Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the entertainer is personally present at the event, then the quality of entertainment service is improved, but the ability to share the entertainer between multiple events deteriorates and travel constraints increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the entertainer through live video streaming, allowing the entertainer to perform at multiple events simultaneously without physical travel. The video feed transmits the entertainer's performance to multiple remote locations, enabling one entertainer to serve multiple events while maintaining performance quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of physical travel with an electronic video transmission system. Instead of the entertainer physically moving between locations, a video feed is transmitted electronically to multiple destinations, eliminating travel constraints while maintaining entertainment service delivery.
2Quantity of substance
If the DJ brings physical media (CDs, records, equipment), then music selection is limited by physical capacity, but having no physical media limits music availability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical media (CDs, records, tapes) with digital music files stored on electronic devices. The DJ uses a computer or digital media player with extensive music libraries that are not constrained by physical capacity. Music is transmitted digitally rather than through physical media, eliminating the need to transport heavy equipment while providing virtually unlimited music selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the music library universally accessible through digital storage, allowing the same music collection to be used across multiple events and locations without duplication. A single digital library can serve multiple performances, replacing the need for multiple physical media sets.
3Reliability
If the event planner attends the audition event, then the entertainer can be evaluated in person, but the event planner must be available at inconvenient times and locations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual audition experience by streaming the entertainer's performance via video. Event planners can watch the entertainer perform in real-time or review recorded performances from any location, eliminating the need to travel to the audition venue while maintaining the ability to evaluate performance quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a video streaming intermediary between the entertainer and the event planner. The video feed acts as a mediator that transmits the entertainer's performance to the event planner, allowing evaluation without direct physical presence and enabling flexible scheduling.
4Loss of energy
If the entertainer is located within reasonable traveling distance, then the cost of hiring is reduced, but the selection of entertainers is limited to local options
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical travel with electronic video transmission. Event planners can hire entertainers from any geographic location without incurring travel costs, as the entertainer performs remotely and the performance is transmitted via video feed. This eliminates the trade-off between travel cost and entertainer selection range.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions the entertainer selection from a geographic dimension (local vs. distant) to a digital dimension (available online). The constraint shifts from physical distance to digital accessibility, allowing event planners to access a global pool of entertainers without the traditional travel cost penalty.
