Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing test devices require individual customization for each user based on specific polishing requirements, leading to increased manufacturing and setup costs, as well as limited flexibility in adjusting polishing settings.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that includes a processor and memory to set a polishing area and operation pattern for probes, and calculates a relative trajectory between the polishing member and probes, allowing for user-specific settings to be standardized and easily adjusted.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If individual customization is performed for each user based on specific polishing requirements, then polishing precision and user-specific performance are improved, but device complexity and manufacturing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic configurability where polishing parameters (area, pattern, trajectory) can be adjusted and stored as multiple sets corresponding to different users or requirements. The system dynamically selects and applies the appropriate parameter set based on user input, allowing customization without physical device modification. This resolves the contradiction by enabling precision customization through software-based dynamic parameters rather than hardware customization.
2Manufacturing precision
If individual customization is performed for each user, then polishing performance is improved, but work hours and setup time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-calculates and stores multiple sets of polishing parameters (area, pattern, trajectory) corresponding to different user requirements before actual polishing operations. When a user needs customization, they simply select from pre-prepared parameter sets rather than performing time-consuming setup procedures. This resolves the contradiction by performing the complex configuration work in advance, making subsequent customization instant and efficient.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates and stores copies of polishing parameter sets that can be reused across different polishing operations and users. Instead of recreating polishing configurations from scratch for each user, the system replicates and adapts pre-defined parameter sets, significantly reducing setup time while maintaining user-specific performance requirements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If flexible adjustment of polishing settings is enabled, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal parameter management system that handles multiple polishing configurations (area, pattern, trajectory) through a single integrated software framework. The system can store, retrieve, and apply different parameter sets for various users and polishing scenarios using the same hardware infrastructure, achieving high flexibility without proportionally increasing device complexity. The universal system accommodates diverse polishing requirements through software-based parameter variation rather than hardware multiplication.
