1Ease of operation

If existing optimization tools are used, then optimization results can be obtained, but it is difficult to easily adjust and verify conditions for optimizing events and validate the objective function

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of adjusting and verifying optimization conditionsVSAvoidcomplexity of optimization tool mechanism

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically recalculates optimization results when parameters are changed, without requiring manual re-execution of the entire optimization process. The change reception unit detects parameter modifications and triggers automatic recalculation, allowing users to easily verify condition changes while the system handles the complex recalculation work autonomously

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides immediate feedback by displaying updated optimization results after parameter changes. The optimization result display unit shows both the changed parameters and their impact on optimization outcomes, enabling users to verify whether the objective function is valid and conditions are properly adjusted through direct observation of result changes

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If manual verification of objective function validity is performed, then optimization accuracy can be ensured, but time-consuming trial and error processes are required

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevalidity verification of objective functionVSAvoidtime for trial and error on objective function

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary recalculation of optimization results automatically when parameters are changed, before user verification is needed. By pre-computing the updated results and displaying them immediately, the system eliminates the need for time-consuming manual trial and error verification while ensuring reliability through automated calculation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The optimization calculation continues automatically after parameter changes without interruption. The system maintains continuous optimization capability by immediately recalculating and updating results, eliminating idle time between parameter adjustment and verification while ensuring the objective function remains valid throughout the process

Inventive Principle:

Principle #20Continuity of useful action
