Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If AI/ML algorithms are introduced into wireless communication systems to improve performance, then algorithm performance monitoring is enabled, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI/ML algorithm performanceVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the first device monitors algorithm performance and energy consumption, then feeds this information back to the second device for lifecycle management decisions. The second device uses this feedback to determine whether to update algorithms based on performance gains versus energy consumption increases, creating a closed-loop control system that balances performance and energy efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters for algorithm selection and management by introducing energy consumption comparison information as a new decision criterion. Instead of solely optimizing for performance, the system now compares multiple algorithms based on both performance metrics and energy consumption parameters, allowing dynamic adjustment of algorithm selection to optimize the trade-off between reliability and energy efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Extent of automation

If comprehensive monitoring of algorithm energy consumption and performance is implemented, then algorithm lifecycle management is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealgorithm lifecycle managementVSAvoidmonitoring and management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the monitoring and management functions into distinct components: the first device handles local monitoring of algorithm performance and energy consumption, while the second device handles centralized lifecycle management decisions. This segmentation allows each device to focus on specific tasks, reducing overall system complexity while enabling comprehensive automated management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces energy consumption comparison information as an intermediary element that bridges performance monitoring and lifecycle management. This intermediary data structure simplifies the interaction between monitoring and management functions by providing a standardized format for comparing algorithms, reducing the complexity of direct integration between monitoring and management systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If multiple algorithms are compared and managed, then algorithm selection optimization is improved, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealgorithm selection efficiencyVSAvoidinformation processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the most critical information needed for algorithm selection by focusing on energy consumption comparison data and performance metrics. Instead of processing all possible algorithm parameters, the system extracts and processes only the essential comparison information (energy consumption, performance gain, threshold values), reducing information processing requirements while maintaining selection optimization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by processing and comparing only the necessary algorithm parameters for lifecycle management decisions. The system processes energy consumption and performance information selectively based on management policies and thresholds, rather than processing all possible algorithm characteristics, thus reducing information processing load while maintaining effective algorithm selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
