Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If independent service code is developed for different service scenarios, then service functionality is improved, but development time and manpower increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a unified service processing framework that can handle multiple service scenarios (access control, payment, check-in, etc.) through a single set of general-purpose code. The framework uses configurable parameters and templates to adapt to different scenarios without requiring separate code development for each scenario, thus reducing development time while maintaining service functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by allowing service scenarios to be differentiated through configuration parameters rather than code changes. The system stores scenario-specific settings (such as service type, authentication methods, pricing rules) in a database, enabling the same codebase to support multiple scenarios by simply changing configuration parameters.
2Adaptability or versatility
If independent service code is developed for different service scenarios, then service functionality is improved, but development and maintenance costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The unified service processing framework reduces development and maintenance costs by eliminating the need to maintain separate codebases for different service scenarios. A single team can maintain the general-purpose code, and scenario-specific functionality is achieved through configuration rather than custom code, significantly lowering maintenance overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs copying by using templates and patterns that can be replicated across different service scenarios. Once a service scenario is configured and tested, the same template can be copied and adapted for similar scenarios, reducing both initial development costs and ongoing maintenance expenses.
3Speed
If configuration information is stored on terminal device, then data access speed is improved, but data security and management control decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the nested doll principle by implementing a hierarchical data storage structure where configuration information is stored in multiple layers: frequently accessed data is cached on the terminal device for fast access, while master data and sensitive information are stored on the server. The terminal device's local storage is nested within the broader server-based storage system, allowing both fast access and centralized security control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses an intermediary approach by implementing a configuration management module that acts as a mediator between the terminal device and server. This module handles data synchronization, security validation, and access control, allowing the terminal to access data quickly while the server maintains security and management control through the intermediary layer.
Data Source
AI summary
An interactive device to be configured for a target merchant obtains a configuration information set of the target merchant, and executes embedded general-purpose code with one or more configuration fields being set according to one or more configuration field values from the configuration information set. The interactive device displays a service main page based on the configuration information set, and obtains target biological information of a target object in response to an information collection prompt on the service main page. When a biological recognition service is not enabled on a target object account of the target object and in response to a notification indicative of an authorized enabling operation on a target user terminal that is logged in the target object account, the interactive device displays a service enabling page for prompting that the biological recognition service is enabled. Apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium counterpart embodiments are also contemplated.
