VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If existing location-based predictive data analysis solutions process all location data objects individually, then prediction accuracy is maintained, but computational resource demands and storage requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource demands
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple individual location data objects into aggregated locality cohorts. Instead of processing each location data object separately, the system combines them into cohort structures that represent groups of locations with similar characteristics and policy responses. This aggregation reduces the number of individual processing units while maintaining predictive accuracy through cohort-level analysis of disease spread patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates synthetic cohort representations that copy the essential characteristics of multiple location data objects into a single aggregated structure. These cohort copies preserve the statistical properties and policy response patterns of the original locations while reducing computational complexity. The cohort-based approach allows the system to work with simplified representations rather than raw individual location data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If existing solutions process each location data object through cross-temporal analysis, then prediction reliability is improved, but storage resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction reliabilityVSAvoidstorage resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple location data objects into locality cohorts that are processed together through cross-temporal analysis. Instead of storing and processing separate time-series data for each location, the system aggregates them into cohort structures that capture temporal patterns at the group level. This reduces the total volume of data requiring storage while maintaining the ability to perform reliable cross-temporal predictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary aggregation of location data objects into cohorts before conducting cross-temporal analysis. By pre-grouping the data and pre-computing cohort-level statistics and patterns, the system reduces the amount of data that needs to be stored and processed during the actual predictive analysis. This preliminary organization of data structure optimizes both storage requirements and processing efficiency.
