Solution Overview

Problem

Sales representatives face difficulties in editing PDF materials due to the complexity of the format, leading to increased effort and data volume, and inefficient explanations due to screen transitions during presentations.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal device with a display system that allows independent storage and arbitrary combination of slide information, enabling easy editing and seamless transitions between main explanatory and relevant slide information, reducing data storage and minimizing unnecessary intervals during explanations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If materials are created in PDF format for easy viewing, then document compatibility is improved, but editing difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedocument compatibilityVSAvoidediting difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The PDF document is segmented into individual slide units that can be independently managed. Each slide can be viewed in its original PDF format for compatibility, but can also be individually selected, edited, and rearranged without requiring full document editing capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A slide management system acts as an intermediary between the PDF format and the user. This system allows users to select and arrange slides without directly editing the PDF format, thus maintaining document compatibility while simplifying the editing operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If slides are created that do not require editing, then ease of operation is improved, but data volume increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting requirementVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of providing complete pre-edited slide decks for every possible scenario, the system provides a library of individual slide units. Users perform partial actions by selecting only the slides they need for their specific presentation, reducing overall data volume while maintaining ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

A single slide unit can serve multiple purposes and be used in different contexts. The same slide can be included in various presentation sequences for different customers or products, reducing the need to create and store multiple copies of similar content

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If screen transitions are made during explanation, then relevant literature can be shown, but explanation continuity is disrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliterature display capabilityVSAvoidexplanation interruption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Relevant literature slides are pre-associated with their corresponding main explanatory slides. The system prepares and stores the relationship between main slides and literature slides in advance, enabling seamless transitions without requiring manual navigation or causing explanation interruptions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The slide management system maintains continuous presentation flow by automatically managing transitions between main slides and literature slides. The association between slides ensures that the explanation continues smoothly without unnecessary intervals, as the system handles the transitions seamlessly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
