Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the mobile terminal maintains and updates user information across all categories, then personalized service quality is improved, but the complexity of information management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized service qualityVSAvoidinformation management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments user information into hierarchical categories (first category, second category, etc.) with sub-categories. This segmentation allows the system to manage vast amounts of user information in organized, manageable units, reducing the complexity of maintaining and updating information across all categories while still enabling comprehensive personalized services.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a hierarchical dimension to information organization, moving from flat category structures to multi-level hierarchies with parent-child relationships. This dimensional change enables efficient navigation and management of user information by providing structured pathways through the data, reducing management complexity while maintaining service quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If the mobile terminal stores comprehensive hierarchical information, then information retrieval accuracy is improved, but the memory requirements and data structure complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation retrieval accuracyVSAvoiddata storage requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting information into hierarchical categories and sub-categories, the system retrieves only relevant portions of user information needed for specific personalized services. This segmentation reduces the quantity of data that must be processed and stored while maintaining retrieval accuracy, as the hierarchical structure enables precise targeting of relevant information subsets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary organization of user information into hierarchical categories before retrieval operations. This preliminary structuring enables efficient querying and reduces the actual data volume that needs to be accessed during service delivery, optimizing both storage efficiency and retrieval accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the mobile terminal implements automated learning and categorization, then user service personalization is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice personalizationVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The learning data unit performs automated learning and categorization of user information in advance, before personalized services are delivered. This preliminary action pre-processes and organizes user data into hierarchical categories, so that when services are requested, the system can quickly retrieve pre-categorized information rather than processing raw data in real-time, reducing processing time while maintaining personalization quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service learning mechanisms where the learning data unit automatically acquires, analyzes, and categorizes user information without requiring manual intervention. This automated self-service approach continuously improves personalization capabilities while operating in the background, minimizing impact on user-perceived processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
