Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If data is transmitted without scrambling in AI models, then transmission speed and processing efficiency are improved, but data security and confidentiality deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission speedVSAvoiddata security
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing data scrambling before transmission. The sending device scrambles the data in advance using a scrambling policy, so that when data is transmitted, it is already protected. This resolves the contradiction by ensuring security is established before the transmission process begins, without affecting the transmission speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces scrambling as an intermediary process between the original data and transmission. The scrambling policy acts as a mediator that transforms readable data into scrambled form, providing a security layer without blocking the transmission channel. This allows both security and transmission efficiency to coexist.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If complex scrambling policies are applied to AI model data, then data security is improved, but computational overhead and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the scrambling policy adaptable and configurable. Different scrambling policies can be selected based on the specific data type, security requirements, and computational resources available. This allows the system to balance security needs against processing time constraints dynamically, rather than using a fixed complex scrambling method for all cases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses parameter changes by allowing the scrambling policy to be adjusted according to different scenarios. The scrambling strength, algorithm selection, and processing depth can be modified as parameters to optimize the balance between security and processing time. This resolves the contradiction by enabling flexible adaptation rather than applying uniform complex scrambling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If data is scrambled during transmission in AI models, then confidentiality is improved, but compatibility and ease of processing deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveconfidentialityVSAvoidprocessing ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback by implementing a complete scrambling and unscrambling process. The receiving device receives the scrambled data and uses the corresponding unscrambling policy to restore it to its original form for processing. This feedback mechanism ensures that while confidentiality is maintained during transmission, the ease of processing is preserved at the receiving end through automatic unscrambling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by creating a scrambled version of the data for transmission while maintaining the ability to restore the original. The scrambling process creates a transformed copy that protects confidentiality, but the unscrambling capability ensures the original data can be recovered for processing, thus maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
