Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual analysis and processing of adverse effect data is used, then human judgment and flexibility are maintained, but productivity and consistency are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidmanual intervention level
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service through automated AI processing where the platform independently performs data collection, analysis, and reporting without requiring continuous manual intervention. The AI models automatically process adverse effect data, generate safety signals, and produce regulatory reports, allowing the system to serve itself while maintaining operational efficiency and consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual analysis system with an AI-based automated system. Machine learning models and natural language processing algorithms substitute for human analysts in processing adverse effect reports, extracting structured data from unstructured text, and generating safety signals, thereby significantly improving processing speed and consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If multiple AI models are selected and applied, then processing accuracy and task specialization are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing accuracyVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the AI processing function into multiple specialized models, each designed for specific tasks such as data extraction, safety signal detection, causality assessment, and report generation. This segmentation allows each model to be optimized for its specific function, improving overall accuracy while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a universal AI platform that can select and apply different specialized models based on the specific processing task required. The system provides a unified interface where various AI models can be dynamically chosen and applied, allowing one system to perform multiple functions with high accuracy without requiring separate dedicated systems for each task.

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

3Reliability

If authority-based access control is implemented, then data security and information management are improved, but ease of operation is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoiduser access convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary authentication and authorization layer that mediates between users and the AI processing system. This intermediary component handles identity verification, authority validation, and access control automatically, allowing users to interact with the system conveniently while maintaining strong security through automated verification mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic parameter changes in access control based on user authority levels. The system automatically adjusts data access permissions, processing capabilities, and information visibility according to the authenticated user's authority parameters, providing both security and ease of operation by eliminating the need for manual permission configurations while maintaining appropriate access control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
