Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users manually track and organize search results through multiple search rounds, then they can find desired properties, but the process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically saving properties to wish lists during the search process, eliminating the need for users to manually track results across multiple search rounds. The wish list is pre-configured and automatically populated, reducing the number of interactive steps required.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a copy of the search interface that consolidates multiple search results into a single wish list view. This copied interface allows users to see all saved properties in one place rather than navigating through multiple search rounds, effectively copying the organization function into the display layer.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users need to organize and track search results across multiple modalities, then they can narrow searches effectively, but the process becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple search results and organizational functions into a single wish list interface. Instead of requiring separate tracking mechanisms for different search modalities, all properties are consolidated into one unified view with consistent organization options.
Solution Approach 2:
The wish list interface serves multiple functions simultaneously: it stores search results, organizes them by various criteria, allows comparison, and enables sharing. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate tools for each organizational task.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users want to share wish lists with others, then they can collaborate on property selection, but current systems lack effective sharing features
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a sharing mechanism that acts as an intermediary between users and wish lists. Users can generate shareable links or invite others to view and comment on wish lists without requiring direct access to the underlying system, simplifying the sharing process.
