Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional systems utilize large datasets of historical data to generate predictions, then prediction coverage and completeness improve, but computing time, memory, storage space, and processing bandwidth requirements increase excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction reliabilityVSAvoidcomputing resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential features from historical data using feature extraction techniques, transforming raw data into meaningful representations that capture user behavior patterns without requiring the entire historical dataset. This allows the system to generate accurate predictions while significantly reducing the amount of data that needs to be processed and stored.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the prediction problem into multiple components by creating separate models for different aspects of user behavior (e.g., interaction frequency, interaction type, time-based patterns). Each model processes specific feature subsets independently, reducing the computational burden on any single model while maintaining overall prediction accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If conventional systems require years of historical account data to generate predictions, then prediction accuracy improves, but data preprocessing, cleaning, and maintenance requirements increase extensively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary feature extraction and transformation during the data collection phase, pre-processing data into meaningful representations before it is needed for prediction. This preliminary action reduces the complexity of subsequent data cleaning and maintenance operations while maintaining prediction accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate representation layers between raw historical data and final predictions. These intermediate features serve as mediators that simplify the relationship between raw data and prediction targets, reducing the complexity of data processing while maintaining accurate predictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If conventional systems utilize rigid assumptions and sub-models to predict account interactions, then model structure simplicity improves, but prediction robustness and flexibility deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamic modeling techniques that allow the prediction model to adapt its structure and parameters based on the specific characteristics of each user account and the context of interactions. This dynamic approach enables the model to handle variability in account interactions without requiring rigid assumptions, improving both flexibility and robustness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different modeling approaches and feature sets to different aspects of user behavior and different user accounts. Each user account receives customized predictions based on its specific patterns, and different interaction types are modeled with appropriate local detail, maintaining overall model simplicity while enabling local adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Device complexity

If conventional systems generate single prediction values for single applications and time periods, then prediction model simplicity improves, but prediction completeness and robustness across multiple time scales deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction outputVSAvoidprediction robustness
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends predictions from single time-point forecasts to multi-time-scale predictions by adding temporal dimensionality to the output. The model generates predictions for multiple future time periods simultaneously, allowing the system to plan resource allocation across different time scales while maintaining a unified prediction framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal prediction model that can generate predictions for multiple computing applications and time periods using the same underlying framework. This multi-functional model handles diverse prediction tasks (different applications, time scales, interaction types) through a single unified approach, improving robustness without proportionally increasing complexity.

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