Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the user machine directly classifies and manages the desktop icons on the user machine desktop, then the desktop management is simple, but the desktop content will be lost or disordered when operation errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a mirror desktop that copies the icons and arrangement of the original desktop. This copy serves as a protective mechanism where operations are performed on the mirror desktop rather than the original, preventing loss or disorder of the original desktop content while maintaining simple management procedures.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different kinds of application programs or operating systems are installed on the user machine, then the functionality of the user machine is enhanced, but the desktop becomes confused and disordered
Solution Approach 1:
The mirror desktop creates a stable copy of the original desktop's icon arrangement. When multiple applications or operating systems are installed, the mirror desktop maintains the original organized structure, preventing the confusion and disorder that would otherwise affect the desktop composition.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the desktop icons of the mirror desktop are adjusted to match the operation object desktop, then the mirror desktop provides personalized functionality, but the original arrangement mode of the operation object desktop may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a mirror desktop that copies the original desktop's icons and arrangement. Adjustments are made to the mirror desktop's display arrangement rather than directly modifying the original desktop, allowing personalized functionality while preserving the original desktop's composition and structure.
