Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic apparatuses face challenges in accurately identifying and classifying errors, which can lead to inefficient operation and potential damage, due to the complexity of internal components and the variety of error types.

Innovation Solution

The electronic apparatus employs a dual neural network model approach, where a first neural network model is pre-trained using learning data for various error types, and a second neural network model is trained using processed data to classify error categories corresponding to these types. This allows for accurate identification of error categories based on probability values output by both models.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a single neural network model is used for error classification, then the device complexity is low, but the measurement precision of error types is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror classification accuracyVSAvoidneural network model structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the error classification task into two separate neural network models: a first model that identifies specific error types and a second model that categorizes errors by severity or category. This segmentation allows each model to specialize in one aspect, improving overall classification accuracy while managing complexity through functional division.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If multiple neural network models are used for error classification, then the measurement precision of error types is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines two neural network models into a unified error classification system where the first model's output feeds into the second model. This merging approach leverages the strengths of both models - the first model's detailed error type identification and the second model's categorical classification - to achieve high precision without requiring each individual model to be overly complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If comprehensive learning data for all error types is used for training, then the reliability of error identification is improved, but the loss of time for data processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary processing of learning data before training the neural network models. This includes organizing error data into structured formats, pre-labeling error types and categories, and preparing training datasets in advance. By performing these actions beforehand, the system reduces real-time data processing requirements while maintaining high training accuracy and model reliability.
