Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the electroencephalogram signal into multiple signal segments based on time nodes, where each segment corresponds to a specific time interval. This segmentation allows the model to analyze local temporal patterns and transitions separately, improving prediction accuracy by capturing fine-grained temporal dynamics that would be lost in whole-signal processing.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the signal processing task into multiple independent time node predictions, where each time node is processed separately through the neural network. This approach enables parallel computation of multiple predictions, improving overall accuracy while managing computational load through efficient resource utilization across multiple prediction points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs predictions at multiple time nodes within the signal segment, using more prediction points than the minimum single-point prediction. This excessive action of predicting at multiple locations provides redundant information that improves accuracy through aggregation, while the computational overhead is justified by the significant improvement in prediction reliability.

Inventive Principle:
