Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If BLSTM network is used for speech processing, then speech recognition can be performed, but prediction results are unstable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction stabilityVSAvoidnetwork training complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the speech signal into multiple segments based on peak detection, and divides the training process into multiple stages with different loss functions. This segmentation approach allows the model to focus on different aspects of speech processing at different stages, improving prediction stability while managing training complexity through structured progression.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary peak detection and speech segmentation before the main training process. This preliminary action prepares the data in advance, allowing the training to proceed more efficiently with focused loss functions, thereby achieving stable predictions without excessive training complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If network training is performed to stabilize predictions, then prediction stability improves, but training time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction stabilityVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary peak detection and speech segmentation before training, preparing the data structure in advance. This reduces the time required during actual training iterations, allowing the model to achieve stable predictions faster without needing excessive training time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts the loss function based on training progress, transitioning from initial loss functions to final loss functions as training advances. This dynamic adaptation allows the model to converge to stable predictions more efficiently, reducing overall training time while maintaining prediction reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If speech is divided into segments for processing, then processing accuracy improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing accuracyVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the speech signal into multiple segments based on peak detection, which improves processing accuracy by allowing focused analysis of specific speech portions. The segmentation is achieved through a dedicated module that detects peaks and divides the signal, adding complexity only where needed while maintaining overall system manageability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary segmentation module that sits between the speech input and the main processing network. This intermediary component handles the complexity of segmentation and peak detection, simplifying the overall system architecture by isolating the complex task in a dedicated module rather than distributing it throughout the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
