Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If screen settings are customized on each device individually, then user customization is improved, but interoperability and ease of sharing across devices deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of screen setting information (including UI configuration data, layout parameters, and style information) that can be replicated across different electronic devices. This allows the customized settings from one device to be copied and applied to another device, enabling interoperability while preserving user customization preferences.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that facilitates the sharing process. The server receives screen setting information from a first electronic device, stores it, and transmits it to a second electronic device. This intermediary enables seamless sharing across devices without requiring direct peer-to-peer connection, improving ease of operation.
2Manufacturing precision
If screen settings are manually configured on each device, then customization precision is improved, but time consumption for setup and synchronization increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by capturing and storing complete screen setting information (including UI configuration, layout parameters, and style data) from the first electronic device before sharing. This pre-prepared setting data can be directly applied to the second device without requiring manual reconfiguration, thus maintaining customization precision while significantly reducing setup time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent copies the complete screen setting information package (including all configuration parameters and UI elements) from the first device and transfers it to the second device. This copying approach preserves the exact customization details while eliminating the need for manual reconfiguration, thereby reducing time consumption.
3Loss of information
If screen settings are shared through complex data formats, then information completeness is improved, but ease of transmission and processing deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a server as an intermediary that handles the data formatting and transmission process. The server receives screen setting information, formats it into a standardized transmission structure, and sends it to the target device. This intermediary approach maintains information completeness while simplifying the transmission process through standardized protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the screen setting information into a standardized data format with specific parameters (including setting type, value, and metadata) that are optimized for transmission. This parameter standardization maintains the completeness of screen setting information while improving ease of transmission and processing across different devices.
