Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed pattern recognition systems are used to retrieve digital media items, then the system structure remains simple and stable, but the system fails to meet user expectations and cannot learn new concepts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to learn new conceptsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where user interactions (positive and negative examples) are fed back into the machine learning model to continuously improve and adapt the trained concepts. This allows the system to learn new concepts dynamically while maintaining a structured architecture through the use of feedback loops in the learning process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the static fixed pattern recognition system into a dynamic system by introducing machine learning models that can adapt and evolve. The trained concepts are not fixed but can be updated and refined based on feedback, allowing the system to change its behavior and improve performance over time while maintaining architectural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If sophisticated pattern recognition systems are deployed, then the system can recognize known patterns, but it fails to meet user expectations for specific retrieval criteria

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveretrieval accuracyVSAvoidflexibility in learning new concepts
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the retrieval task into distinct components: fixed pattern recognition for known patterns and machine learning-based concept learning for adaptive retrieval. This segmentation allows the system to maintain precision for established patterns while gaining flexibility to learn and adapt to new user-specific criteria through separate learning modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system uses fixed retrieval criteria, then the system operation remains simple, but the system cannot adapt to specific user needs and expectations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to meet user expectationsVSAvoidoperational simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service through automated machine learning processes that continuously improve retrieval accuracy without requiring manual reconfiguration. The system automatically learns from user feedback, adapts its trained concepts, and optimizes retrieval criteria autonomously, maintaining ease of operation while significantly improving adaptability to user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
