Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If signal data is collected in environments with obstacles (pedestrians, walls), then more training data is available, but the position inference accuracy deteriorates due to signal interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of training dataVSAvoidposition inference accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes low-quality signal data points that are affected by obstacles from the training dataset. By identifying and excluding data collected in environments with pedestrians or walls, the system retains only high-quality signal data for training, thereby maintaining position inference accuracy while still utilizing available training data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Measurement precision

If obstacle data is used to filter signal data, then position inference accuracy improves, but device complexity increases due to additional processing requirements

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-filtering signal data during the training phase using obstacle information. The system预先 identifies and removes low-quality data points before model training, so that the position inference model only needs to process high-quality data during deployment, reducing real-time computational complexity while maintaining high accuracy.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses copying by generating augmented training data through Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) algorithm. The GPR algorithm creates synthetic signal data that mimics real-world conditions, allowing the model to be trained on diverse scenarios without requiring additional physical data collection, thus improving accuracy while avoiding the time cost of extensive field data gathering.

AI summary

A method of training an artificial intelligence model for inferring position information is provided. The method includes identifying a first data set including first signal data for a signal device collected at a first position by a user terminal, data for an obstacle located within a certain distance from the user terminal when collecting the first signal data, and second signal data for the signal device collected at a second position, generating a second data set by filtering out the first signal data from the first data set, based on the data for the obstacle, generating a third data set by generating augmented data for the first position and the signal device, based on the second signal data, and training an artificial intelligence model for inferring position information by using the third data set.
