Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If comprehensive data collection is performed to detect all potential incidents, then detection accuracy is improved, but system complexity and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveincident detection accuracyVSAvoidmonitoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The monitoring system is segmented into multiple independent modules: data collection module, machine learning model module, and incident detection module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring capabilities through distributed sensor nodes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Machine learning models are trained in advance on historical data to learn incident patterns before actual monitoring begins. This preliminary training enables the system to detect incidents efficiently during operation without requiring complex real-time analysis of all collected data, thus reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If continuous monitoring of all parameters is performed, then reliability is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice availabilityVSAvoidmonitoring system energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs periodic data collection at scheduled intervals rather than continuous monitoring. Sensors collect data at defined frequencies, and the machine learning model processes data periodically, reducing energy consumption while maintaining sufficient monitoring coverage for reliable incident detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning model automatically determines which parameters require attention based on learned patterns, enabling the system to self-adjust monitoring intensity. When incidents are detected, the model automatically triggers focused data collection on relevant parameters, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining high reliability for critical events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If detailed data collection is performed to verify incident patterns, then detection accuracy is improved, but response time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveincident verification accuracyVSAvoidincident response time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The machine learning model performs preliminary analysis of incoming data streams to identify potential incident patterns before full verification is required. This preliminary detection allows the system to prepare verification procedures in advance, reducing the time needed for detailed data collection and analysis when incidents are suspected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts data collection intensity based on incident likelihood. When the machine learning model detects patterns suggestive of incidents, the system automatically increases data collection frequency and detail for verification. During normal operation, data collection operates at lower intensity, reducing overall response time while maintaining verification accuracy when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Collected data of a first set of parameters is received via a network from one or more devices. Using machine learning, at least a portion of the collected data of the first set of parameters is analyzed to automatically identify one or more additional data parameters to be obtained to verify a detection of an incident pattern. The one or more additional data parameters are indicated to be obtained to at least a portion of the one or more devices. Collected data responsive to the indicated one or more additional data parameters is received. Based at least in part on the responsive collected data, the detection of the incident pattern is verified and a responsive action is performed.
