Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the threshold is set to an excessively high value, then the filtering of competitors is improved, but the number of admitted competitors becomes less than the number of available resources, leading to inefficient resource use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefiltering precisionVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic threshold adjustment by continuously monitoring competition data and adapting the threshold value in real-time. Instead of using a fixed high threshold, the system dynamically modifies the threshold based on current competition intensity and resource availability, ensuring both precise filtering and efficient resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the threshold parameter based on observed competition patterns and resource utilization metrics. By adjusting the threshold parameter dynamically rather than keeping it fixed, the system resolves the contradiction between maintaining high filtering precision and ensuring adequate resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If the threshold is set to an excessively low value, then more competitors are admitted to participate in resource competition, but the filtering of competitors becomes ineffective

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of admitted competitorsVSAvoidfiltering precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the threshold based on real-time competition data, allowing the threshold to be low when needed to admit more competitors while maintaining high filtering precision through continuous adaptation. The dynamic nature enables the system to respond to changing conditions rather than being constrained by a fixed low threshold.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor competition outcomes and resource utilization, using this information to continuously refine the threshold value. This feedback loop ensures that the threshold remains optimized to balance competitor admission with effective filtering, preventing both excessive exclusion and inadequate filtering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If a fixed threshold is used for resource competition, then the system operation is simple, but the system cannot adapt to changing competition conditions, leading to suboptimal resource allocation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoidthreshold adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-adjustment of the threshold by automatically analyzing competition data and modifying the threshold value without external intervention. This self-service capability maintains operational simplicity while achieving high adaptability, as the system autonomously responds to changing conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the static fixed threshold into a dynamic adaptive threshold that automatically adjusts to competition conditions. This dynamic approach preserves ease of operation while dramatically improving adaptability, as the system automatically responds to changing environments without requiring complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A method of adjusting a resource competition threshold for qualifying resource competition participants in resource competition is described. Processing circuitry of an apparatus obtains first competition data associated with a first time period, obtains a first optimal threshold according to the first competition data, and set the resource competition threshold according to the first optimal threshold. The processing circuitry obtains second competition data associated with a second time period, and obtains a second optimal threshold according to the second competition data. When a difference between the second optimal threshold and the resource competition threshold is greater than a difference threshold, the processing circuitry obtains third competition data and updates the resource competition threshold according to the third competition data.
