Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If commercial good information is manually managed in existing systems, then service providers can offer commercial goods through online lottery, but the management efficiency and convenience for service providers is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The ticketing device enables service providers to independently register commercial good information, manage tickets, and control issuance without requiring complex external system configurations. The device autonomously handles the registration of multiple commercial good information items, ticket generation, and selective attachment to tickets, allowing service providers to self-manage the commercial good offering process efficiently
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-registers multiple commercial good information items in the registration unit before ticket issuance. This preliminary registration allows the ticketing device to quickly select and attach appropriate commercial good information to tickets during operation, eliminating the need for real-time manual configuration and improving management efficiency
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple commercial good information are registered for ticket issuance, then customer choices and interest are enhanced, but the complexity of managing and selecting appropriate information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The ticketing device is designed with a registration unit that can store multiple types of commercial good information (e.g., lottery tickets, coupons, gift certificates) and a ticketing unit that can attach different types of information to tickets based on predefined rules. This multi-functional design allows the same device to handle diverse commercial good offerings without requiring separate systems for each type, managing complexity through unified functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates selection criteria and rules that automatically determine which commercial good information to attach to tickets based on factors such as customer profiles, purchase history, or promotional rules. This automated selection process provides feedback mechanisms that simplify management by eliminating manual decision-making for each ticket issuance while maintaining versatility in offering choices
