Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods struggle to accurately identify and separate influential physical variables affecting the motion of moving objects, such as electric vehicles, due to difficulties in dividing explanatory variable spaces into regions based on variable influence and removing unnecessary variables.

Innovation Solution

A computer-readable recording medium and analysis apparatus that generates a regression function using observed physical variables, divides the explanatory variable space into regions, and provides contribution information on each variable's influence, enabling the identification and selection of key variables for each region.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If regression analysis is performed using all observed physical variables, then comprehensive analysis is achieved, but computational complexity and difficulty in identifying key variables increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveestimation accuracyVSAvoidanalysis complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The explanatory variable space is divided into multiple regions based on the regression function, allowing variables to be analyzed and selected separately for each region. This segmentation enables identification of key variables specific to each operational condition without being overwhelmed by the entire variable set simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and identifies only the necessary explanatory variables that significantly contribute to the objective variable within each region. By removing unnecessary variables through contribution analysis, the system achieves accurate estimation while reducing analysis complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Measurement precision

If explanatory variable space is divided into multiple regions, then variable influence can be accurately identified, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariable influence identification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The regression function is generated in advance using all observed physical variables before region division. This preliminary action creates a foundation that guides the subsequent region division and variable selection processes, making them more efficient and targeted rather than requiring repeated comprehensive analyses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Different sets of explanatory variables are identified for different regions of the explanatory variable space. Each region receives tailored variable selection based on its specific characteristics, improving accuracy for local conditions without requiring uniform complex analysis across all possible variable combinations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If all explanatory variables are used for regression analysis, then model completeness is maintained, but model accuracy for specific conditions decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel completenessVSAvoidestimation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the explanatory variable space into multiple regions and selects appropriate explanatory variables for each region. This allows the model to be complete across all conditions while being optimized for accuracy within each specific condition, resolving the conflict between universality and precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The set of explanatory variables is made dynamic rather than static - different variables are selected depending on which region of the explanatory variable space the current data point falls into. This dynamic adaptation maintains model completeness while improving accuracy for specific conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
