Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If resource management and policy management are implemented on Web OS platforms, then user convenience and product satisfaction are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments resource management and policy management into separate modular components within the Web OS architecture. Resource management handles allocation of computational resources (CPU, memory, storage) while policy management handles service access control and application lifecycle management. This segmentation allows each module to be independently optimized and maintained, reducing overall system complexity while improving user convenience through specialized functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer between the Web OS core and applications/services that mediates resource allocation and policy enforcement. This intermediary manages the complexity of resource scheduling and policy verification, presenting a simplified interface to both applications and the core OS, thereby improving ease of operation without proportionally increasing visible system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple services and applications are processed simultaneously on Web OS, then service functionality is enhanced, but processing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice functionalityVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic resource allocation and service scheduling mechanisms that adapt to current system load and service priorities. The policy management module dynamically adjusts resource allocation based on service importance, user preferences, and system state, allowing multiple services to run simultaneously while maintaining processing efficiency through intelligent scheduling and priority-based execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
