Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If data compression is performed to reduce package size for security and cost reasons, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but data reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission costVSAvoiddata reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by extracting and verifying correlation rules from historical data before actual compression occurs. The system pre-establishes reliable correlation patterns that can be safely used during compression, ensuring that data reliability is maintained while achieving compression. This is evident in the correlation extraction means that analyzes historical data to identify patterns before compression is applied to new data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through the correlation verification means that continuously validates correlation rules against incoming data. This feedback mechanism ensures that only reliable correlations are used for compression, and allows the system to adapt when correlations change or become invalid. The verification process provides ongoing feedback to maintain data reliability while achieving compression goals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Quantity of substance

If existing compression techniques are used to compress large volumes of data, then data volume is reduced, but compression ratio is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata volumeVSAvoidcompression ratio
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by transforming data representation based on extracted correlation patterns. Instead of using fixed compression algorithms, the system dynamically changes data parameters by replacing correlated data elements with references to correlation rules, achieving higher compression ratios. The correlation extraction means identifies patterns that allow more aggressive compression than traditional methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the compression process into distinct stages: correlation extraction, correlation verification, and actual compression application. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, with the correlation extraction focusing on pattern identification and the compression stage focusing on applying those patterns for maximum ratio achievement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If correlation-based compression is applied to maintain high reliability, then data reliability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the extraction principle by separating the complex correlation analysis function into a dedicated correlation extraction means that operates independently from the main compression process. This extraction of the complex analytical function allows the main compression system to remain relatively simple while still achieving high reliability through the pre-extracted correlation rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent reduces system complexity during operation by performing the complex correlation analysis in advance during a preliminary extraction phase. The correlation extraction means analyzes historical data beforehand to establish reliable patterns, so that during actual compression operations, the system only needs to apply pre-verified rules rather than performing complex analysis in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The system includes a correlation extraction means for extracting at least one candidate for a correlation from a collected given data set, based on a relationship between units of data in the given data set; a correlation verification means for verifying whether or not the units of data in the given data set satisfy the correlation extracted by the correlation extraction means; and a data compression means for compressing the given data set with use of the correlation, based on the result of verification by the correlation verification means.
