Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If module assembly information is shared and software is automatically generated, then ease of operation is improved for non-specialists, but device complexity increases due to the recommendation system infrastructure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a recommendation server as an intermediary between users and module assembly information. The server receives topology information from the fabricating tool, processes it to generate recommended source codes and assembly instructions, and returns them to the user. This intermediary handles the complexity of software generation and assembly guidance, making the process simple for end users while managing the underlying system complexity centrally.
Solution Approach 2:
The fabricating tool automatically generates topology information based on the assembled module configuration, and the recommendation server automatically generates and recommends source codes without requiring manual programming or configuration by users. The system serves itself by automatically processing assembly information and generating appropriate software, reducing the need for specialist intervention.
2Productivity
If automatic software generation is implemented, then productivity is improved by reducing manual programming, but loss of information increases due to the need to manage and transmit topology data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential topology information from the complex module assembly configuration. Instead of transmitting or processing the entire assembly detail, the system identifies and extracts key topological relationships that define the module connections and data flow. This extracted topology information is then used to generate source codes, reducing information loss while maintaining productivity.
3Ease of operation
If the system provides comprehensive assembly guidance and source code recommendations, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of time increases due to data processing and transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The recommendation server maintains a database of pre-processed module information, topology patterns, and source code templates. When a user assembles modules, the system performs preliminary matching against stored patterns rather than generating everything from scratch. This preliminary preparation of data and algorithms reduces the time required to provide comprehensive assembly guidance and source code recommendations.
