Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a digital assistant is triggered for an interaction event based on a web page, then the digital assistant can provide assistance to the user, but the interaction flexibility and efficiency are limited without web page plug-in support
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a web page plug-in as an intermediary component between the digital assistant and the web page content. The plug-in receives the web page link from the terminal device, obtains and parses the web page content, and provides processed content back to the digital assistant. This intermediary structure enables the digital assistant to interact with web page content without directly accessing external web pages, thereby improving interaction flexibility while managing system complexity through a well-defined interface boundary.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is segmented into distinct functional modules: the terminal device that triggers the interaction, the web page plug-in that handles content acquisition and processing, and the digital assistant that provides assistance based on processed content. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall system efficiency and adaptability while maintaining clear separation of concerns.
2Productivity
If the digital assistant directly accesses web page content, then content processing capability is improved, but security risks and system stability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The web page plug-in serves as a secure intermediary that handles all interactions with external web pages. It obtains web page content through controlled means, parses the content using predefined rules, and provides sanitized processed content to the digital assistant. This intermediary layer prevents direct access to external web pages by the digital assistant, thereby maintaining system stability and security while still enabling content processing capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of the digital assistant directly accessing and processing original web page content, the system creates a copied and processed version of the content through the plug-in. The plug-in parses the web page content according to predefined rules and provides this processed copy to the digital assistant, which then operates on this controlled copy rather than the original external content, ensuring system stability.
3Ease of operation
If the digital assistant interacts with web page content without a plug-in, then system simplicity is maintained, but interaction efficiency and user experience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The web page plug-in is designed as a universal component that can handle various types of web page content and interaction scenarios. It provides multi-functional capabilities including content acquisition, parsing, and processing through a unified interface. This universal plug-in architecture improves ease of operation across different scenarios while managing complexity through code reusability and standardized interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The web page plug-in implements self-service by automatically obtaining web page content based on the provided link, parsing the content using predefined rules, and providing processed content back to the digital assistant without requiring manual intervention. This automation improves user experience and ease of operation while containing complexity within the plug-in's self-contained implementation.
