Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing devices struggle to extract data that captures the characteristics of the entire original data, including multiple feature quantities, leading to inefficiencies in data analysis.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device that acquires original data collected over a predetermined period and extracts data using a search process involving clustering, relative frequency distribution calculation, and error analysis to identify extracted data with equivalent analysis accuracy while reducing data volume.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If data is compressed by extracting only vehicle speed data, then data volume is reduced, but characteristics of other feature quantities are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata volumeVSAvoidcharacteristics of feature quantities
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of data selection from single-dimensional (vehicle speed only) to multi-dimensional (multiple feature quantities including rotational speed, acceleration, temperature). This allows comprehensive capture of data characteristics while reducing volume by selecting only representative time points across all feature dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of selection criteria by considering multiple feature quantities simultaneously rather than relying solely on vehicle speed. This multi-dimensional approach enables better representation of original data characteristics with fewer data points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If all original data is used for analysis, then analysis accuracy is maintained, but data processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the most representative data points from the original dataset by identifying characteristic time points across multiple feature quantities. This extraction process maintains analysis accuracy by ensuring captured data points reflect overall data characteristics while dramatically reducing the total number of data points requiring processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of processing all original data, the patent processes a partial subset of data points that are strategically selected to represent the entire dataset's characteristics. This partial action approach achieves equivalent analysis results with reduced computational burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Ease of operation

If data is extracted using simple vehicle speed thresholds, then extraction process is simple, but data characteristics are not fully captured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveextraction process simplicityVSAvoiddata characteristics
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal extraction framework that handles multiple feature quantities (rotational speed, acceleration, temperature, etc.) using a unified approach. This multi-functional method systematically identifies characteristic time points across all feature dimensions, ensuring comprehensive data characteristic capture while maintaining process efficiency.

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