Solution Overview

Problem

Existing battery degradation state monitoring methods require application-specific teacher data, increasing time and processing load, and lack efficient data generation for battery evaluation indices.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device generates application-specific teacher data from common data, synthesizing time-series data to estimate battery states and calculate evaluation indices, using interpolation and extrapolation techniques to match feature information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If application-specific teacher data is prepared for each battery application, then estimation model accuracy is improved, but time consumption and processing load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveestimation model accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal common data set that can serve multiple battery applications simultaneously. Instead of preparing separate application-specific data for each use case, the system generates a single common data set that encompasses diverse battery operating conditions, allowing one data set to support multiple estimation models for different applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the data generation process into two stages: first generating common data that represents universal battery characteristics, then creating application-specific data by combining this common data with application-specific features. This segmentation allows efficient reuse of common data across applications while maintaining application-specific accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If application-specific teacher data is prepared for each battery application, then estimation model accuracy is improved, but processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveestimation model accuracyVSAvoidprocessing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal common data set that can serve multiple battery applications simultaneously. Instead of preparing separate application-specific data for each use case, the system generates a single common data set that encompasses diverse battery operating conditions, allowing one data set to support multiple estimation models for different applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges common data with application-specific data through a combination process. The common data set is combined with application-specific features to generate application-specific teacher data, which reduces the total processing load by reusing common data across multiple applications rather than processing entirely separate data sets for each application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If common data is synthesized from multiple data sources, then data generation efficiency is improved, but data quality and relevance may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata generation efficiencyVSAvoiddata quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by maintaining distinct characteristics for different data components. The common data set preserves universal battery characteristics while application-specific data maintains unique application features. This ensures that each data component retains its specific quality and relevance while contributing to the overall efficiency of data generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary data processing and quality validation during the common data generation phase. By pre-processing and validating data quality before combining with application-specific features, the system ensures that the final application-specific data sets maintain high quality while benefiting from the efficiency of common data reuse.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
