Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If QR codes are used to encode information, then data capacity per unit area is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to requiring technical knowledge for setup and use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the QR code and the user. The server stores information about the QR code and provides data requests, eliminating the need for users to directly manage or configure QR codes. Users simply scan the code and receive information from the server, significantly improving ease of operation while maintaining high data capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The QR code system performs self-service through automatic data retrieval. When a user scans the QR code, the system automatically checks if the code is active and sends the associated information without requiring user intervention for setup or configuration. This automation maintains data capacity while making the system user-friendly.
2Reliability
If QR codes require technical knowledge for setup and use, then system reliability is improved through proper configuration, but device complexity increases for the user
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as a mediator that handles all complex configuration and reliability management tasks. Users interact only with the simple scanning process, while the server manages QR code activation status, data storage, and transmission protocols, maintaining system reliability without increasing user-side complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts all complex technical configuration requirements from the user-side and places them on the server-side. Users only need to perform the simple action of scanning, while the server handles activation checks, data management, and communication protocols, effectively removing complexity from the user experience.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users manually assign data to QR codes, then adaptability is improved, but loss of time increases due to manual configuration requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The server pre-configures and stores information about QR codes before users need them. When a user scans a QR code, the data is already prepared and associated with the code in the server's memory, eliminating manual assignment time while maintaining the ability to customize QR code data as needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the server automatically responds to user scanning actions by sending the pre-stored information. This automated feedback loop eliminates manual data assignment and configuration time, while the system remains adaptable to different data types and use cases through the server's flexible data storage capabilities.
