Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If dedicated software is separately generated for each purpose, then software can be customized for specific measurement objectives, but efficiency of generating the software is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesoftware customization for specific purposesVSAvoidefficiency of software generation

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a unified software platform that can perform multiple measurement purposes (chlorophyll concentration measurement, phytoplankton abundance measurement, etc.) through a single system. The software includes common functional modules such as data acquisition, processing, and analysis that can be configured for different measurement objectives, eliminating the need to develop separate dedicated software for each purpose while maintaining customization capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If dedicated software is developed for each measurement purpose, then measurement accuracy can be optimized for specific objectives, but development time and resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemeasurement accuracy for specific objectivesVSAvoidsoftware development time

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-establishes a software platform with comprehensive functional modules and algorithms for common measurement tasks. The system includes pre-configured data processing pipelines, analysis methods, and measurement protocols that can be directly applied or slightly adjusted for different measurement purposes, significantly reducing development time while maintaining measurement accuracy through proven algorithms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The software is divided into independent functional modules (data acquisition module, processing module, analysis module, etc.) that can be selectively configured and combined for different measurement purposes. This modular architecture allows users to assemble appropriate measurement solutions without developing entire software systems from scratch, reducing development time while preserving measurement precision through specialized modules.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation
