Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual reworking is performed to change binaries in electronic devices, then binary changes can be achieved, but time consumption and work cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical reworking with an automated system that uses communication modules and processors to remotely change binaries. The system server communicates with the electronic device through network connections, transmitting binary data and control signals to automatically update the device's software without physical intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device is equipped with a communication module and processor that enable it to autonomously receive and apply binary changes from the system server. The device can self-manage the binary update process, including receiving change information, validating it, and implementing the changes without requiring external manual reworking.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual reworking is performed to change binaries in electronic devices, then binary changes can be achieved, but work cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical reworking with an automated system that uses communication modules and processors to remotely change binaries. The system server communicates with the electronic device through network connections, transmitting binary data and control signals to automatically update the device's software without physical intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system server provides a universal platform that can change binaries in multiple electronic devices through a single automated interface. This multi-functional system can handle various device types and binary formats, eliminating the need for device-specific manual reworking processes and reducing overall work costs.
3Reliability
If electronic devices are fixed with specific operator's software, then initial functionality is ensured, but usability as used terminals deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic binary management system where the device's software configuration can change over time. Initially, the device is fixed with operator-specific software for reliability, but later it can dynamically adapt to different binaries through the automated change system, enabling it to function as a versatile used terminal for different operators or purposes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the binary parameters of the electronic device to transform its software configuration. By modifying the binary data that defines the device's operational characteristics, the device can transition from being fixed to a specific operator's software to becoming adaptable to different operators or uses, while maintaining initial functionality through controlled parameter changes.
