Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data processing systems experience increased errors when data sets approach convergence due to neutral feedback between data detector and decoder circuits, leading to unnecessary iterations and reduced data quality.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a data quality determination circuit and an output selector circuit that dynamically switches between positive and neutral feedback based on the quality of the data set, using a sector quality indicator to determine when to select positive feedback to prevent error increase.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If standard neutral feedback is used in data processing circuits, then the system structure is simple, but the data quality deteriorates and error rate increases when data is near convergence

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata qualityVSAvoidfeedback circuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic feedback selection mechanism that switches between neutral feedback and positive feedback based on data quality metrics. The system monitors convergence status and adaptively changes the feedback type, transforming a static feedback structure into a dynamic one that optimizes performance at different processing stages

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a quality-based feedback selection mechanism that uses data quality metrics to determine whether to apply neutral or positive feedback. This layered feedback approach adds a control dimension that monitors processing state and adjusts feedback characteristics accordingly, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple iterations are performed through data processing circuits, then processing thoroughness increases, but processing time increases and errors may worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing precisionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing quality assessment before each iteration and proactively switching to positive feedback when convergence is detected. This prevents unnecessary iterations that would waste time and potentially degrade data quality, allowing the system to terminate processing optimally

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic quality monitoring and feedback type switching during the data processing iterations. By periodically assessing data quality and adjusting feedback characteristics, the system avoids continuous unnecessary processing while maintaining high precision when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Reliability

If positive feedback is always used, then data quality is maintained near convergence, but processing efficiency decreases when data is far from convergence

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata qualityVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by using different feedback types (neutral or positive) in different processing stages based on local data quality conditions. Rather than applying a uniform feedback approach globally, the system tailors the feedback characteristics to the specific convergence state of the data being processed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
