Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If battery data is uploaded to a cloud-based platform for extensive data analysis and forecasting, then comprehensive battery health prediction is achieved, but the data collection and analysis process becomes lengthy and real-time performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery health prediction accuracyVSAvoiddata collection and analysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the battery diagnosis system into two parts: edge devices that perform rapid real-time monitoring and anomaly detection using convolution operations, and cloud platforms that handle comprehensive long-term analysis. This segmentation allows simultaneous achievement of real-time responsiveness and thorough analytical capabilities by distributing different diagnostic functions across different computational layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If extensive data analysis is performed on cloud-based platforms, then comprehensive battery forecasting is achieved, but the system complexity and computational burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing initial data filtering, convolution operations, and anomaly detection at the edge device level before data is transmitted to the cloud. This preliminary processing reduces the complexity of subsequent cloud-based analysis by pre-processing data locally and only transmitting relevant anomaly information or aggregated statistics to the cloud platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Speed

If real-time battery monitoring is implemented, then immediate anomaly detection is achieved, but the computational resources required at edge devices increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial action by applying convolution operations selectively to detect specific anomaly patterns rather than performing exhaustive analysis on all battery data parameters. The system uses first-order differential operators and threshold-based anomaly detection that require minimal computational resources while still achieving rapid real-time monitoring capabilities at edge devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
