Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If patient-controlled devices are used for remote medical examination, then device accessibility and ease of operation are improved, but measurement precision and diagnostic accuracy deteriorate due to lack of professional supervision

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidmeasurement precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a professional medical examiner as an intermediary who remotely operates and supervises the measurement devices. The examiner receives real-time data from sensors and provides professional guidance, ensuring accurate measurements while maintaining patient comfort and accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where the medical examiner receives real-time measurement data and provides immediate guidance or intervention. This feedback mechanism ensures that measurements are performed correctly and accurately, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If automated devices with artificial intelligence are used, then productivity and efficiency are improved, but reliability and diagnostic accuracy deteriorate due to lack of professional judgment

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveproductivityVSAvoidreliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs real-time feedback mechanisms where automated devices transmit data continuously to the medical examiner, who provides professional judgment and interpretation. This ensures that while automation increases productivity, human expertise maintains reliability and diagnostic accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system combines automated measurement devices with professional medical examination capabilities, creating a multi-functional platform that performs both automated data collection and professional clinical judgment, thereby achieving both productivity and reliability.

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

3Ease of operation

If remote examination platforms are implemented, then accessibility and convenience are improved, but loss of information may occur due to incomplete data collection

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveaccessibilityVSAvoidloss of information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses real-time feedback and continuous monitoring to ensure complete data collection during remote examinations. The medical examiner actively monitors and guides the examination process, preventing information loss while maintaining the accessibility and convenience of remote care.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous data collection and communication throughout the examination process, ensuring that no information is lost. The uninterrupted connection between the patient and medical examiner ensures complete and accurate data transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

4Measurement precision

If comprehensive clinical examination instruments are used, then measurement precision and diagnostic quality are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement precisionVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a professional medical examiner as an intermediary who manages and operates the complex examination instruments. This intermediary handles the device complexity while preserving measurement precision and diagnostic quality through expert operation and interpretation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements real-time feedback mechanisms that allow the medical examiner to monitor and adjust the operation of complex instruments, ensuring accurate measurements while managing device complexity through professional oversight and continuous optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
