Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If all potential parameters from medical scan data are used for classification, then the completeness of diagnostic information is improved, but the model convergence difficulty increases and computational resources are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic information completenessVSAvoidmodel convergence difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the most relevant features from the abundant medical scan data parameters. The system identifies and extracts key features that are most predictive of cardiovascular disease and myocarditis, discarding redundant parameters. This extraction process reduces the dimensionality of input data while preserving diagnostic accuracy, enabling model convergence without losing critical diagnostic information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the classification task into multiple stages: first extracting relevant features from raw data, then feeding these features into a classification model. This segmentation separates the feature extraction process from the classification process, making the overall system more manageable and improving convergence by breaking down the complex task of processing all parameters simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If more parameters are processed to improve diagnostic accuracy, then the detection precision is improved, but the computational resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease detection accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential features needed for accurate cardiovascular disease and myocarditis detection, rather than processing all available parameters. This selective extraction maintains high detection accuracy by focusing on the most diagnostic features while significantly reducing computational resource consumption and energy usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If a comprehensive set of parameters is used for classification, then the reliability of diagnosis is improved, but the time required for processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic reliabilityVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the most time-sensitive and diagnostically critical features from medical scan data, enabling rapid processing that maintains high diagnostic reliability. By focusing on key features rather than processing all parameters comprehensively, the system achieves reliable diagnosis in reduced time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary feature extraction and filtering before the main classification process. This preliminary action prepares the data in advance by identifying and isolating the most relevant features, so that the subsequent classification can proceed quickly with pre-processed, high-value data, reducing overall processing time while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
