Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If error message deduplication and sequence analysis are performed, then error message management efficiency is improved, but computing resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror message management efficiencyVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the error message processing task into distinct phases: deduplication phase, sequence generation phase, and frequency analysis phase. Each phase processes a specific aspect of error messages independently, allowing for optimized resource allocation at each stage rather than consuming full resources throughout the entire process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts processing parameters such as sequence length thresholds, frequency cutoff values, and deduplication windows based on the volume and characteristics of incoming error messages. This allows the computing resources to be scaled appropriately to the actual workload, improving efficiency without consistently high resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If all error messages are processed and resolved, then system reliability is improved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem reliabilityVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different processing intensities to different error message sequences based on their severity and frequency characteristics. High-severity sequences identified through the frequency algorithm receive prioritized and more thorough analysis, while less critical sequences receive standard processing. This localized quality approach ensures critical issues are resolved quickly without spending equal time on all error messages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where resolved error sequences update the frequency algorithm's knowledge base, improving future prioritization accuracy. This allows the system to learn from past resolutions and progressively improve its ability to identify critical sequences, reducing overall processing time while maintaining or improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If message sequence frequency algorithm is applied, then high severity issues are identified, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveissue severity identification accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frequency algorithm performs preliminary analysis of error message patterns and establishes baseline severity thresholds before actual error resolution begins. This pre-computed knowledge structure allows the system to quickly classify new error sequences without performing complex real-time analysis, maintaining measurement precision while reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
