Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If apparatus configuration images are structured and processed for each application execution, then each application can display customized configuration information, but the processing load increases and consistency across applications deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by structuring the apparatus configuration image data in advance during system initialization or when configuration changes occur, rather than processing it for each application execution. The structured data is stored and reused by multiple applications, eliminating redundant processing while maintaining the ability to display customized configuration information across different applications.
2Adaptability or versatility
If apparatus configuration images are processed individually for each application, then specific display options can be tailored, but processing time increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary structuring of apparatus configuration image data in advance, storing it in a reusable format. When applications need to display configuration information, they retrieve the pre-structured data and apply their specific display options, rather than processing the raw configuration data from scratch. This significantly improves processing efficiency while maintaining application-specific customization capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal structured data representation of the apparatus configuration that can be served to multiple different applications. This single structured data source serves multiple functions across different applications, each of which can then apply their own display preferences, thereby improving overall system productivity without sacrificing adaptability.
3Stability of the object's composition
If configuration images are regenerated for each application, then display consistency across applications is maintained, but resource utilization becomes inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system structures the apparatus configuration image data in advance and stores it as a reusable resource. Multiple applications retrieve and use this pre-structured data, ensuring display consistency across applications while avoiding the waste of regenerating the same configuration data repeatedly. This significantly improves resource utilization by eliminating redundant processing.

AI summary
An information processing system includes a first device and a second device that allows a user to operate the first device via the second device. The information processing system includes a processor and a memory to store a plurality of instructions. When executed by the processor, the plurality of instructions cause the processor to store, in the memory, apparatus configuration image element information regarding one or more elements of an apparatus configuration image of the first device, structure the apparatus configuration image using the apparatus configuration image element information, the apparatus configuration image indicating a configuration of the first device, and in response to execution of an application program on the second device, control a display to display an image based on the apparatus configuration image.
