Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If logistics information is stored in original format, then complete information is preserved, but user reading convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiduser reading convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments logistics information into standardized fields (tracking number, logistics status, location, time, etc.) and matches them with corresponding template placeholders. This segmentation allows the system to preserve complete information while organizing it into user-friendly standardized formats that improve readability and convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms logistics information by changing its presentation parameters from raw, unstructured data to standardized, structured formats using templates. The transformation process converts original logistics data into standardized information with consistent field names, formats, and structures, making it more readable while preserving all essential information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If both original and standardized logistics information are stored, then information availability is improved, but storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation availabilityVSAvoidstorage requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary transformation of logistics information into standardized format upon receipt, rather than storing both original and standardized versions. The standardization process converts raw logistics data into structured, template-based formats that are immediately ready for user display, eliminating the need to maintain duplicate storage for both formats.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates standardized copies of logistics information using predefined templates that capture all essential information in a user-friendly format. These template-based representations serve as functional equivalents to the original data, providing the same information availability needs while occupying less storage space through efficient structuring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

The present application provides a method for processing logistics information, so as to process original logistics information uploaded by a logistics system into logistics information of a standardized format. Firstly, according to a logistics state indicated by logistics information, an information presentation template containing multiple information items is determined and logistics presentation information corresponding to each information item is determined, and the logistics presentation information is filled into the information presentation template to obtain standardized logistics information to be presented to a user, where the standardized logistics information better meets the requirement of the degree of attention from the user on the logistics information, and is easier for the user to read, so the user experience is good. Besides, the present application also provides an apparatus for processing logistics information, to ensure the application and implementation of the method in practice.
