Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If data is aggregated from multiple external sources across complex computing networks, then data completeness and accessibility are improved, but data integrity and security are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoiddata integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of incoming data to assign content information and identify parameters before aggregation. Markers are pre-assigned to data elements based on their parameters, enabling later filtering and validation during aggregation to maintain data integrity while achieving completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that acts as a mediator between external data sources and the aggregation system. This layer analyzes data, assigns markers, and validates content information, serving as a buffer that ensures data integrity while enabling comprehensive data collection from multiple sources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If all data elements are aggregated without filtering, then data volume and completeness are improved, but processing efficiency and report accuracy deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata volumeVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis and marker assignment before aggregation, identifying which data elements contain specific parameters. This pre-processing enables efficient filtering during aggregation, allowing the system to handle large data volumes while maintaining high processing efficiency by only including relevant data elements in final reports

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments data into categories based on content information and parameters, with markers indicating the presence of specific parameters. This segmentation allows the aggregation process to efficiently select and process only the relevant data segments needed for specific reports, improving overall processing efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If data analysis is performed to identify specific parameters in each data element, then data precision and report accuracy are improved, but computational complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter identification accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of data elements to assign content information and identify parameters before aggregation. This pre-processing step, while computationally intensive, is performed once on each data element and enables subsequent rapid filtering and aggregation operations, improving overall efficiency despite the initial computational investment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates simplified representations of data elements by assigning markers that indicate the presence of specific parameters. These markers serve as copies or proxies for the full data elements, enabling efficient filtering and aggregation operations without requiring repeated analysis of the complete data elements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
