Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual configuration and design of AI model architecture is performed, then model customization and adaptability are improved, but development time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel adaptabilityVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by using pre-trained models that have already been trained on large datasets before being deployed for CAN signal prediction. This allows the system to start with a model that already possesses general predictive capabilities, significantly reducing the time required for model development while maintaining adaptability through fine-tuning on specific CAN datasets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs copying by utilizing pre-trained models that have been developed and trained independently. These pre-trained models serve as templates or copies that can be directly applied to CAN signal prediction tasks, eliminating the need to build models from scratch and reducing development time while preserving adaptability through task-specific adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If extensive data preprocessing and feature selection is performed, then model accuracy is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the taking out principle by selectively extracting only the most relevant features from CAN signals using correlation-based feature selection. Instead of processing all available data, the system identifies and extracts key features that have high correlation with target variables, thereby improving prediction accuracy while reducing processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by applying different preprocessing strategies to different parts of the data processing pipeline. Specifically, correlation-based feature selection is applied to numerical features, while other preprocessing techniques are applied to categorical features, allowing each type of data to be processed with the most appropriate method and reducing overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If data augmentation techniques are applied, then model robustness is improved, but training time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel robustnessVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by implementing data augmentation only for specific cases where it is most beneficial. The system uses SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique) to generate synthetic samples primarily for underrepresented classes or scenarios, rather than applying aggressive augmentation to all data. This selective approach improves model robustness for critical cases while minimizing the increase in training time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
