Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If filter rules are manually configured and updated, then data validation accuracy is maintained, but system complexity and update latency increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata validation accuracyVSAvoidfilter rule management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The filter rules are automatically updated by the edge server itself based on detected incorrectness biases, eliminating the need for manual configuration. The system monitors its own performance and self-adjusts the filter rules to reduce latency while maintaining validation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where detected incorrectness biases are used to automatically update filter rules. The edge server monitors data validation results and uses this feedback to refine future filtering decisions, creating a continuous improvement loop.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive filter rules are applied to detect all types of incorrectness, then detection accuracy improves, but processing time and latency increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveincorrectness detection accuracyVSAvoiddata validation latency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The filter rules dynamically adapt based on detected incorrectness biases. Instead of using static comprehensive rules, the system adjusts the filtering strategy in real-time based on the specific patterns of incorrectness detected in the data stream, optimizing the balance between detection accuracy and processing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters of the filter rules based on the extent and spread of detected incorrectness biases. When certain types of incorrectness are detected, the system modifies filter parameters to prioritize detection of those specific patterns, reducing overall processing time while maintaining accuracy for the most critical validation tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If real-time data validation is performed, then data integrity is maintained, but computational resources and processing load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integrityVSAvoidcomputational processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial validation actions based on the detected incorrectness biases. Instead of validating all data points with full computational intensity, the system focuses computational resources on validating data patterns that show signs of incorrectness, reducing overall processing load while maintaining data integrity for critical validations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts and focuses validation efforts on the most critical data validation tasks. By identifying and isolating the specific incorrectness patterns that need attention, the system can apply intensive validation only where needed rather than uniformly across all data, reducing computational burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
