Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a large neural network is used for pose estimation, then accuracy is improved, but processing power and memory requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepose estimation accuracyVSAvoidprocessing power and memory requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the training and inference process between remote and local devices. The remote device performs computationally intensive model training and refinement, while the local device handles lightweight inference. This segmentation allows the local device to use a smaller model for pose estimation, reducing its processing power and memory requirements while maintaining accuracy through collaboration with the remote device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-training the machine learning model on the remote device using large datasets and computational resources. The pre-trained model is then deployed to the local device, where it can perform pose estimation with reduced computational requirements. This preliminary training action enables the local device to achieve good accuracy without needing to process large amounts of data locally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Speed

If a local machine learning model is used for pose estimation, then processing speed is improved, but model accuracy may deteriorate without sufficient training data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepose estimation speedVSAvoidmodel accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by having the remote device evaluate the local model's pose estimation results and generate refined training data based on performance gaps. The local device uses this feedback to iteratively improve its model accuracy through continued training, maintaining both speed and precision over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The local device benefits from preliminary action by receiving a pre-trained model from the remote device that has already been trained on extensive data. This head start allows the local model to achieve reasonable accuracy immediately, after which it can continue improving through localized fine-tuning with feedback from the remote device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If high quality training data is gathered for specialized tasks, then model accuracy is improved, but data collection complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracy for specialized tasksVSAvoiddata collection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies universality by using a general-purpose pre-trained model that can be adapted to specialized tasks through fine-tuning. Rather than collecting specialized training data for each specific task, the system uses a universal model foundation that can be refined for different applications, reducing data collection complexity while maintaining accuracy for specialized tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-training a general model on diverse, general-purpose data before deployment. This preliminary training on broad data establishes a strong foundation that can be fine-tuned for specialized tasks with less additional data, reducing the complexity of gathering task-specific training data while achieving high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
