Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional predictive models for electronic devices are not updated after production, leading to a decrease in accuracy over time due to changing external factors and inconsistent testing results, resulting in inefficient prediction of product failures and normal operations.

Innovation Solution

An AI predictive model is generated and updated based on component input data, fail result data, and pass result data, allowing for real-time adjustments and improved prediction accuracy by transmitting data to a server for machine learning and model updates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a conventional predictive model is used without updates, then the initial prediction accuracy is achieved, but the prediction accuracy decreases over time due to changing external factors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidtime elapsed since model production
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where actual test results from complete products are fed back to update the predictive model. The system collects test data, compares predicted outcomes with actual results, and uses this feedback to continuously refine and update the model parameters, ensuring prediction accuracy is maintained over time despite changing external factors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the static predictive model into a dynamic system that adapts to changing conditions. The model is designed to be continuously updated with new data, allowing it to evolve and adjust to changing external factors, manufacturing variations, and product designs while maintaining its predictive capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If the predictive model is updated continuously with new data, then prediction accuracy is maintained, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidmodel update system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the system automatically collects test data, processes results, and updates the predictive model without requiring extensive manual intervention. The system autonomously manages the data collection, analysis, and model refinement processes, reducing operational complexity while maintaining continuous accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a multi-functional system that handles multiple tasks within a unified framework: data collection from various sources, test result analysis, model parameter adjustment, and validation. This universal approach consolidates multiple functions into a single integrated system, managing complexity through functional consolidation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of manufacture

If only component test data is used for prediction, then the testing process is simple, but the prediction result does not reflect actual complete product performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting process simplicityVSAvoidprediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges component-level test data with complete product test results into a unified predictive model. By combining data from both sources, the system captures both the detailed component behavior and the system-level interactions, providing a more accurate representation of actual product performance while maintaining the simplicity of component-based testing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
