Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If surveys are conducted during live performances, then viewer feedback can be obtained in real-time, but the complexity of the distribution system increases due to needing to handle both online and venue viewers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time feedback collectionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The service provision unit is designed to handle multiple functions: distributing live video to online viewers, managing venue display content, and collecting survey responses from both online and venue viewers through a unified interface. This multi-functional design consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems into a single versatile platform.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The distribution system acts as an intermediary between the live performance venue, online viewers, and survey data collection. It receives video feeds from the venue, distributes them to online viewers, simultaneously manages local display at the venue, and coordinates survey distribution and collection across both groups, simplifying the overall architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If the system accepts responses from both online and venue viewers, then comprehensive survey data is obtained, but the service provision unit must handle more complex response routing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesurvey response completenessVSAvoidresponse handling complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The service provision unit provides a universal response acceptance interface that handles submissions from both online viewers (via internet connection) and venue viewers (via local terminal), consolidating multiple response channels into a single processing unit that manages routing automatically.

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

AI summary

A distribution system comprising: a video distribution unit that distributes live video to a first viewer terminal of a first viewer who is watching the video online; and a service provision unit that accepts responses to the questionnaire from both the first viewer terminal and a second viewer terminal of a second viewer who is watching the live performance at a venue.
