1Reliability

If manual determination by engineers is used to generate attachments in logical topology diagrams, then the accuracy and professionalism of attachment selection can be ensured, but the efficiency and productivity of diagram generation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccuracy of attachment selectionVSAvoidefficiency of diagram generation

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic generation of attachments by having the computer execute instructions to automatically determine attachment types and positioning points based on relationship level classification and diagram elements, eliminating the need for manual engineer intervention while maintaining accuracy through structured algorithms

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of engineer review and selection is replaced with an automated computer-based system that uses relationship level classification and algorithmic determination to identify attachments and their positions, substituting human cognitive work with computational processes

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If automatic generation methods are implemented for attachments in logical topology diagrams, then the efficiency and productivity of diagram creation is improved, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveefficiency of diagram generationVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The attachment generation process is segmented into distinct components: relationship level classification, attachment type determination, positioning point identification, and attachment generation. This modular approach manages system complexity by breaking down the automated process into manageable, independent functional blocks

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Relationship level classification and attachment type determination are performed as preliminary actions before actual attachment generation. This preparatory structuring of data and classification reduces the complexity of the main generation process by organizing information in advance

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
