Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If browser applications are used to process search results, then the system is simple and compatible, but the information processing ability is insufficient and display effect is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to process search resultVSAvoidcomplexity of processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a native application call identifier as an intermediary mechanism. The search result includes a special identifier that triggers the mobile terminal to call a corresponding native application. This mediator enables the transition from browser-based processing to native application processing without requiring complete system replacement, thus improving processing capability while managing complexity through a standardized interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic processing by determining whether to use browser or native application based on the search result type. The system dynamically selects the appropriate processing pathway: standard results are handled by the browser, while results containing native application call identifiers are routed to corresponding native applications. This dynamic approach optimizes processing ability for different scenarios without requiring all results to use the more complex native application path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If browser applications are used to display search results, then the implementation is simple, but the display effect is not intuitive and user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of display implementationVSAvoidquality of display effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The native application call identifier serves as an intermediary that bridges the simple browser display mechanism and the high-quality native application display capability. When present in the search result, it activates the intermediary mechanism that routes the display task to the native application, thereby improving display quality while maintaining the simplicity of the overall system architecture through standardized routing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality enhancement by using native applications specifically for search result display where high visual quality and interactivity are needed, while keeping the browser for general web browsing and simple result presentation. This localized application of enhanced display capabilities improves user experience for search results without requiring the entire system to be complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If native applications are called to process search results, then the information processing ability is enhanced, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation processing abilityVSAvoidcomplexity of system architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal is designed with multi-functionality to handle both browser-based and native application-based processing. The system universally supports both pathways through a unified search result processing framework that automatically detects and routes to the appropriate handler. This universal design enables high information processing ability through native applications when needed, while maintaining system simplicity through standardized routing mechanisms for all cases.

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