Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing health management systems provide general health guidelines, then the guidelines are easy to obtain, but they fail to reflect individual characteristics and provide inadequate personalized protection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization of health guidelinesVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes parameters by measuring antioxidant component concentration levels and matching them with personal information parameters (age, gender, lifestyle factors) to generate personalized guidelines. This transforms generic guidelines into customized recommendations based on individual biological and behavioral parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically collecting personal information, measuring antioxidant levels, and generating personalized guidelines without requiring manual input or professional intervention. The electronic device autonomously processes data and provides tailored health recommendations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If the system collects and processes personal information to provide personalized guidelines, then the accuracy of health recommendations improves, but the complexity of information processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of antioxidant concentration measurementVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic device performs multiple functions including measuring antioxidant components, collecting personal information from various sources, processing data through algorithms, and generating personalized guidelines. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate systems into a single integrated device.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses an intermediary processing layer that automatically bridges the measurement data and personal information, using algorithms to integrate these data types and generate recommendations. This intermediary layer simplifies the complexity by automating the integration process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides detailed personalized health guidelines, then the usefulness for individual health management improves, but the amount of information processed and displayed increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetailoring of health recommendationsVSAvoidinformation processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by providing specific, targeted recommendations based on individual antioxidant levels and personal characteristics rather than generic advice. Each guideline is customized to the individual's specific needs, optimizing the information provided for maximum relevance while avoiding unnecessary data processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
