Solution Overview

Problem

Existing analysis systems require high-performance devices to update evaluation patterns in real-time, which is unsatisfactory for achieving rapid evaluation of apparatus failures and maintenance needs, especially when a large amount of detection information is not yet acquired.

Innovation Solution

An analysis system comprising a detector, a first analysis device for generating processed data from detection information, and a second analysis device that updates the evaluation pattern using this processed data, allowing for faster updates without needing all detection information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single analysis device is used to update evaluation patterns while evaluating apparatuses, then the system structure is simplified, but the device requires high performance which increases cost and complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structureVSAvoidreal-time evaluation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the analysis function into two separate devices: a first analysis device that evaluates apparatuses using detection information and an evaluation pattern, and a second analysis device that updates the evaluation pattern using processed data. This segmentation allows each device to have specialized, lower performance requirements while maintaining overall system reliability and real-time evaluation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If all detection information is used to update evaluation patterns, then evaluation accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation pattern accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing of detection information by the first analysis device to generate condensed processed data before the second analysis device uses it to update evaluation patterns. This preliminary action reduces the data volume that needs to be processed for pattern updates, maintaining accuracy while significantly reducing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If processed data is used instead of all detection information for updating evaluation patterns, then processing speed is improved, but data communication load is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepattern update speedVSAvoiddetection information completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The first analysis device extracts essential features and condenses detection information into processed data that captures the most relevant information for evaluation pattern updates. This extraction process maintains the necessary information completeness while reducing data volume, thereby improving processing speed and reducing communication load simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

An analysis system includes detectors provided in an apparatus, first analysis devices each configured to generate processed data by performing predetermined processing on detection information from each of the detectors, and to evaluate an object to be evaluated based on the detection information from each of the detectors and on an evaluation pattern, and a second analysis device configured to update the evaluation pattern based on the processed data generated by each of the first analysis devices.
