Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple data models are built and combined manually, then model accuracy can be improved, but the complexity of the process increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidprocess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple data models (benchmark model and challenger models) into a unified modeling output through automated combination techniques. This merging approach allows the system to leverage the strengths of multiple models while reducing the manual complexity of managing them separately, thereby improving model accuracy without proportionally increasing process complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a multi-functional platform that handles model building, combination, selection, and management through a single integrated interface. This universal approach allows users to perform multiple modeling tasks through one system, reducing the need for separate tools and processes while maintaining high model accuracy through comprehensive analysis capabilities.

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

2Productivity

If automated model building is implemented, then productivity increases, but control over modeling parameters decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel building efficiencyVSAvoidparameter control
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the balance between automation and user control by allowing users to specify modeling parameters and assumptions while the system automatically handles the complex process of model building and combination. This dynamic approach enables users to maintain control over critical parameters while benefiting from automated efficiency in executing the modeling process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system acts as an intermediary between user intent and model output by providing a structured interface where users can input parameters and assumptions, and the system translates these into automated model building operations. This intermediary layer preserves user control while enabling automated productivity gains through systematic parameter management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive model evaluation is performed, then model selection accuracy improves, but the time required for analysis increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel selection accuracyVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating both benchmark and challenger models with pre-defined evaluation criteria before final model selection. This preliminary modeling and pre-evaluation approach allows for comprehensive model assessment to be conducted systematically, improving selection accuracy while reducing the time required for final decision-making by having analyses prepared in advance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
