Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If traditional software application generation methods are used, then the software application can include numerous libraries and modules, but the process is complex and requires significant technical expertise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of software application generationVSAvoidcomplexity of generation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The software application is segmented into reusable components, libraries, and modules that can be independently developed, tested, and deployed. The system provides a component library with pre-built functional blocks that developers can select and combine, breaking down the complex task of building software from scratch into manageable segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary automated generation platform that mediates between the developer's high-level specifications and the complex underlying software construction. This intermediary automatically handles the complexity of integrating libraries, modules, and dependencies, translating user-friendly component selections into complete software applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If traditional software deployment methods are used, then the software application can be deployed to a target destination, but the process is time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeployment speedVSAvoidtime for deployment process
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-building, pre-testing, and pre-optimizing software components and templates before they are needed. Common software patterns, libraries, and deployment configurations are prepared in advance and stored in a component library, so that when deployment is required, the system can quickly assemble and deploy applications without repeating time-consuming preparation steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables rapid deployment by dynamically adjusting deployment parameters such as target environment configurations, resource allocation settings, and optimization levels. The automated generation process can modify these parameters based on the specific deployment scenario, allowing the same software application to be efficiently deployed to different target destinations with minimal manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
