Solution Overview

Problem

Existing computing devices rely on user-directed operations and lack the capability to learn and perform autonomous operations based on their surroundings, limiting their ability to adapt and function independently.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a processor circuit, memory unit, and artificial intelligence unit that detects objects using sensors, learns object representations correlated with instruction sets, and anticipates and executes instructions for autonomous operation based on partial matches between new and learned object representations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If devices operate based on user-directed instructions, then operational control is maintained, but autonomous operation capability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautonomous operation capabilityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into distinct functional modules: sensor unit for environmental detection, AI unit for learning and anticipation, processor circuit for instruction execution, and memory unit for data storage. This segmentation enables autonomous operation while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The AI unit performs preliminary learning of object representations and their correlations with instruction sets before actual operation. This pre-learning phase enables the system to anticipate required instructions in advance, achieving autonomous operation without real-time complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If devices rely on user input for operation, then operational accuracy is maintained, but adaptability to new circumstances is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to environmentVSAvoidoperational accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The sensor unit continuously detects environmental objects and feeds this information to the AI unit, which compares current object representations with learned representations. This feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt to new circumstances while maintaining operational accuracy through correlation-based instruction selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes its operational parameters dynamically by selecting different instruction sets based on the detected object representations. The AI unit adjusts the correlation thresholds and matching parameters to balance adaptability to new objects with accuracy in instruction execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If comprehensive object detection is implemented, then environmental awareness is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental awarenessVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The AI unit performs partial matching of object representations rather than complete analysis. By identifying key correlating features between detected objects and learned representations, the system achieves sufficient environmental awareness without exhaustive processing, reducing time loss while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
