Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems engineering technologies lack domain intelligence, requiring significant manual input and re-engineering, leading to low productivity, missed requirements, and gaps between system development phases due to the absence of domain awareness.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that utilize a generic language to capture intrinsic knowledge, create domain intelligent solutions, and integrate them with existing technologies as wrappers, enabling domain awareness and reducing manual efforts through a metamodel and translation modules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If existing system engineering technologies are used without domain intelligence, then implementation is straightforward using generic tools, but significant manual input and re-engineering are required leading to low productivity

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveproductivityVSAvoidcomplexity of domain intelligent solution
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a domain intelligence layer as an intermediary between existing system engineering tools and domain-specific requirements. This layer includes domain models, vocabularies, and knowledge bases that translate generic tool capabilities into domain-specific intelligence without requiring complete re-engineering of underlying technologies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal domain intelligence framework that can be applied across multiple domains and tools. The framework provides reusable domain models and knowledge representations that work with various existing system engineering technologies, reducing the need for domain-specific re-engineering

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

2Reliability

If domain knowledge is captured manually from domain experts, then domain awareness can be achieved, but enormous manual efforts are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedomain awarenessVSAvoidmanual efforts
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-defining domain models, vocabularies, and knowledge structures before actual system development. Domain knowledge is captured and organized in advance into reusable frameworks that can be automatically applied to specific projects, eliminating the need for manual knowledge extraction during each development cycle

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by creating reusable domain models and knowledge representations that can be instantiated across multiple projects. Once domain knowledge is captured in a standardized format, it can be copied and adapted to different applications without requiring重新-capture from domain experts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Manufacturing precision

If existing technologies are used without domain intelligence, then tool simplicity is maintained, but gaps between requirement and solution occur due to lack of domain awareness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment between requirement and solutionVSAvoidcomplexity of domain intelligent solution
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the system into distinct layers: existing generic system engineering tools and a new domain intelligence layer. This segmentation allows the underlying tools to remain simple while the domain intelligence layer provides the necessary domain awareness to bridge requirements and solutions accurately

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
