Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple federated learning models are trained simultaneously on a device, then model learning capability is improved, but resource consumption and battery usage increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel learning capabilityVSAvoidbattery consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the training schedule of federated learning models based on real-time device state monitoring. When battery level is high or device is charging, more models can be trained simultaneously. When battery is low or device is being used, training is reduced or paused. This dynamic scheduling resolves the contradiction by making resource usage adaptive rather than static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements periodic monitoring of device state (battery level, usage status, resource availability) and periodically adjusts the training schedule accordingly. Training occurs in periodic cycles that are interrupted or modified based on device state changes, allowing model learning to proceed when resources are available while conserving energy when they are not.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Manufacturing precision

If federated learning models are trained with higher resource allocation, then model accuracy is improved, but device resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoiddevice resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different resource allocation strategies to different federated learning models based on their individual requirements and the current device state. Not all models receive the same level of resources; instead, resource allocation is customized locally for each model according to its specific needs and the available device resources at that moment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes training parameters (such as batch size, learning rate, number of epochs) based on device state conditions. When resources are abundant, training parameters are set to maximize accuracy. When resources are constrained, parameters are adjusted to reduce computational load while maintaining acceptable model performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If device state monitoring is continuously performed, then learning schedule optimization is improved, but processing overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelearning schedule optimizationVSAvoidprocessing overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs monitoring and scheduling adjustments selectively rather than continuously at maximum intensity. It monitors critical device states (battery level, usage status) at appropriate intervals and only makes scheduling changes when necessary. This partial action approach provides sufficient optimization without the full overhead of continuous intensive monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
