Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual setup of connections and configurations is performed, then flexibility and adaptability in network construction are improved, but errors occur leading to repetitive corrections and rework

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveflexibility in network constructionVSAvoiderror rate in network setup

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-verification by automatically executing communication confirmation programs on servers to detect incorrect settings. The servers themselves participate in verifying the network configuration, eliminating the need for external manual checking and reducing errors while maintaining flexibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by collecting execution results from communication confirmation programs and using this information to identify and correct incorrect settings. This closed-loop verification process ensures that manual configurations are automatically validated, reducing errors while preserving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If automated construction is performed, then productivity and efficiency are improved, but incorrect settings may be missed requiring later corrections

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork construction efficiencyVSAvoiddetection accuracy of incorrect settings

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification by executing communication confirmation programs during the network construction process itself, before the network is fully operational. This early detection of incorrect settings prevents later corrections and maintains high productivity while ensuring accurate configuration verification.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual verification methods with automated execution of communication confirmation programs. This substitution of mechanical/manual checking with automated software-based verification improves both productivity and detection accuracy, as the automated system can systematically check all configurations without human error or oversight.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If communication confirmation programs are executed on all servers, then detection accuracy of incorrect settings is improved, but system complexity and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedetection accuracy of incorrect settingsVSAvoidsystem complexity for program distribution and collection

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses a universal communication confirmation program that can be executed on any server in the network. This single program performs multiple functions: verifying network connectivity, detecting incorrect settings, and providing feedback. The universality of this approach improves detection accuracy across all servers without requiring different verification mechanisms for different system components.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
