1Ease of manufacture

If hard-coded algorithms are used in electronic control systems, then the system structure is simple and easy to implement, but the system cannot be optimized for particular implementations and requires expert knowledge to modify parameters

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic parameterization where the monitoring algorithm transitions from static hard-coded parameters to dynamically adjustable parameters that can be automatically optimized. The system uses adaptive parameterization that allows parameters to change based on system state and performance requirements, resolving the contradiction between simple implementation and optimization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs self-optimizing capabilities where the monitoring algorithm automatically adjusts its own parameters without requiring external expert intervention. Through automated parameter tuning and adaptive optimization, the system serves itself by identifying and applying optimal parameter configurations based on observed system behavior and performance metrics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

If adaptive parameterization is implemented to optimize monitoring algorithms, then system performance can be improved, but efficiency decreases when using multiple non-monotonic or interacting parameters

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the parameter optimization problem by dividing complex interacting parameters into smaller, more manageable subsets or groups. This segmentation allows the system to optimize parameters in a structured manner, reducing the computational complexity associated with handling multiple non-monotonic or interacting parameters while maintaining overall system performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes parameters based on system state and performance feedback, transitioning from fixed parameter sets to adaptive parameter configurations. This parameter change capability allows the monitoring algorithm to maintain high efficiency by adjusting only the necessary parameters at each optimization step rather than re-evaluating all parameters simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The monitoring system implements self-optimization capabilities that automatically tweak parameters without requiring external expert knowledge. The system uses built-in optimization algorithms that analyze performance metrics and autonomously adjust parameters to improve algorithm performance, eliminating the need for specialized expertise in parameter tuning.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor algorithm performance and use this information to guide parameter adjustments. Through closed-loop feedback, the system automatically identifies performance bottlenecks and adjusts parameters accordingly, replacing manual expert intervention with automated feedback-driven optimization.
