Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If user-generated content is statically provided without analysis, then the system complexity is low, but the product information extraction capability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct information extractionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A machine learning model is introduced as an intermediary between the user-generated video content and the product information extraction process. The model automatically analyzes video frames to detect products, extract surface textures, and generate three-dimensional representations, thereby resolving the contradiction by enabling sophisticated information extraction without requiring complex manual processing systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing the machine learning model to autonomously process video content, detect products, and extract information without human intervention. This automated approach maintains low operational complexity while achieving high information extraction capability through intelligent algorithms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional static content delivery is used, then the ease of operation is high, but the customized product information delivery is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomized product information deliveryVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static content delivery to dynamic, adaptive content delivery by using machine learning models that automatically analyze video content and generate customized product information. The system dynamically adjusts the extracted and delivered information based on the analyzed video data, achieving versatility without requiring complex manual customization operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Loss of information

If detailed product analysis is performed in real-time, then the product data accessibility is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct data accessibilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing video content to detect products and extract surface textures before final three-dimensional representation generation. This staged approach allows real-time product data accessibility by preparing data incrementally, reducing the time required for complete analysis while maintaining comprehensive product information extraction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
