Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If game data files are downloaded through Internet communication networks, then users can access latest game content and updates, but data communication costs increase and infrastructure stability becomes critical
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a peer-to-peer communication mechanism where users act as intermediaries to share game data files directly with each other, eliminating the need for traditional Internet infrastructure and reducing data communication costs while maintaining access to game content
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates copies of game data files that can be shared between users through short-range wireless communication, allowing multiple users to access the same game content without requiring each user to download the full file through the Internet, thereby reducing overall data communication costs
2Adaptability or versatility
If game data files are downloaded through Internet communication networks, then users can receive game updates, but infrastructure stability becomes a constraint in poor communication environments
Solution Approach 1:
Users serve as intermediaries in a peer-to-peer network, sharing game updates directly with each other through short-range wireless communication, which eliminates dependence on unstable Internet infrastructure and ensures reliable game content updates in poor communication environments
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows users to pre-share and store game data files locally before needing updates, enabling seamless game content updates without requiring real-time Internet connectivity, thus improving reliability in unstable communication environments
3Adaptability or versatility
If users download all game data files to ensure complete functionality, then game content is fully accessible, but device capacity becomes insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments game data files into smaller, manageable units that can be selectively shared and stored on devices. Users can download and store only the specific game data segments they need rather than the complete game content, optimizing the use of limited device storage capacity while maintaining full game functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables partial downloading of game data files based on user needs and device capacity constraints. Users can selectively receive and store only the necessary game content segments required for specific gameplay scenarios, avoiding the need to store the entire game database and optimizing storage utilization
4Adaptability or versatility
If users receive all available game data files from others, then they can play all game versions, but data transmission time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides game data files into segmented versions and enables selective transmission based on the recipient's existing game version and requirements. Users only receive the specific segments needed to achieve compatibility or access new content, significantly reducing transmission time compared to transferring all available game data
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements partial file transmission by identifying and transferring only the necessary game data segments required for version compatibility or additional content, rather than transmitting all available game files. This selective approach optimizes transmission time while maintaining the ability to play various game versions
