Linkage Operation System for Hardware Element Function Realization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies fail to sufficiently reflect various user demands in products, limiting their marketability and functionality, as products like application programs provide a single complete function, making them difficult to market unless they have a general set of functions.
Innovation Solution
A system that stores functional information about remotely located elements, identifies functions that can be performed by linking these elements based on the stored information, and transmits this information to a remote device, allowing for the realization of novel functions by performing linkage operations between hardware and software elements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a product provides one complete function, then the function is well-defined and complete, but the product becomes limited to specific users and difficult to market without generality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments a complete function into multiple independent functional elements that can be separately provided and combined. Instead of delivering one monolithic application program, the system breaks down functions into reusable elements that can be linked together to serve different user needs, thereby achieving both function completeness and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates universal functional elements that can be used across multiple different functions and applications. By designing elements with universal interfaces and standardized linking mechanisms, the same elements can serve various user demands when combined in different ways, enabling a single element library to address diverse market needs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If various user demands are reflected in product development, then user satisfaction increases, but product complexity increases making development difficult
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting functions into standardized elements, the patent reduces development complexity. Each element can be developed, tested, and validated independently, then reused across multiple applications. This modular approach makes it easier to accommodate various user demands without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that manages the linking and combination of functional elements. This intermediary layer handles the complexity of integrating multiple elements to satisfy diverse user demands, shielding developers from the full complexity while enabling versatile product configurations through standardized interfaces and composition mechanisms.

AI summary
A system that stores functional information indicating a capability of each of a plurality of elements located remotely from the system; identifies a function capable of being performed by linking a plurality of the elements based on the stored functional information; and transmits information corresponding to the identified function capable of being performed by linking the plurality of elements to a first device remote from the system.
