Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If customers manually enter contact information into communication devices, then contact information can be stored, but the process is cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of storing contact informationVSAvoidtime required to store contact information

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a web page as an intermediary medium that automatically captures contact information and enables direct transmission to communication devices. The web page serves as a mediator between the customer and the contact information storage process, eliminating manual entry requirements and reducing time consumption through automated data transfer.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing contact information to be automatically transmitted and stored in communication devices without requiring customer intervention for manual entry. The web page and communication device work together to automatically capture, transmit, and store contact details, freeing customers from tedious manual tasks.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If customers print web pages to remember contact information, then contact information can be retained, but the process is cumbersome and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvereliability of remembering contact informationVSAvoidease of retaining contact information

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of printing web pages with an electronic data transmission system. Instead of physically printing information and manually storing it, the system electronically transmits contact information from the web page directly to communication devices, improving both reliability and ease of operation through digital automation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If businesses publish contact information on web pages, then customers can access multiple contact methods, but there is no automated way to send this information to communication devices

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveversatility of contact information accessVSAvoidautomation of contact information transmission

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The web page serves as an intermediary that bridges the gap between diverse contact information sources and communication devices. It automatically captures contact details published on the web page and transmits them to various communication devices, enabling automated integration while maintaining the versatility of multiple contact methods.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides universal functionality by enabling the same web page to serve multiple purposes: publishing contact information, capturing data, and transmitting it to various communication devices. This multi-functional approach maintains versatility while introducing automation through a single integrated system.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The present invention relates to a method and system for transmitting contact information published and/or product/services advertisements of a web page directly to a communication device such as a cellular phone. According to one method, advertisement containing data, voice, image and/or video files is attached to contact information published in a web page and thereafter sent to a one or more communication devices, such as cellular phones, along with the corresponding contact information. Means is provided in the communication device to save and/or display the data, voice, image and/or video files contained in the said advertisement; preferably at such a time when a caller selects or uses the contact information corresponding to the said advertisement. Means is also provided to attach different advertisements at different times to the said contact information.
