Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional task allocation methods are used, then the system is simpler to implement, but task allocation efficiency deteriorates due to numerous variables and uncertainties

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask allocation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system comprising a completion time constraint generator, projected completion time determiner, and optimal reallocation generator. These intermediary components mediate between the complex task variables/uncertainties and the final allocation decision, transforming raw data into actionable allocation recommendations without requiring the entire system to handle all complexity directly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical/manual task allocation methods with an automated computational system that uses processors to generate completion time constraints, determine projected completion times, and calculate optimal reallocations. This substitution of mechanical decision-making with computational algorithms improves efficiency while managing complexity through structured processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If task reallocation is performed without considering completion time constraints, then the allocation process is faster, but task completion reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask completion reliabilityVSAvoidallocation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by generating completion time constraints and determining projected completion times before performing task reallocation. This preliminary analysis of time parameters ensures that reliability considerations are built into the allocation decision from the start, rather than adding corrective measures after allocation fails

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamics by making the task allocation system adaptive to time constraints and projected completion times. The optimal reallocation generator dynamically adjusts allocation decisions based on the relationship between completion time constraints and projected completion times, allowing the system to respond flexibly to varying time requirements while maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If resources are not classified by efficiency indices, then the classification process is simpler, but task allocation accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource suitability assessment accuracyVSAvoidclassification process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing efficiency indices as a new parameter for classifying resources. This parameter transformation converts raw resource data into standardized efficiency measurements, enabling more accurate suitability assessments. The label classifier then uses these transformed parameters to categorize resources appropriately for different task types

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
