Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for training information models of buildings lack a systematic approach to assess the reliability and accuracy of such an information model of a building.

Innovation Solution

The proposed method implements a systematic approach to assess the feedback on a prediction of an information model of a building, in particular it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved method for assessing a feedback on a prediction of an information model of a building by receiving raw data, generating an information model, receiving user feedback, assessing the feedback, and determining an assessing result.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If user feedback is directly implemented into the information model without assessment, then the model can be quickly updated, but the reliability and accuracy may deteriorate due to incorrect or contradictory feedback

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of model updateVSAvoidreliability of information model
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback assessment mechanism that evaluates user feedback before implementing it into the information model. The system assesses whether feedback is contradictory or incorrect, and only implements validated feedback, thus maintaining model reliability while still allowing updates. This creates a controlled feedback loop that filters out harmful inputs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary assessment module that mediates between user feedback and the information model. This intermediary evaluates the feedback for contradictions and correctness before allowing it to modify the model, thus protecting the model's reliability while still enabling updates through validated feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If all user feedback is assessed and validated before implementation, then the reliability of the information model is maintained, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of information modelVSAvoidcomplexity of feedback assessment system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the feedback assessment process into distinct functional modules: receiving feedback, assessing for contradictions, determining correctness, and implementing or rejecting feedback. This segmentation makes the complex assessment system more manageable and modular, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The assessment system uses the feedback content itself and historical data to perform self-assessment for contradictions. The system automatically evaluates whether new feedback contradicts existing model elements or previous feedback, reducing the need for external validation and simplifying the assessment mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If feedback assessment includes comparison with historical feedback and contradiction detection, then the accuracy of model updates is improved, but the time required for assessment increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of feedback validationVSAvoidtime for feedback assessment
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary organization and indexing of historical feedback data before assessment is needed. By pre-structuring the historical data for efficient retrieval and comparison, the system reduces the time required for contradiction detection during actual feedback assessment, while maintaining high accuracy through comprehensive comparison.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
