Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If existing task scheduling methods are used without classification, then the system is simple to operate, but resource distribution becomes uneven and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by classifying health tasks into different types (mobile diagnosis and treatment tasks, intelligent health tasks) based on real-time requirements. This classification enables differentiated resource allocation strategies, where real-time tasks receive priority scheduling and non-real-time tasks use standard scheduling, thereby improving overall resource utilization efficiency without overwhelming system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic resource scheduling by adjusting scheduling strategies based on task characteristics. The system dynamically identifies task priorities and allocates resources accordingly, allowing the scheduling mechanism to adapt to different task types and real-time requirements, thus improving productivity while maintaining manageable complexity through rule-based dynamics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If existing task scheduling methods focus only on process results, then the scheduling process is simple, but real-time monitoring cannot be achieved leading to resource waste

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice qualityVSAvoidmonitoring complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through task evaluation units that continuously assess task execution status and resource usage. This feedback enables real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of scheduling decisions, ensuring service quality and preventing resource waste by identifying and addressing abnormal interruptions promptly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing evaluation criteria and monitoring protocols in advance for different task types. This preparatory framework enables automated real-time monitoring without requiring complex ad-hoc decision-making, improving reliability through pre-defined response mechanisms while keeping monitoring complexity manageable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
