Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If users download media content through traditional network methods, then they can access media content, but they consume significant data traffic which is inefficient and costly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata traffic consumptionVSAvoidmedia content access convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces near field communication as an intermediary transmission channel between terminal devices. Instead of directly downloading media content through traditional network methods, the system uses near field communication connections as a mediator to transfer cached media content between devices, thereby reducing data traffic consumption while maintaining access convenience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a copying mechanism where media content cached on one terminal device is copied to another terminal device through near field communication. This allows users to access media content on multiple devices without re-downloading, thus reducing overall data traffic consumption while maintaining ease of access

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Loss of energy

If users cache media content locally, then they can view content without data usage, but the content can only be viewed on that specific device

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata traffic consumptionVSAvoidcross-device content accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the media content caching system universal across multiple terminal devices. By enabling near field communication between devices, a single cache on one device becomes accessible from multiple devices, thus achieving cross-device content accessibility while maintaining the data-saving benefit of local caching

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

Solution Approach 2:

Near field communication serves as an intermediary mechanism that bridges the gap between local caching and cross-device accessibility. It enables the transfer of cached content between devices without requiring traditional network downloads, thus maintaining data efficiency while achieving versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional network methods are used for content sharing, then content can be transferred between users, but significant data traffic is consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sharing capabilityVSAvoiddata traffic consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional network-based content sharing with near field communication as an intermediary transmission method. This allows content to be shared between users through direct device-to-device communication, eliminating the need for content to traverse the traditional network infrastructure and thus reducing data traffic consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a copying-based content sharing mechanism where media content is copied from one terminal device to another through near field communication. This copying approach allows content sharing without traditional network downloads, reducing data traffic consumption while maintaining sharing capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A method for content interaction is provided. The method include establishing, at a first terminal device corresponding to a first user of an application, a near field communication connection between the first terminal device and a second terminal device corresponding to a second user of the application in response to a detection of a content transfer request for the second user; presenting a content transfer panel, the content transfer panel presenting a media content list cached by the application at the first terminal device; and transmitting one or more items of media content from the first terminal device to the second terminal device via the near field communication connection in response to receiving a selection of the one or more items of media content in the media content list.
