Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If consumers manually provide credit card information during transactions, then data accuracy is ensured, but transaction time increases and convenience decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveConvenience of providing credit card informationVSAvoidTransaction time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts credit card account data from credit bureau data in advance and stores it in a digital wallet before the transaction occurs. During checkout, the pre-extracted data is automatically provided to the merchant, eliminating the need for consumers to manually enter information and reducing transaction time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A digital wallet acts as an intermediary between the credit bureau data and the merchant. The wallet stores pre-extracted credit card information and automatically provides it during transactions, serving as a mediator that eliminates direct manual input by consumers while ensuring data accuracy through verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If credit card data is extracted and stored in a digital wallet, then access efficiency improves, but data security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveData access efficiencyVSAvoidData security
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The digital wallet system automatically manages credit card data extraction, storage, and provision without requiring consumer intervention. The system self-regulates data access through automated verification processes, improving efficiency while maintaining security through consistent application of access control rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates verification mechanisms that provide feedback on data accuracy and access authorization. Before providing credit card information, the system verifies the consumer's identity and authorization status, creating a feedback loop that ensures both efficient access and maintained security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple credit card accounts are managed through the system, then selection flexibility increases, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCredit card selection flexibilityVSAvoidData management system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary credit card account information from comprehensive credit bureau data and stores it in a simplified digital wallet format. This extraction process separates essential transaction data from other credit information, providing selection flexibility while managing complexity by storing only relevant data elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The digital wallet implements different levels of data storage and access rights for different credit card accounts. The system assigns specific properties and access permissions to individual card accounts based on consumer preferences and transaction types, allowing flexible selection while managing complexity through localized data organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
