Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single virtual apparatus is used for all processing, then device complexity is reduced, but data security and privacy protection deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevirtual apparatus structureVSAvoiddata security

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the virtual apparatus into multiple isolated virtual machines (first virtual machine for private processing, second virtual machine for public processing). This segmentation allows different data types to be handled in separate environments, ensuring data security while maintaining manageable system complexity through standardized virtualization infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If private and public processing are combined, then ease of operation is improved, but information leakage risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprocessing managementVSAvoidinformation leakage

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates separate virtual machines for private and public processing operations. This segmentation prevents information leakage by ensuring that private data processed in the first virtual machine cannot be accessed by the second virtual machine handling public data, while still providing unified management through the information processing device.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a synchronization mechanism as an intermediary that selectively transfers only public processing information between virtual machines. This mediator ensures that private information remains isolated while allowing necessary coordination, thus preventing information leakage while maintaining operational efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If separate virtual apparatuses are used for private and public processing, then data privacy protection is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata privacy protectionVSAvoidvirtual apparatus management

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a universal virtualization platform that can instantiate multiple virtual machines with identical infrastructure components. This multi-functionality allows the system to provide separate processing environments for different data types while reusing the same hardware resources and management protocols, thus protecting data privacy without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Productivity

If all processing information is synchronized to one virtual apparatus, then synchronization efficiency is improved, but data segregation capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesynchronization efficiencyVSAvoiddata segregation

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the synchronization target into multiple virtual machines with clearly defined data boundaries. Private processing information is synchronized only to the first virtual machine, while public processing information is synchronized to the second virtual machine. This segmented approach maintains efficient synchronization by reducing unnecessary data transfer while ensuring strict data segregation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the information processing device determines the classification of processing information and directs synchronization accordingly. This feedback loop ensures that the right type of information is synchronized to the appropriate virtual machine, maintaining both synchronization efficiency and data segregation capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback
