods are used, then resources are not heavily consumed, but the process is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch efficiencyVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing video content to identify objects and prepare interactive questions before user interaction. The processor analyzes video frames in advance, detects objects, and generates question sets, so that when users interact, immediate accurate answers are provided without time-consuming real-time analysis, thereby improving productivity with controlled resource usage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs periodic action by processing video data in discrete frames and presenting questions at regular intervals during video playback. This allows the system to manage computational resources efficiently by activating intensive processing only when needed for interactive questioning, rather than continuously, thus improving search efficiency while controlling resource consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional visual data identification methods are used, then the process is straightforward, but it lacks flexibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction flexibilityVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies dynamics by adapting the interactive questioning interface based on user responses and video content. The processor dynamically generates and presents different questions about video objects, adjusting the interaction flow based on user selections, thereby providing flexibility and adaptability while maintaining ease of operation through an intuitive interface that responds to user actions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
