Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If machine learning models are continuously trained in each AI device, then model accuracy may be improved, but power consumption increases and accuracy variations occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of training execution frequency based on real-time model accuracy monitoring. The management device changes the training frequency adaptively - increasing it when accuracy drops below thresholds and decreasing it when accuracy is sufficient - thereby optimizing the balance between maintaining model accuracy and reducing power consumption in AI devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback loop where the management device continuously monitors model accuracy from multiple AI devices and uses this information to adjust training frequencies. This feedback mechanism enables the system to respond to accuracy variations and external environment changes, optimizing power consumption while maintaining required accuracy levels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If training frequency is increased to improve model accuracy, then reliability of output values improves, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of output valuesVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamic frequency adjustment to match training intensity with actual reliability requirements. By monitoring model accuracy and adjusting training frequency accordingly, the system ensures reliable output values only when necessary, avoiding excessive power consumption during periods when model performance is already sufficient

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Stability of the object's composition

If continuous training is performed at high frequency, then model accuracy is maintained, but variations in accuracy across different AI devices occur

Engineering Contradiction:
