Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems require customers to manually input detailed specifications for each order, leading to increased complexity and burden for general customers, particularly in managing custom products of vibrator devices.

Innovation Solution

A management method and system that includes a server and a customer terminal device, where the server receives custom programming information for a vibrator device and generates a custom model number to specify the received information, facilitating easier management and ordering of custom products.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If customers manually input detailed specifications for each order, then custom product requirements can be accurately specified, but the management burden and complexity for customers increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustom product specification accuracyVSAvoidcustomer management burden
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary between the customer and the custom product management system. It receives detailed programming information from the customer's terminal device, processes it into a condensed custom model number, and manages the correspondence between the detailed specifications and the simplified identifier. This mediator function transfers the complexity from the customer to the server system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the essential identification function from the detailed programming information. By generating a custom model number that captures the key characteristics of the custom programming information, the system separates the detailed specification management (handled by the server) from the customer interaction (simplified to model number reference).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If detailed programming information is managed for each custom order, then product customization is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct customization capabilityVSAvoidsystem management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts the essential identification function from the detailed programming information. The server processes the complex programming data and generates a condensed custom model number that captures the key characteristics. This extraction allows the system to maintain customization capability while reducing the visible complexity to users and simplifying data handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The server serves as an intermediary that processes and manages the complexity of programming information. It receives detailed custom programming data from customer terminals, transforms it into manageable custom model numbers, and maintains the correspondence relationships in the background, thereby enabling customization without proportionally increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If custom programming information is processed and stored, then accurate product specification is maintained, but information management load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct specification accuracyVSAvoidinformation management volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts the essential identification function from the detailed programming information. By generating a custom model number that captures the key characteristics of the programming information, the system reduces the information management volume while preserving the ability to accurately identify and manage custom product specifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

There is provided a management method for a custom product of a vibrator device in a management system including a server and a first terminal device of a customer connected to the server via a network. The server receives, from the first terminal device, custom programming information to be written in the vibrator device. The server generates a custom model number for specifying the received custom programming information.
