Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional intelligent seals can only provide a single ink color and function, requiring multiple sealings for different functions, which is inconvenient and may cause discomfort with uniform ink colors.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent seal mold device with multifunctional areas, featuring a seal mold with multiple functional areas, a distributed ink tank, storage module, and selection module, allowing simultaneous presentation of multiple ink colors and functions, including electronic signatures, fingerprints, and corporate seals, with customizable ink colors and functional areas.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single conventional seal is used to provide multiple functions, then the device complexity is reduced, but the versatility is limited to a single ink color and function

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveink color varietyVSAvoidseal mold structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The seal mold is divided into multiple functional areas, each capable of presenting different ink colors and functions independently. This segmentation allows the seal to provide multiple ink colors (red, blue, black) and different functions (electronic signatures, fingerprints, corporate seals) within a single seal structure, resolving the contradiction between versatility and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The intelligent seal mold is designed as a universal device that can perform multiple functions simultaneously - it can present different ink colors, support various types of seals (personal, corporate, invoice), and accommodate multiple users. This multi-functionality approach allows a single seal device to replace multiple conventional seals, achieving high versatility without proportionally increasing device complexity.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple sealings are performed to invoke different functions, then the versatility is improved, but the loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction varietyVSAvoidsealing operation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple functional areas and ink colors are pre-configured within the seal mold before use. The system stores comparison tables and functional data for multiple users and functions in advance. When sealing is needed, the user can directly invoke the required function without performing multiple sequential sealings, thus reducing time loss while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple sealing operations that would traditionally be performed separately are merged into a single sealing action. The intelligent seal mold combines multiple functional areas and ink colors into one device, allowing the user to complete what would have been multiple sealings in a single operation, thereby reducing time loss while maintaining full functional versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Device complexity

If the same ink color is used for different functions, then the device complexity is reduced, but the user comfort deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveink color configurationVSAvoiduser impression
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Different functional areas of the seal mold are assigned different ink colors based on their specific function. For example, red ink is used for traditional seals, blue for electronic signatures, and black for fingerprints. This local differentiation of ink colors by functional area maintains device simplicity while significantly improving user comfort and avoiding the discomfort of uniform ink colors across different functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
