Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If data analysts manually define new features and prepare reports, then analysis accuracy can be maintained, but time consumption and workload increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by allowing users to define new features through natural language queries without requiring manual feature engineering. The machine learning model automatically processes these queries, retrieves relevant data, generates analytics, and creates visualizations autonomously, eliminating the need for data analysts to manually prepare reports while maintaining analysis accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual process of feature definition and report preparation with an automated machine learning system. The ML model substitutes for human analysts in processing queries, collecting data sets, running analyses, and generating visualizations, thereby significantly reducing time consumption while preserving measurement precision through automated intelligent processing.

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

2Loss of time

If automated feature definition is implemented, then time consumption is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime consumptionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves universality by implementing a multi-functional machine learning model that can handle various tasks including feature definition, data collection, analytics generation, and visualization creation. This single unified system replaces multiple separate manual processes, reducing overall system complexity despite the advanced capabilities required for automated feature definition and analysis.

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

3Measurement precision

If manual data collection and analysis is performed, then data quality can be controlled, but productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

AI summary

In one aspect, a method of identifying network features includes receiving a first-time definition of a feature, the feature representing a user query for analytics associated with the feature based on data collected on a plurality of devices in one or more networks, generating the analytics associated with the feature, determining, using a trained machine learning model, a likelihood of adoption of at least the feature by one or more users of the plurality of devices, wherein the trained machine learning model receives as input the first-time definition and provides, as output, the likelihood of adoption of at least the feature, and configuring a user interface on a terminal to provide a visualization of at least one of the likelihood of adoption of at least the feature and the analytics associated with the feature.
