Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a simple event detection system is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the measurement precision of event details deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidevent detail specification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system is segmented into multiple functional modules: keyword collecting unit, related keyword collecting unit, search formula generating unit, image collecting unit, and training unit. Each module performs a specific task in the event detection process, allowing the complex functionality to be distributed across simpler, specialized components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate processing elements such as the search formula generating unit that transforms keywords into search queries, and the training unit that bridges raw images and the learning system. These intermediaries enable precise event detection without requiring direct complex connections between all components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If a fixed detection system is installed, then the device complexity is minimized, but the adaptability to new events deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem configuration complexityVSAvoidnew event detection capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates dynamic retraining capabilities where the training unit can continuously update the learning system with new images and keywords. This allows the system to adapt to new events over time without requiring complete system replacement or complex reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The learning system performs self-improvement through automated retraining processes. The system can independently learn from new data collected by the image collecting unit, reducing the need for manual system reconfiguration and enabling automatic adaptation to new event types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If traditional detection methods are used, then the ease of operation is maintained, but the reliability of event detection deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoidevent detection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback loops where detection results are continuously evaluated and used to retrain the learning system. The training unit receives feedback from detection outcomes and adjusts the model accordingly, improving reliability while maintaining automated operation that does not increase user burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical or rule-based detection systems with a learning-based system that uses machine learning algorithms. This substitution improves detection reliability by enabling the system to learn complex event patterns automatically, while the automated training process maintains ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
