Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional artificial intelligence systems face challenges in processing large amounts of sensing data efficiently, leading to increased power consumption and computation requirements, while maintaining data analysis accuracy.

1Measurement precision

If all sensing data from multiple sensors is input to the artificial intelligence module, then data analysis accuracy is maintained, but power consumption and computation requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The pre-processing unit performs preliminary filtering and selection of sensing data before it reaches the artificial intelligence module. By comparing differential signals against reference signals in advance, the system identifies and removes invalid data points, ensuring that only valid data requiring analysis is processed by the AI module. This preliminary action maintains analysis accuracy while reducing the computational burden and power consumption of the AI module.

Solution Approach 1:

The pre-processing unit extracts and removes invalid data from the sensing data stream before it reaches the artificial intelligence module. By comparing differential signals against reference signals and eliminating data that does not meet validity criteria, the system extracts only the meaningful information that requires AI processing. This extraction process maintains the accuracy of data analysis while significantly improving computation efficiency by reducing the volume of data the AI module must process.

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of data validity by comparing differential signals against reference signals. This parameter change enables the pre-processing unit to distinguish between valid and invalid data points based on signal characteristics. By filtering data based on these parameter changes, the system reduces the amount of data processed (lowering power consumption) while ensuring that only valid data points are removed, thereby maintaining data analysis accuracy.
