Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional data processing approaches are used to handle big data, then data processing can be performed with simple tools, but the processing efficiency is insufficient and cannot handle large volumes of complex data within tolerable time intervals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data processing task into multiple cognitive operations including data collection from diverse sources, data preparation, cognitive inference, learning, and validation. Each segment is handled by specialized cognitive computing components that work in parallel, improving overall processing efficiency while managing complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces cognitive computing systems as intermediary layers between traditional data processing tools and big data. These cognitive systems include cognitive agents, knowledge graphs, and inference engines that mediate the processing of complex data, enabling efficient handling of dark data and unstructured information that traditional tools cannot process effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If dark data is collected and stored for potential insights, then valuable information becomes available, but the data becomes difficult to access, process, and utilize at the right time and place

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveactionable insights extractionVSAvoiddata access and processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing dark data through cognitive inference and learning operations before it is needed. Cognitive agents continuously analyze and interpret dark data in the background, preparing actionable insights in advance. This allows the system to quickly access and utilize pre-processed insights when needed, rather than processing raw dark data at the moment of need.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where cognitive learning results are continuously validated and used to improve future data processing. The system learns from the utilization patterns of dark data and adjusts its processing strategies, making previously inaccessible dark data progressively easier to access and utilize through iterative improvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
