Solution Overview

Problem

In gaming systems, users face difficulties in controlling the deployment of troops due to limited space on the shore region, leading to unintended target routes and challenges in defining a desired war strategy.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with a computing hardware and software product that generates a graphical user interface, allowing users to select and deploy troop transportation units and supplemental fires, with options for redirecting troops and managing resource usage, enabling precise control over troop deployment and strategy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If war-ships are deployed close to target objects to enable effective attack, then attack effectiveness is improved, but available deployment space on the shore region is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattack effectivenessVSAvoidavailable deployment space
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a third dimension (vertical stacking) to the deployment space by allowing war-ships to be positioned at different depths. This enables multiple war-ships to be deployed close to target objects without occupying the same horizontal space, thus maintaining attack effectiveness while increasing available deployment space on the shore region.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Speed

If troops are allowed to automatically select the shortest target route, then route selection speed is improved, but user control over troop deployment is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroute selection speedVSAvoiduser control
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent allows users to pre-define multiple possible target routes for troops before deployment. When deploying troops, the system presents these pre-defined routes to the user, who can then select the desired route. This preliminary preparation enables both fast execution (since routes are pre-calculated) and user control (since users can choose from presented options).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
