1Loss of information

If real-time information from multiple semiconductor companies is collected and managed, then the completeness and accuracy of production information is improved, but the complexity of managing and organizing this information increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server segments production information into distinct categories (design parameters, manufacturing parameters, post-processing parameters, bottleneck components, proposal lists) and organizes them in a structured database. This segmentation allows comprehensive information collection while maintaining manageable organization through clear classification hierarchies and standardized data formats for each parameter type.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If manual management of semiconductor production requests and parameters is performed, then flexibility in handling complex queries is maintained, but the efficiency and speed of information processing decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The server implements automated self-service functionality by automatically classifying work types (design, manufacturing, post-processing), identifying bottleneck components, generating proposal lists, and matching production requests with appropriate semiconductor companies. This automation dramatically improves processing speed while maintaining ease of operation through user-friendly interfaces that require minimal manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical information processing with an automated server-based system that uses algorithms and data structures to classify, analyze, and generate production proposals. This substitution of automated computational mechanisms for manual processes enables high-speed processing while maintaining operational simplicity through standardized interfaces.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Productivity

If automated classification and proposal generation is implemented, then the efficiency of matching production requests with semiconductor companies is improved, but the complexity of the server system increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server is designed as a universal multi-functional platform that handles diverse semiconductor production requests (design, manufacturing, post-processing) through a single integrated system. It performs multiple functions including information collection, classification, bottleneck identification, proposal list generation, and company matching within one cohesive architecture, improving efficiency while managing complexity through standardized processing routines.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary between customer devices and multiple semiconductor companies, mediating the matching process by collecting requirements, analyzing compatibility, and generating coordinated proposal lists. This intermediary role simplifies the complex many-to-many matching problem into a structured process where the server manages the complexity internally while presenting simple interfaces to users.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A server includes an interface, a database and a proposal list generating circuit. The interface is connected to a customer device and user devices through a network and receives a production request of a product from the customer device and receives component parameter from the user devices, the component parameter each including a supportable specification of a component related to semiconductor production. The database stores the component parameter. The proposal list generating circuit classifies components for the production of the product indicated in the production request based on the supportable specification of the component parameter, determines one or more bottleneck components based on component parameter among the component parameter that match the classified components, and generates one or more proposal lists based on the one or more bottleneck components. The one or more proposal list is transmitted to the customer device through the interface.
