Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If optional data expansion algorithms are used to expand training data, then the quantity of training data is increased, but the accuracy of learning results deteriorates due to unintended data transformations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of training dataVSAvoidaccuracy of learning results
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying transformation parameters (such as rotation angles, scaling factors, translation distances) to identify optimal ranges that preserve data semantics. By adjusting these parameters within specific boundaries, the system generates expanded training data that maintains both quantity increase and accuracy requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the data expansion process adaptive and dynamic. Instead of using fixed transformation rules, the system dynamically adjusts transformation parameters based on feedback from learning results, allowing the expansion algorithm to evolve and optimize its behavior to maintain data quality while increasing quantity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If data expansion algorithms transform images to increase data variety, then the diversity of training data is improved, but the reliability of data meaning deteriorates due to unintended semantic reversals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediversity of training dataVSAvoidreliability of data meaning
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback by using the learning results as a validation mechanism for data expansion. The system monitors whether expanded data maintains correct semantic meaning through learning performance feedback, and adjusts expansion parameters accordingly to prevent semantic reversals while maintaining data diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by establishing predetermined boundaries and constraints for data transformation parameters before expansion occurs. By pre-defining safe transformation ranges that preserve semantic meaning, the system prevents harmful transformations while still allowing sufficient diversity in the expanded data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Manufacturing precision

If boundary weights and integral orders are determined through systematic learning to identify significant data expansion algorithms, then the manufacturing precision of data expansion is improved, but the loss of time increases due to iterative learning processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of data expansionVSAvoidtime for iterative learning
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-determining boundary weights and integral orders through systematic learning before actual data expansion. By performing this calibration work in advance, the system establishes reusable parameters that can be applied to multiple datasets, reducing the time cost for subsequent expansion operations while maintaining high precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial action by focusing the iterative learning process only on critical parameters (boundary weights and integral orders) rather than optimizing all aspects of data expansion. This selective approach achieves sufficient precision for the most important parameters while minimizing the time investment required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
