Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If online software platforms process computations and make determinations for clients, then service functionality is provided, but resource consumption and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice functionalityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of resource handling by introducing handling settings that modify how resources are processed. Resources are selectively added or excluded from computations based on these settings, allowing the system to adjust processing requirements dynamically while maintaining service functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of processing all resources uniformly, the system applies partial action by selectively adding or excluding specific resources from computations based on handling settings. This allows the system to provide necessary service functionality while reducing overall resource consumption by not processing all available resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Adaptability or versatility

If resources are produced and transmitted to ERP applications, then integration is achieved, but processing and data transmission requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration capabilityVSAvoidprocessing requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system modifies the parameters of resource handling by using handling settings to control which resources are added to computations. This selective approach maintains integration capability with ERP applications while reducing the complexity of processing requirements by not handling all resources uniformly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments resource processing by introducing handling settings that divide resource handling into selective additions and exclusions. This segmentation allows the system to maintain integration functionality while reducing overall processing complexity by handling only necessary resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Use of energy by moving object

If handling settings are implemented to selectively add resources, then resource efficiency is improved, but system configuration complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system addresses configuration complexity by changing the parameter of resource handling through handling settings. These settings provide a structured way to control resource selection, making the configuration process more manageable while achieving improved resource efficiency through selective processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

In embodiments, in processes that can be repeated numerous times, relationship instance data is inputted, of relationship instances between primary entities and secondary entities. For a relationship instance, an outbound dataset is constructed that has dataset parameters with respective dataset values. One of the dataset values characterizes an attribute of one of the entities, and another encodes a base value for the relationship instance data. The outbound dataset is transmitted across a network to an Online Software Platform (OSP) computer system. The OSP computer system produces, according to digital rules, two or more resources for the dataset, and an inbound dataset is returned with the results, for forwarding to an output device. Handling settings are also inputted by a UI. Depending on the handling settings, one of the resources is added, or not, to the base value for a user as part of forwarded results.
