Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If detailed data of network access traffic is sent to the server terminal, then the accuracy of fake traffic identification is improved, but the bandwidth requirement and data storage increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefake traffic identification accuracyVSAvoiddata transmission volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential feature information from network access traffic data before transmission. Instead of sending complete detailed data, the system identifies and transmits only the critical features that are necessary for fake traffic identification, thereby reducing data transmission volume while maintaining identification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the network access traffic data into distinct feature components. By dividing the data into specific feature elements that can be independently analyzed, the system can transmit only the relevant segments required for identification, reducing overall data transmission requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If feature information of network access traffic is not accurately determined, then the data transmission volume is reduced, but the fake traffic identification accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission volumeVSAvoidfake traffic identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters of data representation by transforming raw network traffic data into extracted feature parameters. This transformation allows the system to work with modified data characteristics that maintain identification capability while reducing data volume. The feature extraction process identifies which parameters are most discriminative for fake traffic detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary feature extraction and analysis before data transmission. By pre-processing the network traffic data to identify and extract relevant features in advance, the system prepares the data in a form that is optimized for subsequent identification tasks, ensuring that only the most relevant information is transmitted and processed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If access content and means information is extracted and transmitted, then the identification process is simplified, but the ability to distinguish fake traffic from normal traffic deteriorates due to traffic refreshing technologies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification process complexityVSAvoidfake traffic distinction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters of analysis by moving from examining surface-level access content and means to analyzing deeper behavioral features and patterns. This parameter transformation allows the system to overcome traffic refreshing technologies that mask traditional identification markers, while still maintaining a manageable identification process through automated feature extraction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
