Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If log files are recorded in a scattered and disordered manner, then data collection is simple, but management efficiency and data relevance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanagement efficiencyVSAvoidlog management system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments log files into two distinct categories: running logs (system operation status, hardware parameters) and operation logs (treatment procedures, clinical data). Each type is stored in separate log files with dedicated classification standards, transforming the scattered disordered management into a structured segmented system that improves management efficiency without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of classification by creating a dual-log system with different classification dimensions. Running logs are classified by system components and parameters, while operation logs are classified by treatment stages and clinical parameters. This dimensional differentiation resolves the contradiction by organizing data along multiple axes rather than a single flat structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If log files are classified and managed systematically, then management efficiency improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelog file accessibilityVSAvoidclassification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by establishing classification standards and log file templates before actual logging occurs. The system pre-defines categories, data structures, and storage formats for both running and operation logs. This preliminary structuring makes subsequent log management easier without requiring complex real-time processing, as the classification framework is already in place

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs automatic classification mechanisms that self-categorize log data based on pre-configured rules. The computer device automatically identifies and sorts running logs versus operation logs, and further subclassifies them according to their content characteristics. This self-service classification reduces manual intervention complexity while maintaining high ease of operation for data retrieval

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If periodic analysis is performed on log files, then maintenance and operational efficiency improve, but data processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational efficiencyVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by scheduling log file analysis at predetermined intervals rather than continuously. The system analyzes running logs and operation logs at specified time points (e.g., after treatment sessions, at scheduled maintenance intervals). This periodic approach maintains operational efficiency by providing timely insights while avoiding the continuous processing overhead that would cause excessive time loss

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by selectively analyzing only the necessary portions of log files based on the analysis purpose. For maintenance efficiency, it focuses on running logs related to system health parameters; for operational efficiency, it prioritizes operation logs containing treatment outcome data. This selective partial analysis reduces overall processing time while maintaining the productivity benefits of comprehensive monitoring

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
