Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If preset operating parameters are used for memory storage devices, then device complexity is reduced and manufacturing is simplified, but adaptability to different host systems deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidadaptability to host systems
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of operating parameters through a performance match command mechanism. The memory storage device transitions from static factory-set parameters to dynamic parameters that can be adjusted based on host system requirements. The control circuit receives performance match commands from the host system and automatically adjusts operating parameters accordingly, enabling the device to adapt to different performance requirements without manual reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes physical or operational parameters of the memory storage device by adjusting operating parameters such as read/write speeds, timing sequences, and data bus configurations. These parameter changes are triggered by performance match commands from the host system, allowing the device to optimize its operation for specific performance requirements while maintaining compatibility across different host systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If factory preset operating parameters are used, then device complexity remains low, but operating efficiency under varying conditions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol complexityVSAvoidoperating efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The memory storage device performs self-adjustment of operating parameters based on performance match commands from the host system. The control circuit automatically interprets the performance requirements and configures appropriate operating parameters without requiring manual intervention. This self-service capability allows the device to optimize its own performance while maintaining relatively simple control architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the host system sends performance match commands based on its performance requirements, and the memory storage device adjusts its operating parameters in response. This closed-loop feedback system ensures that the device operates efficiently under varying conditions by continuously adapting to host system needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If fixed operating parameters are used, then compatibility issues are avoided, but performance optimization for specific host systems deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility stabilityVSAvoidperformance optimization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from fixed operating parameters to dynamic parameters that can be adjusted based on host system requirements. The control circuit maintains compatibility by receiving and processing performance match commands from the host system, then adjusts operating parameters accordingly. This dynamic approach ensures both compatibility across different host systems and optimization for specific performance requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The memory storage device achieves universality by being able to operate with multiple types of host systems through the performance match command mechanism. The control circuit is designed to interpret different performance requirements from various host systems and adjust operating parameters to match, enabling a single device to serve multiple host system types optimally while maintaining compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
