Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If training scenarios are incorporated in a predetermined program, then the system structure is simple and reliable, but the ease of operation deteriorates because non-programmers cannot freely edit scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses template forms as reusable patterns for training scenarios. Users can copy existing forms and modify them without programming knowledge. The forms serve as templates that can be instantiated multiple times with different parameters, enabling non-programmers to create customized scenarios by filling in form fields rather than writing code.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a form-based interface as an intermediary between the user and the scenario execution system. This form layer translates user-friendly form filling into the underlying programmatic scenario definitions. The form acts as a mediator that shields users from programming complexity while still enabling scenario customization.
2Adaptability or versatility
If training scenarios are fixed in program code, then the reliability is high, but the adaptability deteriorates because users cannot freely generate desired scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments training scenarios into discrete, manageable forms that can be independently configured and connected. Each form represents a specific scenario element (e.g., voice input, voice output, evaluation criteria) that can be customized without affecting other parts. This segmentation allows users to build reliable, customized scenarios by assembling pre-defined form components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent prepares standardized form templates in advance with pre-defined structures, validation rules, and connection protocols. These pre-prepared forms ensure reliability by establishing consistent scenario execution patterns before users begin customization. Users only need to fill in specific parameters rather than defining entire scenario structures, maintaining reliability while enabling adaptability.
3Ease of operation
If a graphical interface with forms is provided for scenario creation, then the ease of operation improves for non-programmers, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs forms with universal structures that can serve multiple scenario types. A single form template can be reused across different training scenarios by adjusting parameters, reducing the need for multiple specialized interfaces. This universality simplifies the overall system while maintaining ease of use, as users learn one form interface that applies to all scenario creation needs.

AI summary
A traffic control training scenario generation apparatus generates a training scenario for traffic control communication. The apparatus includes: a display unit and a display control unit that performs display control of the display unit. The display control unit displays on the display unit form generation buttons that respectively correspond to setting forms to set processings including voice input receiving processing and voice output processing in the training scenario, displays on the display unit one of the setting form corresponding to one of the form generation buttons when the form generation button is operated by a user, and displays on the display unit a connection line connecting between the multiple setting forms when an operation is performed by a user to cause processing in the training scenario to proceed between multiple ones of the setting forms displayed on the display unit.
