Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional methods are used for shareholder tender election, then the system structure is simple, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to lack of user-friendliness and customization options

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser-friendlinessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into multiple dashboard configurations (first dashboard for event information, second dashboard for election settings, third dashboard for results visualization) that can be selectively presented to different users based on their needs and roles. This segmentation allows the complex system to be broken down into manageable, user-friendly components while maintaining overall functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts its interface and functionality based on user input and election parameters. Dashboard configurations are customized in real-time based on election settings, user preferences, and progression through the election process, making the system flexible and responsive rather than static and rigid.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional systems are used, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability deteriorates due to limited customization options for election settings

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization flexibilityVSAvoidsystem configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The dashboard configuration system serves multiple functions: it presents information to shareholders, collects election inputs, validates responses, and visualizes results. The same configurable dashboard infrastructure adapts to different election types, user roles, and presentation needs, making the system universally applicable rather than requiring separate systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system allows dynamic modification of election parameters including multiplier values, voting thresholds, deadline settings, and dashboard presentation options. These parameters can be changed during configuration and adjusted based on election progression, enabling high adaptability while maintaining a unified system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If textual or tabular formats are used for election results, then the information completeness is high, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to cumbersome interpretation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresults interpretabilityVSAvoidpattern recognition capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms one-dimensional textual or tabular election results into two-dimensional visual representations including graphs, charts, and graphical displays. This dimensional transformation enables stakeholders to quickly grasp election outcomes, trends, and patterns that would be difficult to discern from raw data, while the underlying complete information remains available in structured formats.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

4Loss of information

If real-time visualization is implemented, then the information accessibility improves, but the use of energy increases due to continuous data processing and display updates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The real-time visualization system updates dashboard configurations and graphical displays at periodic intervals or triggered by specific events rather than continuously. This periodic refresh approach maintains information accessibility and timeliness while significantly reducing computational energy consumption compared to continuous real-time processing and rendering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
