Innovation Solution

An information processing system comprising an acquisition unit to gather simulation or experimental data, an extraction unit to identify defect data, a classification unit to group defect data based on feature calculations, and a presentation unit to visualize representative data for user examination, facilitating efficient analysis of defect data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If all defect data pieces are presented to users for examination, then users can comprehensively analyze all defects, but the data volume becomes too large for efficient examination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive defect analysisVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts representative data from each cluster of defect data, separating the essential information from the redundant data. The extraction unit identifies and extracts one or more representative defect data pieces from each cluster, which are then presented to users instead of all defect data, thereby reducing data volume while maintaining comprehensive analysis capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the large set of defect data into multiple clusters based on similarity. The classification unit divides defect data pieces into multiple clusters according to their feature data similarity, organizing the data into manageable groups. This segmentation allows users to examine representative data from each cluster rather than processing all individual defect data pieces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If representative data is extracted and presented, then data examination efficiency improves, but the risk of overlooking critical defects may increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata examination efficiencyVSAvoiddefect detection completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where users can provide input about the presented representative data. The presentation unit presents visualized representative data to the user, and the system can receive user feedback to adjust or refine the selection of representative data, ensuring that critical defects are not overlooked while maintaining examination efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary classification and extraction of representative data before presentation. The classification unit pre-processes the defect data by clustering similar cases, and the extraction unit pre-identifies representative pieces from each cluster. This preliminary action ensures that the most relevant defect information is prepared in advance for efficient user examination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
