Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If large image/video data is transmitted and processed to generate supervision boundaries, then the accuracy and reliability of supervision boundaries is improved, but the burden on computer networks, storage resources, and computational resources increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupervision boundary reliabilityVSAvoidsystem resource burden
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential features and metadata from image/video data rather than processing the complete raw data. The system identifies and processes key elements such as object detection results, tracking data, and event markers, leaving out the bulk of redundant visual information. This extraction approach maintains supervision boundary reliability while significantly reducing network transmission burden, storage requirements, and computational processing loads.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary processing of image/video data at the source device before transmission. Features such as object detection, tracking identifier assignment, and event detection are completed in advance, so that only processed results and essential metadata need to be transmitted to the server. This preliminary action reduces the data burden on networks and servers while maintaining the reliability of supervision boundaries through pre-validated feature extraction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If real-time monitoring data is continuously processed to dynamically adjust supervision boundaries, then the adaptability of the system is improved, but the computational resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupervision boundary adaptabilityVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic processing of monitoring data at strategic intervals rather than continuous real-time processing. Event-triggered updates occur based on specific conditions such as detected events, boundary violations, or significant changes in tracking data. This periodic action maintains system adaptability by responding to critical changes while significantly reducing computational energy consumption compared to continuous processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs edge computing capabilities where the AR device performs local processing of monitoring data to generate and update supervision boundaries autonomously. The device uses on-device machine learning models to process tracking data and adjust boundaries without requiring constant server communication and processing. This self-service approach maintains adaptability through local real-time adjustments while minimizing the computational energy burden on centralized servers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
