Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If centralized health report generation is used with full telemetry data transmission, then comprehensive health analysis is achieved, but network bandwidth consumption and data transmission time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth report accuracyVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and performs critical health analysis functions locally at the edge device, separating the inference operations from the centralized cloud system. This extraction allows comprehensive health monitoring while minimizing network data transmission by only sending essential telemetry data or alerts rather than complete datasets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the health monitoring architecture into edge-based inference operations and centralized model training/update functions. This segmentation enables local real-time health assessment with minimal network dependency while maintaining centralized control for model improvements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If full telemetry data is collected and transmitted for health analysis, then accurate health reports are generated, but processing time and latency increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth report accuracyVSAvoidhealth determination latency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary health inference operations locally at the edge device using pre-trained models. This preliminary action enables real-time health assessment without waiting for centralized processing, significantly reducing latency while maintaining accuracy through periodic model updates from the centralized system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If comprehensive telemetry data is stored and analyzed centrally, then complete health insights are obtained, but storage space requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth data completenessVSAvoidstorage space consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts critical health insights through local inference operations, eliminating the need to store and transmit complete telemetry datasets to centralized systems. Only essential data or processed results need to be stored centrally, dramatically reducing storage requirements while preserving health information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Productivity

If custom inference modules are developed for edge environments, then processing efficiency and accuracy improve, but development complexity and resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth reporting efficiencyVSAvoidinference module complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system optimizes inference models by changing parameters such as model size, complexity, and computational requirements to suit edge device constraints. This parameter adjustment enables efficient local health analysis while keeping development and deployment manageable through standardized optimization processes.

Inventive Principle:
