Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If multiple operation interfaces are used for different information processing tasks, then the functionality is complete, but the operation complexity increases and information processing speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation complexityVSAvoidinformation processing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges components from the recording application program into the first application program, allowing multiple functions to be accessed through a single operation interface. This integration eliminates the need to switch between multiple interfaces, thereby reducing operation complexity and improving information processing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The first application program is enhanced to include components that enable it to perform both its original functions and recording functions. This multi-functionality allows users to access diverse information processing capabilities through a unified interface, simplifying operations and accelerating information processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If multiple operation interfaces are required for different processing tasks, then task specialization is achieved, but the number of operating steps increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of operating stepsVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By integrating components of the recording application program into the first application program, the patent reduces the number of separate interfaces users must navigate. This merging of functional components into a single interface decreases the number of operating steps required while maintaining task specialization through modular component design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If a separate user interaction interface is started for information collection, then data collection accuracy is ensured, but the information processing speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation processing speedVSAvoiddata collection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates data collection components directly into the first application program, allowing information to be collected and processed within the same interface. This eliminates the time-consuming step of switching to a separate interface, thereby improving information processing speed while maintaining data collection accuracy through the preserved functional integrity of the collection components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The disclosure provides an information processing method and an electronic device. The electronic device generates M components to be embedded into a first application program when installing a recording application program, M is an integer greater than or equal to 1. There is an association relationship between the M components and the recording application program. In a case where the M components are embedded into the first application program, the method includes: when the first application program runs, displaying a first graphical interface corresponding to the first application program by the electronic device, the first graphical interface including the M components; obtaining a first triggering operation for a first component of the M components; collecting, in response to the first triggering operation, first data content under the first graphical interface directly; and storing the collected first data content.
