Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional data collection methods are used for healthcare AI models, then data privacy is protected, but data collection efficiency and completeness are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection efficiencyVSAvoiddata completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the data collection process into multiple independent query components. Each query targets specific data items or conditions, allowing systematic extraction of comprehensive training data while maintaining privacy through controlled access to individual data segments rather than bulk data exposure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary data collection mechanism that acts between the user and the database. This intermediary automatically generates and executes multiple queries based on user specifications, completing data collection tasks efficiently while the system maintains privacy protection through controlled data access and processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If multiple specific data items are required for AI training, then model accuracy is improved, but data collection complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoiddata collection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides a universal data collection interface that handles multiple data items and query types through a single unified mechanism. The query generation and execution system is designed to work with various data structures and conditions, reducing complexity by providing a consistent approach regardless of the specific data requirements

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating appropriate queries and executing data extraction operations before the user needs the data. The system proactively collects and prepares training data based on user specifications, eliminating the need for users to manually construct and execute complex queries for each data item

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If data from rare diseases is collected for AI training, then healthcare model applicability is improved, but data availability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel applicabilityVSAvoiddata availability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by collecting all available data for rare diseases without requiring excessive or unrealistic data quantities. The query system extracts every relevant record that exists in the database, accepting that the quantity may be limited but ensuring complete utilization of available rare disease data for training model applicability to underserved conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

To efficiently collect training data for training an AI model, an input of a training profile is received that includes item values corresponding to a plurality of data items, including analysis target data to be analyzed by the AI model and information on the model type. A first query is acquired to extract training data from a training database. The number of pieces of first training data to be extracted from the training database is calculated. The required number of pieces of the training data to train the AI model is calculated using the information on the model type. Whether the number of pieces of the first training data is equal to or greater than the required number is determined. When the determined number of pieces of the first training data is less than the required number, a supplementary query for extracting the training data is generated.
