Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If online banking is used, then banking tasks can be performed remotely, but the experience is limiting and lacks personal feedback

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote banking capabilityVSAvoidinteraction quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a virtual teller as an intermediary between the user and the banking system. This virtual teller provides personalized interaction and feedback, bridging the gap between remote online banking and personal service. The virtual teller can guide users through transactions, provide explanations, and offer assistance, thereby enhancing the interaction quality while maintaining remote accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the virtual teller provides real-time responses to user actions, confirms transactions, and offers guidance. This feedback loop addresses the limitation of online banking by providing personal feedback, making users feel supported and informed throughout the banking process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If keyboard input is required, then precise data entry is possible, but mobile devices and non-traditional computing devices are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata entry accuracyVSAvoiddevice compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the banking system universal by supporting multiple input methods including voice commands, touch interface, and keyboard input. This multi-functionality allows the system to adapt to different devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and traditional computers, thereby improving device compatibility while maintaining data entry accuracy through various input modalities.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces the mechanical keyboard input system with voice recognition and touch-based interfaces. This substitution allows users to interact with the banking system using speech or touch gestures, eliminating the need for physical keyboards and enabling access from mobile devices and other non-traditional computing devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Productivity

If traditional online banking interface is used, then banking tasks can be performed, but the experience is frustrating and incomplete

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction completionVSAvoiduser experience quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static online banking interface into a dynamic virtual environment with a virtual teller that can adapt its behavior based on user needs. The interface becomes more responsive and flexible, providing guidance, explanations, and assistance dynamically during transactions, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a virtual copy of a physical bank branch environment, complete with virtual tellers and interactive elements. This virtual replication provides users with an immersive and intuitive banking experience that feels more natural and complete than traditional online interfaces, reducing frustration and improving overall user experience quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
