Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If individual application programs are developed for each mobile device to ensure correct data presentation, then data presentation accuracy is improved, but development time and resource consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates virtual copies (emulators) of mobile devices that replicate the display characteristics, screen sizes, and resolutions of actual mobile devices. These emulators allow developers to test and verify data presentation accuracy across multiple device types simultaneously, eliminating the need to physically test on each device while maintaining high precision in data presentation verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent develops a universal testing platform that can emulate multiple different mobile device types with varying screen sizes and resolutions. This single platform performs the function of multiple device-specific testing environments, allowing one application program to be tested across all target devices through a unified interface, thereby reducing development time while maintaining presentation accuracy.
2Loss of energy
If generic tools are used as the basis for implementing data entry and data output applications, then resource wastage is reduced, but performance and functionality are insufficient due to the complexity of the tools
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential display-related functions and characteristics from complex mobile devices, creating simplified emulator models that focus specifically on screen size, resolution, and data presentation. This extraction allows the system to use lightweight generic testing tools rather than requiring full-featured mobile device software, reducing resource consumption while maintaining the ability to verify data presentation accuracy.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the application is tested on multiple physical mobile devices to ensure compatibility, then device compatibility is improved, but testing complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates virtual copies (emulators) of mobile devices that replicate the display characteristics, screen sizes, and resolutions of actual mobile devices. These emulators allow developers to test and verify data presentation accuracy across multiple device types simultaneously, eliminating the need to physically test on each device while maintaining high precision in data presentation verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the testing capabilities for multiple different mobile device types into a single unified emulator platform. Instead of managing separate testing processes for each device, the system combines all device emulations in one environment, allowing simultaneous testing across various screen sizes and resolutions, thereby reducing testing complexity and cost.
