Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If medical imaging data is transmitted from remote servers to mobile devices, then remote access capability is improved, but bandwidth consumption increases and privacy security deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only the necessary presentation data (display parameters, metadata, and essential image information) rather than the complete medical imaging datasets. This selective extraction approach enables remote access functionality while significantly reducing bandwidth consumption by transmitting only what is needed for display purposes.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of transmitting raw imaging data from server to device and then processing it, the system inverts the approach by having the server process and convert data into presentation format before transmission. This reversal optimizes bandwidth usage by sending pre-processed, device-specific data rather than raw data requiring client-side processing.
2Measurement precision
If complete medical imaging data is transmitted to ensure data quality, then measurement precision is improved, but bandwidth consumption increases and transmission time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and transmits only the essential presentation data required for accurate display, including display parameters and critical image information, rather than transmitting complete datasets. This extraction maintains sufficient data quality for diagnostic purposes while significantly reducing transmission time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the data format and parameters by converting complete imaging data into presentation data with optimized display parameters before transmission. This parameter transformation maintains the essential diagnostic quality while reducing data size and transmission time through efficient data representation.
3Loss of information
If raw medical imaging data is transmitted, then data completeness is improved, but privacy security deteriorates and bandwidth consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and transmits only presentation data containing display parameters and essential image information, deliberately excluding sensitive patient identifiers and complete raw datasets. This extraction maintains functional completeness for display purposes while enhancing privacy security by removing unnecessary sensitive information.
4Manufacturing precision
If data is transmitted in original format, then data fidelity is improved, but device compatibility deteriorates and ease of operation worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms original imaging data into presentation data with device-specific display parameters, converting the data format to match various mobile device capabilities. This parameter adaptation maintains essential data fidelity while improving device compatibility and ease of operation across different platforms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates universal presentation data that can be displayed across multiple device types by incorporating adaptive display parameters. This multi-functional approach ensures data fidelity is maintained while achieving broad device compatibility, allowing the same presentation data to function correctly on various mobile devices.

AI summary
A method and system for providing remote access to data for display on a client computer via a computer network is provided. A first and second server computer connected to a computer network execute a first and second server remote access program, respectively, for communicating with an associated first and second application program. The client computer, which is also connected to the computer network, executes a client remote access program for simultaneously communicating with the first and second server remote access programs via a first and second communication link. The first and second server remote access programs determine first and second presentation data indicative of an application state of the first and second application programs. The client remote access program receives the first and the second presentation data and determines display data in dependence thereupon for substantially simultaneously displaying the first and the second presentation data.
