Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional data management methods are used to store and access data across multiple data sources, then data storage capacity is maintained, but data understanding and management efficiency deteriorate due to issues with data completeness, accuracy, consistency, and validity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata management efficiencyVSAvoiddata quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a corpus as an intermediary layer between raw data sources and data analysis processes. The corpus standardizes data from multiple sources by defining schemas, data types, and validation rules, thereby improving data quality while maintaining management efficiency. The corpus acts as a mediator that transforms heterogeneous data into a unified, quality-assured format.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary data processing and validation by mapping data to a corpus schema before analysis. Data completeness, accuracy, and consistency are verified in advance through schema validation and data quality checks, preventing poor-quality data from propagating through the system and improving overall data reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If manual data discovery and analysis processes are used, then data quality can be assessed, but the time and resources required for data discovery increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata quality assessmentVSAvoiddata discovery time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual, mechanical data discovery processes with automated machine learning models and algorithms. These models automatically assess data quality metrics such as completeness, accuracy, and consistency by comparing data against the corpus schema, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual inspection while maintaining high measurement precision.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service data quality assessment where the corpus and associated validation rules automatically evaluate data quality without human intervention. The data quality metrics are computed and reported automatically, allowing users to obtain precise data quality assessments without investing significant time in manual analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of information

If comprehensive data analysis is performed across multiple data sources, then data understanding improves, but computing resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata understandingVSAvoidcomputing resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and standardizes essential data characteristics by mapping data to a predefined corpus schema. This extraction process identifies only the relevant data elements and their relationships, filtering out redundant information. By focusing analysis on the extracted, schema-compliant data rather than raw data from all sources, the system improves data understanding while reducing computing resource requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments data analysis into distinct stages: data extraction, corpus mapping, validation, and analysis. Each stage processes only the necessary data subset, with validation checks filtering out problematic data early. This segmentation prevents unnecessary processing of invalid or irrelevant data, reducing overall computing resource consumption while maintaining comprehensive data understanding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
