Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If conventional databases are used for data structure transformation, then the transformation process is simple, but the databases are incapable of maintaining data attribute equivalence during transformation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata attribute equivalenceVSAvoidtransformation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a specialized transformation system that acts as an intermediary between conventional databases. This system includes a transformation engine with machine learning models that mediate the conversion process, ensuring data attribute equivalence is maintained while handling the complexity of transforming between different coding systems (e.g., ICD-10 to ICD-9).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The transformation system dynamically adjusts transformation parameters and mapping relationships based on the specific data attributes being transformed. By changing the parameters of the transformation process rather than the data itself, the system maintains attribute equivalence across different coding systems while adapting to various transformation scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If conventional transformation methods are used, then the processing speed is fast, but the transformation accuracy and clinical richness are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
