Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If operation data is stored directly in memory without compression, then data accessibility and processing speed are improved, but memory capacity is exceeded in devices with limited storage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accessibilityVSAvoidmemory capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential features of operation data by encoding them into compressed representations. The encoder extracts key operational characteristics while discarding redundant information, enabling storage within limited memory capacity while preserving necessary data for model operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter representation of operation data by transforming it into an encoded format with different statistical properties. The encoder modifies data parameters through compression transformations, reducing the volume while maintaining the essential information needed for AI model execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If operation data is compressed through encoding, then memory capacity utilization is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememory capacity utilizationVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary encoding action to operation data before it needs to be stored or processed. By pre-compressing the data into an encoded format, the system prepares the data in advance for efficient storage, reducing the burden on memory capacity while the encoding complexity is handled upfront rather than during runtime operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
