Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If label tables are manually produced for allocating natural-language-like names to partial actions, then action recognition accuracy is improved, but manufacturing cost and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaction recognition accuracyVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates label tables by extracting action names from operation manuals and processing them through NLP techniques, enabling the system to serve itself without manual intervention. The controller automatically creates the mapping between action patterns and natural language labels, eliminating the need for tedious manual table production while maintaining recognition accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary processing of operation manuals to extract and structure action information before actual action recognition occurs. By pre-processing the manual content to generate candidate action names and their corresponding patterns, the system prepares the label table in advance automatically, reducing both manual workload and manufacturing costs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If detailed label tables are created for all partial actions, then recognition precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary action information from operation manuals, separating essential action patterns from redundant details. By extracting key action names, parameters, and patterns selectively, the system creates a streamlined label table that maintains precision without requiring comprehensive documentation of all possible action variations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms unstructured operation manual text into structured action patterns with defined parameters. By converting natural language descriptions into standardized action representations with specific parameters and patterns, the system reduces complexity while preserving recognition precision through consistent parameter-based matching

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
