Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If generative AI is used to generate response information for each prompt, then the response quality and accuracy are improved, but the processing cost increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse accuracyVSAvoidprocessing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-generates multiple candidate response information items and stores them in advance before they are needed. When a prompt is received, the system retrieves pre-generated responses that match the prompt conditions without performing new generative AI computations, thereby maintaining response accuracy while eliminating the high processing costs associated with real-time generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of generating unique response information for each prompt through computationally expensive generative AI processes, the system creates and stores multiple copies of candidate response information that can be reused across different prompts. This copying approach preserves response quality while dramatically reducing the need for repeated high-cost generation operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Speed

If generative AI continuously generates new responses, then the responsiveness to new prompts is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse speedVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Candidate response information is generated and stored in advance before actual prompts are processed. This preliminary generation eliminates the need for time-consuming comput ation during query processing, enabling instant retrieval and significantly improving response speed while reducing processing time losses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system skips the time-consuming generative AI computation step by using pre-generated candidate responses. Instead of rushing through the generation process for each prompt, the system directly retrieves appropriate responses from stored candidates, effectively skipping the computational bottleneck and achieving rapid response delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)

3Use of energy by moving object

If existing information is used to provide responses, then the processing cost is reduced, but the applicability to new prompts may be limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing costVSAvoidprompt applicability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system generates and stores multiple candidate response information items that can serve multiple different prompts. Each candidate response is designed to be universally applicable to various prompt conditions, allowing the same response to answer multiple different questions or requests, thereby enhancing prompt applicability while maintaining cost efficiency through reuse of existing information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system varies parameters of candidate response information such as the number of candidates, diversity of response types, and matching criteria to improve adaptability. By adjusting these parameters, the system can better match existing responses to new prompts with different requirements, expanding the applicability of stored information to a broader range of prompt scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An information processing apparatus according to the present application includes a reception unit, a determination unit, and a providing unit. The reception unit receives a query including a new prompt sent from a user or a query for obtaining the new prompt. The determination unit determines whether or not a response to the new prompt is available by using existing information that is already-existing information. The providing unit provides, when it is determined by the determination unit that the response to the new prompt is available by using the existing information, the existing information to the user as response information indicating the response to the new prompt.
