Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If partitioned matrices are used to calculate large matrix products, then calculation efficiency is improved, but it becomes difficult for beginners to determine partition positions and procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary teaching tool that displays partition positions and calculation procedures between the user and the complex matrix calculation process. This intermediary provides visual guidance showing where to partition matrices and how to proceed with calculations, making the efficient partitioned matrix method accessible to beginners without requiring them to independently figure out the partitioning strategy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a visual copy or representation of the matrix calculation process that includes annotated partition positions and procedural guidance. By displaying a replicated view of the calculation with teaching overlays, users can learn the partitioning method by observing the visual representation rather than having to deduce it from abstract mathematical rules alone
2Loss of information
If conventional matrix calculation display is used, then the calculation result is shown, but the learning procedure for efficient calculation using partitioned matrices is not demonstrated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the matrix calculation display into multiple informational layers: the base calculation result and overlay teaching information. By dividing the display content into distinct segments (calculation output vs. partition position guidance vs. procedure instructions), the system can present comprehensive teaching information without overwhelming the user or requiring complete redesign of the display architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the conventional matrix calculation display function with an additional teaching display function into a single integrated system. By combining these functions, the device simultaneously provides both the calculation result and the learning procedure for partitioned matrices, eliminating the need for separate teaching materials or tools
