Modular Software Package Installation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computer program installation methods require extensive user knowledge and are time-consuming, as they demand detailed selection of each function during customization, making it difficult for users without technical expertise to set up a customized program efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A method that divides the computer program into modular packages, including a core package and additional packages, allowing users to select functional subunits easily, enabling customization without requiring in-depth knowledge of the program, with options for package relations and conflict resolution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a computer program is divided into multiple packages for storage, then the program can be stored on available carrier space, but the installation process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The computer program is divided into multiple packages that can be stored on different carriers. Each package contains specific program components, allowing flexible storage utilization while maintaining organized structure for easier installation management.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating installation sequences and resolving package dependencies before installation begins. This pre-processing eliminates the need for users to manually manage complex multi-package installation procedures.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a user customizes a computer program installation by selecting individual functions, then the program can be tailored to user needs, but the setup process requires profound technical knowledge and extensive time
Solution Approach 1:
The computer program is segmented into functional packages that represent complete, coherent功能 units. Users select entire packages rather than individual functions, reducing the complexity of customization while maintaining the ability to tailor the installation to specific needs.
Solution Approach 2:
Each package is designed to be universally applicable and self-contained, representing a complete functional unit that can be independently selected. This multi-functionality approach allows users to customize installations without needing deep technical knowledge of individual program components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If detailed customization options are provided during installation, then users can create a tailored program configuration, but the installation time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of package dependencies and compatibility relationships before installation begins. This pre-processing automatically determines the optimal installation sequence and resolves conflicts in advance, allowing users to quickly select packages without worrying about time-consuming configuration details.
Solution Approach 2:
By segmenting the program into pre-defined functional packages, the system reduces the number of individual configuration decisions users must make. Each package represents a cohesive functional unit that can be selected as a whole, significantly reducing installation time while maintaining configuration flexibility.
