Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If hardware and software components are used in computer systems, then system functionality is achieved, but hardware degradation and software obsolescence occur over time leading to functional impairment

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem functionalityVSAvoidcomponent lifespan

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary evaluation of hardware and software components to identify potential failures before they occur. The analysis system assesses component health, predicts degradation trends, and initiates maintenance actions proactively, preventing functional impairment before it happens.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors component performance and feeds this information back to the analysis system. This feedback loop enables real-time assessment of hardware degradation and software obsolescence, allowing the system to adapt maintenance strategies based on actual component conditions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of repair

If IT departments or third-party providers service systems, then maintenance is performed, but knowledge requirements exceed their abilities leading to improper functionality

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemaintenance capabilityVSAvoidsystem operation

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of repairVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The analysis system enables systems to evaluate and assess their own components autonomously. By implementing self-diagnostic and self-assessment capabilities, the system reduces dependence on external IT personnel, allowing the system to identify and address its own maintenance needs without requiring specialized external knowledge.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces human expert judgment with an automated analysis system that uses algorithms and data processing to evaluate component health. This substitution of mechanical/human assessment with automated computational analysis eliminates the knowledge gap between maintenance personnel capabilities and system complexity requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If systems are connected to networks, then communication and data exchange are enabled, but vulnerability to cyber-attacks increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork connectivityVSAvoidcyber-attack vulnerability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The analysis system performs preliminary security assessments by evaluating system components and configurations before cyber-attacks can exploit vulnerabilities. It identifies security weaknesses in advance, allowing preventive measures to be implemented, such as patching software or reconfiguring security settings, thereby protecting the system while maintaining network connectivity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

4Reliability

If comprehensive system evaluation is performed, then system health and security are improved, but evaluation time and resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem evaluation accuracyVSAvoidevaluation duration

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The analysis system divides comprehensive system evaluation into smaller, manageable segments focusing on specific components, functions, or risk areas. Rather than evaluating the entire system uniformly, it segments the assessment based on criticality, allowing prioritized evaluation of high-risk areas while reducing overall evaluation time and resource requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation
