Solution Overview

Problem

Current AI unit identification methods face complexity and increased signaling overheads due to the use of a single identifier, making it difficult for multiple manufacturers to coordinate and manage AI units effectively.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a dual-identifier system for AI units, where a first identifier uniquely identifies the unit and a second identifier indicates different procedures, reducing complexity and signaling overheads while optimizing management across various manufacturers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single identifier is used for AI units, then the identification method is simple, but the coordination complexity and signaling overheads increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification method complexityVSAvoidsignaling overheads
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the identification system into two distinct identifiers: a first identifier for basic AI unit identification and a second identifier for procedure-specific identification. This segmentation allows each identifier to serve specific purposes, reducing the need for redundant information transmission and lowering signaling overheads while maintaining coordination efficiency among multiple manufacturers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If a single identifier is used for AI units, then the system structure is simple, but the coordination among multiple manufacturers becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structureVSAvoidcoordination capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the identification function into two segments: a first identifier that provides basic identification across manufacturers and a second identifier that enables procedure-specific coordination. This segmentation allows the system to maintain structural simplicity while enhancing coordination capability by providing differentiated identification mechanisms for different procedural contexts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a second dimension of identification by adding the second identifier that operates alongside the first identifier. This dimensional expansion enables the system to handle multiple manufacturers and procedures simultaneously, transforming a one-dimensional identification system into a two-dimensional system that provides both universal and specific identification capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a dual-identifier system is implemented, then the coordination among manufacturers improves, but the identifier management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoordination efficiencyVSAvoididentifier management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the procedure-specific identification function into a separate second identifier, isolating it from the basic first identifier. This extraction allows each identifier to be managed independently according to its specific requirements, reducing the overall management complexity by avoiding the need to manage a single complex identifier that must handle all functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Adaptability or versatility

If a dual-identifier system is implemented, then the AI unit management flexibility improves, but the signaling overhead is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanagement flexibilityVSAvoidsignaling overheads
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments identification information into two distinct identifiers, allowing the system to transmit only the necessary identifier for each specific procedure. This segmentation reduces signaling overheads by avoiding the transmission of redundant information while maintaining management flexibility, as each identifier can be independently selected and transmitted based on procedural requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

This application discloses a method for identifying an AI unit. The method includes: obtaining, by a first communication device, a first identifier of the AI unit, where the AI unit is associated with a second identifier, and sending, by the first communication device, first information of the AI unit to a second communication device, where the first information includes the first identifier of the AI unit.
