Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If digital twin systems store comprehensive building data, then data availability improves, but the ability to effectively utilize data for asset management guidance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata availabilityVSAvoidasset management guidance effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces asset value models as an intermediary layer between the digital twin data storage system and asset management decision-making. These models process comprehensive building data through standardized frameworks that incorporate business importance weights, productivity correlations, and degradation predictions, transforming raw data into actionable asset management guidance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms comprehensive building data into meaningful asset management insights by applying parameter changes through asset value models. These models adjust and weight different data parameters based on business importance, correlate energy consumption with productivity metrics, and predict asset degradation trends, thereby converting abundant raw data into effective management guidance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If asset management uses comprehensive building data, then decision accuracy improves, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecision accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex task of asset management decision-making into distinct computational modules within asset value models. These modules separately handle business importance assessment, productivity correlation analysis, energy consumption evaluation, and degradation prediction, allowing each sub-task to be processed independently and efficiently while maintaining overall decision accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing asset value models with embedded business importance weights, productivity correlations, and degradation algorithms before actual asset management decisions are needed. This preprocessing of analytical frameworks reduces real-time computational complexity while preserving decision accuracy when these pre-configured models are deployed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Use of energy by moving object

If building operations optimize energy consumption, then energy efficiency improves, but asset productivity may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy efficiencyVSAvoidasset productivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by dynamically adjusting operational parameters through asset value models that correlate energy consumption with productivity metrics. Rather than simply minimizing energy use, the models optimize energy parameters to achieve the best balance between energy efficiency and asset productivity, using weighted correlations to guide decisions that maintain productive output while improving energy performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamics by making energy optimization strategies adaptive rather than static. The asset value models continuously adjust energy consumption recommendations based on real-time correlations between energy use and productivity metrics, allowing the system to dynamically balance energy efficiency improvements with productivity maintenance or enhancement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
