Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If electronic tickets are used for ticketing experiences, then cost is reduced and fraud is combated, but the ability to provide tangible keepsake or memorabilia is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud preventionVSAvoidloss of sentimental value
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a visual copy or representation of the electronic ticket data in a memorabilia template that can be printed or displayed. The template includes fields for event name, date, location, and other ticket information, reproducing the essential elements of the e-ticket in a keepsake format without compromising the electronic ticket's security functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Ease of operation

If electronic tickets are used, then convenience of delivery and sharing is improved, but tangible proof of attendance is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveticket delivery convenienceVSAvoidtangible proof of attendance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The memorabilia template serves as an intermediary between the electronic ticket and the user's physical keepsake collection. It translates digital ticket data into a printable, tangible format that can be displayed or stored, providing physical proof of attendance while the electronic ticket remains in digital form for entry purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Object-generated harmful factors

If customizable memorabilia templates are created from electronic tickets, then sentimental value and aesthetic appeal are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesentimental valueVSAvoidmemorabilia system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides pre-designed memorabilia templates with predetermined layouts, fields, and design elements before the user needs to create their keepsake. These templates include common event types (concerts, sports, theater) with appropriate formatting, reducing the complexity of customization while still allowing user-specific data entry.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

A customizable memorabilia system is provided. The system includes a computer server having a memory storing memorabilia templates and ticketed experience data associated with the memorabilia templates. The system also includes a user computing device coupled to the computer server. The computer server may be programmed to receive from the user computing device a signal including E-ticket data, wherein the E-ticket data may include ticket code information. The computer server may also be programmed to automatically process the signal received from the user computing device and retrieve ticketed experience data corresponding to the E-ticket data. Using the ticketed experience data retrieved, the computer server may also be programmed to automatically generate and transmit to the user computing device for display a user interface for customizing a memorabilia template with customizable features, wherein the customizable features are customized for producing a memorabilia item including a physical item or a digital item.
