Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users directly develop complex information processing systems using traditional coding methods, then system functionality and complexity can be achieved, but the development difficulty and time required increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the system development process into distinct visual components: component images representing system elements and flow images representing data flows. Users assemble these segmented visual elements on a design screen to construct complex systems without coding, thereby achieving high system complexity while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary visual design interface that mediates between user intent and system implementation. Instead of directly coding complex systems, users interact with component and flow images as intermediaries, which are then automatically processed by the information processing device to generate functional systems.
2Manufacturing precision
If users manually design and configure each system component and data flow, then precise system architecture can be achieved, but the time and effort required for design increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by providing pre-prepared component images that represent ready-to-use system components with predefined functionalities. Users can directly place these pre-configured components on the design screen and connect them using flow images, eliminating the need to manually design each component from scratch while maintaining architectural precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by allowing users to replicate component images and flow images across the design screen. Pre-defined component templates can be copied and reused multiple times with different configurations, significantly reducing design time while maintaining consistent system architecture standards.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system provides detailed control over system design, then design flexibility and customization are improved, but the interface complexity and learning curve increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts detailed control mechanisms from the user interface and relocates them to the backend processing system. Users interact with a simplified visual interface using component and flow images, while the information processing device handles the complex logic of interpreting these visual elements and generating detailed system configurations, thereby providing design flexibility without increasing interface complexity.
