VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual inspection methods are used to identify defect causes, then labor costs are high, but inspection efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedefect inspection efficiencyVSAvoidtime to identify defect causes
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical inspection with an automated data processing system that uses computer algorithms to calculate influencing parameters. The system automatically processes production data, calculates Gini coefficients and chi-square values, and identifies defect causes without human intervention, thereby improving efficiency and reducing time loss.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing the data processing system to automatically analyze production data and identify defect causes without requiring manual inspection. The automated calculation of influencing parameters and generation of inspection priorities allows the system to serve itself in identifying problems that previously required human labor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive data processing is performed on all production devices, then accuracy is high, but processing time is excessive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of defect cause identificationVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the raw production data into meaningful influencing parameters through mathematical transformations. By calculating Gini coefficients and chi-square values, the system changes the parameter representation to highlight the most significant factors, achieving high accuracy without processing every detail of the raw data comprehensively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts only the most relevant information from the comprehensive production data by calculating influencing parameters that specifically measure the relationship between production devices and defects. This extraction approach maintains accuracy by focusing on key indicators while reducing overall processing time by ignoring less relevant data details.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If traditional defect analysis methods are used, then all devices must be inspected, but the complexity of inspection increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedefect detection reliabilityVSAvoidinspection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different weights and priorities to different production devices based on their calculated influencing parameters. Instead of treating all devices uniformly, the system identifies and focuses inspection resources on specific devices with high influencing parameters, thereby maintaining reliable defect detection while reducing overall inspection complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the inspection process by dividing all production devices into priority groups based on their influencing parameters. This segmentation allows the system to handle complex multi-device inspections by breaking them down into manageable priority levels, reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining comprehensive coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Measurement precision

If detailed analysis of all production parameters is performed, then identification accuracy is high, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms complex raw production parameters into simplified influencing parameters through mathematical calculations. By converting multiple detailed parameters into aggregate metrics like Gini coefficients and chi-square values, the system maintains high identification accuracy while reducing data processing complexity through parameter aggregation and transformation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
