Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a traditional stationary hotel structure is used, then construction is simple and cost-effective, but the hotel lacks uniqueness and excitement for travelers

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuniqueness of hotel experienceVSAvoidstructural complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the traditional stationary hotel structure into a mobile, rotating framework resembling a Ferris wheel. The living quarters are mounted on a rotating framework that can move around a central axis, creating a dynamic structure that provides unique viewing experiences and novelty for travelers while maintaining hotel functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a mobile rotating framework is implemented, then the hotel provides unique experiences and novel environments, but the structural complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenovelty of lodging experienceVSAvoidmanufacturing ease

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the hotel into modular living quarters that are independently mounted on the rotating framework. Each living quarter can be separately manufactured and then assembled onto the framework, simplifying the manufacturing process while maintaining the overall mobile and novel structure of the hotel.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If living quarters are mounted on a rotating framework, then the hotel becomes mobile and unique, but the complexity of providing access to living quarters increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemobility of hotel structureVSAvoidaccessibility to living quarters

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the intermediary principle by introducing access tunnels that extend from the base structure to the living quarters at various elevations. These tunnels serve as intermediaries that facilitate easy access to the rotating living quarters, bridging the gap between the stationary base and the moving accommodation units.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
