Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If statistical machine learning techniques are used for analyzing abnormal behavior, then analysis can be performed on system data, but comprehensive multivariate analysis and prediction of multi-channel signals is impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces image data as an intermediary representation that bridges the gap between encrypted multi-channel packet data and deep learning analysis. The data processing unit converts encrypted protocols into image formats (grayscale or color images), which then serve as input for the neural network. This intermediary transformation enables comprehensive multivariate analysis without requiring decryption of the original protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by transforming the data representation format from multi-channel packet data to image data with different parameters (pixels, color channels, intensity values). This parameter transformation allows the neural network to process encrypted protocols using image recognition algorithms, achieving comprehensive analysis capability that was impossible with traditional statistical methods.
2Measurement precision
If row-wise clustering with K-NN method is used, then multi-channel static analysis is possible, but past information of time-series data cannot be utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensionality change by converting time-series multi-channel data into a two-dimensional image representation. The temporal dimension and multiple channels are transformed into spatial dimensions (x, y coordinates) and color channels respectively. This allows the neural network to simultaneously analyze multi-channel relationships and temporal patterns in a single comprehensive image analysis operation.
3Loss of information
If column-wise long short term memory (LSTM) anomaly detection is used, then past information can be utilized in the analysis, but comprehensive multivariate analysis and prediction are impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the advantages of both K-NN clustering and LSTM approaches by combining multi-channel static analysis capability with temporal sequence analysis into a unified deep learning framework. The neural network simultaneously processes multiple channels and temporal patterns through image data, achieving comprehensive multivariate analysis and prediction that neither method could achieve alone.
