Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple digital image versions are generated and transmitted for design variant reviews, then design review completeness is improved, but network resource consumption and memory usage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the design review data by separating the base digital image from its variants. Instead of transmitting complete image versions, only the differential data representing variant changes is transmitted. This segmentation allows reviewers to access all design variants while minimizing network resource consumption by sending only the essential change information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and transmits only the essential variant information (differences between base image and variants) rather than complete image versions. By taking out only the necessary differential data, the system maintains design review completeness while significantly reducing network resource consumption and memory usage.
2Reliability
If multiple digital image versions are stored for design variants, then design review completeness is improved, but memory usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments variant storage by maintaining a base digital image separately from its variants. Only the differential data representing variant changes is stored, not complete image versions. This segmentation dramatically reduces memory usage while preserving all design variant information for complete review.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and stores only the essential variant differences rather than complete image versions. By storing only the necessary differential data, the system maintains full design review capability while minimizing memory consumption.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple interfaces are provided for variant review, then design review functionality is improved, but user interaction complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple variant review interfaces into a single unified interface. This single interface displays the base digital image along with all its variants, allowing reviewers to access and compare all design options without navigating through multiple separate interfaces. The merging reduces user interaction complexity while maintaining comprehensive design review functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The single unified interface serves multiple functions: displaying the base image, showing all variants, enabling variant selection, and facilitating approval workflows. This multi-functional interface eliminates the need for separate interfaces for each review task, reducing complexity while maintaining versatility.
4Measurement precision
If complete digital image versions are transmitted for each variant, then design review accuracy is improved, but network bandwidth consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only the essential differential data that represents variant changes from the base image. This extracted differential information is sufficient for accurate design review, as reviewers can apply these differences to the base image to view complete variants. The approach maintains design review accuracy while dramatically reducing network bandwidth consumption compared to transmitting complete image versions.
