Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If mobile terminal and image display apparatus share Internet access information in varying environments, then Internet service provision efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveInternet service provision efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments Internet access information into distinct categories including connectivity state information, roaming state information, WLAN information, and user preference information. This segmentation allows each type of information to be independently managed, transmitted, and processed, improving service provision efficiency while maintaining manageable device complexity through organized information architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal Internet access information sharing mechanism that enables both mobile terminals and image display apparatuses to function as Internet access devices for each other. This multi-functionality allows either device to provide Internet access depending on environmental conditions, improving productivity while the standardized information structure prevents complexity escalation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If Internet access information is frequently transmitted between devices in changing environments, then adaptability is improved, but loss of information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidloss of information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by having devices proactively transmit Internet access information before it becomes obsolete. The controller generates and transmits updated access information (connectivity state, roaming status, WLAN configuration) in advance of environmental changes, ensuring the receiving device has current information ready for immediate use, thereby reducing information loss while maintaining high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where devices continuously monitor their Internet access environment and transmit updated information when changes are detected. This feedback loop ensures information remains current and accurate, preventing information loss while enabling the system to adapt to changing environments through real-time information exchange.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
