Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple independent deep learning models are used for medical evaluation, then the accuracy of health status assessment is improved, but the complexity of model selection and integration increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of health status assessmentVSAvoidcomplexity of model selection and integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple independent deep learning models into a unified evaluation system. The controller automatically selects and integrates results from multiple specialized models (e.g., tooth detection model, gum detection model, dental plaque detection model) to provide comprehensive health assessment, resolving the contradiction by merging model functions while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements automatic model selection and result integration without requiring manual intervention from medical personnel. The controller autonomously determines which models to apply based on the input image and automatically synthesizes their outputs, eliminating the burden of manual model selection while preserving the benefits of multiple specialized models.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If manual model selection and comprehensive analysis is performed by medical personnel, then accurate evaluation can be achieved, but the time consumption and resource burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of evaluationVSAvoidtime consumption for model selection and analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic model selection and result integration through the controller, eliminating the need for medical personnel to manually select models and synthesize results. This self-service approach maintains evaluation accuracy while dramatically reducing the time and cognitive resources required from medical professionals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-configures multiple specialized deep learning models and their selection criteria in advance. When an image is input, the controller automatically applies the appropriate pre-prepared models and integrates their results, eliminating the need for real-time model selection and analysis by medical personnel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If automated model selection and classification is implemented, then the efficiency of medical processes is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of medical processesVSAvoidcomplexity of automated classification system
Core Design Contradiction:
