Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple operating systems are independently updated, then system functionality is maintained, but disk resources are wasted and operation speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem functionalityVSAvoiddisk resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple operating systems into a single virtualized environment where they share common initialization and management resources. This consolidation allows multiple OS instances to coexist while utilizing the same disk space for shared components, thereby reducing overall resource consumption while maintaining individual system functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The virtualized structure creates a universal base operating system that serves multiple specialized operating systems simultaneously. The shared initialization and management components provide multi-functional support to different OS instances, eliminating redundant storage requirements and improving operation speed through centralized resource management.

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

2Reliability

If multiple operating systems are independently updated, then system functionality is maintained, but operation speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem functionalityVSAvoidoperation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple operating systems into a single virtualized environment where they share common initialization and management resources. This consolidation allows multiple OS instances to coexist while utilizing the same disk space for shared components, thereby reducing overall resource consumption while maintaining individual system functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The virtualized structure performs preliminary initialization and management setup once for all operating systems, rather than repeating this process for each system. This preliminary action significantly reduces operation speed overhead while ensuring that all OS instances have the necessary functional foundation established before execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If user-specific web platform containers are independently managed, then user customization is enabled, but resource efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser customizationVSAvoidresource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges user-specific web platform containers into a shared virtualized environment where initialization and management resources are consolidated. This allows each user to maintain customized web platform instances while sharing common system resources, thereby improving resource efficiency without sacrificing user-specific adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Ease of operation

If sound from multiple users is mixed, then communication freedom is increased, but driving safety is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication freedomVSAvoiddriving distraction
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments sound output by creating separate virtual engines for different users and applications. This segmentation allows the system to manage and control sound sources independently, enabling communication freedom for multiple users while providing the capability to prioritize or suppress specific sound streams to prevent driving distractions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
