Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If skilled workers are used for damage assessment and risk management, then accuracy and knowledge-based decision making improve, but cost and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedamage assessment accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a digital twin (virtual copy) of the physical resource that replicates its characteristics, behavior, and state. This digital replica can be analyzed computationally to assess damage and predict failures without requiring physical inspection by skilled workers, thereby maintaining accuracy while reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical inspection processes with computational analysis of sensor data and digital twin simulations. Machine learning algorithms and physics-based models substitute for human expert analysis, enabling automated damage assessment that is both accurate and time-efficient.

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

2Reliability

If manual analysis and skilled workers are deployed, then knowledge and expertise are utilized, but resource intensity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecision making qualityVSAvoidresource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The digital twin system enables the resource itself to provide data about its own state through integrated sensors and monitoring systems. The system performs self-diagnosis and self-assessment by comparing actual sensor data against the digital twin's expected behavior, eliminating the need for external skilled workers while maintaining reliable decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The digital twin acts as an intermediary between the physical resource and the analysis system. It translates complex physical phenomena into computable virtual representations, allowing automated algorithms to analyze resource state without requiring direct human expertise in the underlying physical domains.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

Solution Approach 1:

The digital twin continuously simulates and predicts future states of the resource, identifying potential failures and damage scenarios before they occur in the physical system. This enables proactive prevention measures to be taken based on predicted issues, transforming the system from reactive to proactive while maintaining efficient processing through automated predictions.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

Examples of artificial intelligence based risk and knowledge management analysis are described. In an example implementation, a data analyzer may obtain entity data pertaining to an entity associated with a risk management instrument. The entity data may include data obtained from an IoT device and/or a risk control and knowledge management database. The entity data may be processed by an intelligent risk management agent to perform a variety of risk control and knowledge management tasks, such as claim processing, notification generation, formulization of risk management instruments, and assisting agents, users, and organization. The claim processing may include, for instance, identification of a similar case from database. The notification generation may include analysis with respect to reference parameters. The formulization of risk management instrument may include analysis with respect to the entity data from multiple domains and/or various external factors.
