Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If surgery execution time and movement mode are monitored using cameras, then cost balance can be calculated and displayed, but it remains difficult to specify which particular work is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the overall surgery process into discrete work items or tasks. Each work item is individually tracked and evaluated, allowing the system to identify which specific task is delayed rather than just showing overall surgery timing. This segmentation enables precise localization of efficiency problems in surgical workflows.
2Productivity
If comprehensive surgery data is collected and analyzed, then work efficiency can be improved, but the complexity of data processing and evaluation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where evaluation results are automatically provided back to the surgery team. The system calculates evaluation values based on collected surgery data and presents them in a comprehensible format, enabling continuous improvement of surgical workflows through iterative optimization based on measured performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary evaluation system that processes raw surgery data and transforms it into meaningful evaluation metrics. This intermediary layer includes algorithms that automatically analyze work items, compare them against standards, and generate interpretable results, reducing the complexity burden on users while maintaining comprehensive data analysis.
3Measurement precision
If detailed evaluation metrics are calculated for surgery cases, then specific inefficiencies can be identified, but the time and computational resources required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary organization and categorization of surgery data during the surgery process itself. Work items are pre-tagged and structured in advance, allowing for rapid evaluation when needed. This preliminary preparation reduces the time required for detailed analysis while maintaining high measurement precision.
