Solution Overview

Problem

In data analysis, setting operators often need to preset determination references to adjust processing methods, which can increase their workload and is not always necessary.

Innovation Solution

A data analysis device that includes an analysis target acquisition unit, a precision estimation unit to estimate analysis precision based on comparison target data, a selection unit to choose the appropriate analysis module, and an analysis execution unit to perform the analysis using the selected module, allowing for efficient processing without requiring preset determination references.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If determination references are preset manually to adjust processing methods, then analysis precision can be optimized, but the workload of setting operators increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis precisionVSAvoidsetting operator workload
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically selects appropriate analysis modules and determines processing methods by comparing analysis target data with comparison target data, eliminating the need for manual presetting of determination references. The device serves itself by autonomously making decisions about which analysis modules to use based on data characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of setting operators presening determination references with an automated information processing system that uses comparison target data to automatically determine analysis parameters and module selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If multiple analysis modules are used to improve analysis precision, then analysis quality increases, but analysis time and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis precisionVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects analysis modules based on the characteristics of the analysis target data. By comparing the target data with comparison target data, the system adaptively determines which analysis modules are appropriate, allowing the configuration to change flexibly according to data requirements rather than using a fixed set of modules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of module selection by using comparison target data to determine which analysis modules should be activated. This parameter change approach allows the system to optimize between precision and speed by selecting only the necessary modules for each specific analysis task

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Provided is a data analysis device comprising: an analysis subject acquisition part for acquiring data to be analyzed (analysis subject data); a precision estimation part for estimating the analysis precision of the analysis subject data; a selection part for selecting an analysis module to be used in analyzing the analysis subject data on the basis of the result of estimating the analysis precision of the analysis subject data and information indicating the analysis time of the analysis subject data; and an analysis execution part for analyzing the analysis subject data using the analysis module having been selected by the selection part. According to this configuration, in cases where a data analysis device configures a data analysis processing method, the operator of the data analysis device does not have to preset a determination standard for configuring the processing method.
