Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional native compilation techniques are used, then the application can be compiled into a native executable, but the process lacks flexibility to customize the application at a later date
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the application customization process into distinct phases: initial native compilation, runtime configuration detection, and post-compilation adaptation. This allows the application to be compiled once with base functionality, then customized at runtime without recompilation, resolving the contradiction between compilation simplicity and customization flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by embedding configuration detection capabilities and adaptation mechanisms into the application during initial compilation. The application pre-prepares itself to detect configuration differences and automatically adapt, enabling later customization without complex external tools or procedures.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the application is modified to support multiple configurations, then adaptability to different target systems improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by creating a single application binary that can adapt to multiple target system configurations. The application contains universal adaptation logic that detects the target environment and configures itself accordingly, eliminating the need for separate compiled versions for different platforms while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The application performs self-service by automatically detecting configuration differences between the development environment and target system, then self-modifying to adapt to the target configuration. This self-adaptation capability reduces the need for complex external configuration tools and manual intervention, managing complexity internally while maintaining high adaptability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If configuration differences are analyzed and patterns are applied to modify the application, then the application can adapt to different environments, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by analyzing only the critical configuration differences necessary for basic adaptation, rather than performing exhaustive analysis of all possible configuration variations. This selective approach enables sufficient environmental adaptation with reduced processing time, accepting that not all configuration aspects need complete optimization.
Data Source
AI summary
A system includes a memory a processor. The processor is in communication with the memory. The processor is configured to receive an application, where the application was modified into a second configuration from a first configuration. Next, the processor determines differences in the application between the second configuration and the first configuration. A database is accessed, which includes a set of known potential modifications to the application and a set of patterns. The functionality of the known potential modifications is dependent on at least one of the set of patterns. The differences are analyzed to determine which of the set of patterns to include in the application, where the differences includes at least one of the set of known potential modifications in the application. The processor is configured to modify the application with the at least one of the set of patterns.
