Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a new analysis algorithm is developed to improve molecular diagnosis performance, then the diagnostic accuracy and reliability are improved, but the complexity of algorithm evaluation and certification increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic accuracyVSAvoidalgorithm evaluation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates visual copies (graphical representations) of algorithm performance data, displaying multiple analysis results simultaneously in a standardized format. This allows certification authorities to visually compare legacy and new algorithms without complex computational analysis, resolving the contradiction between improved diagnostic accuracy and increased evaluation complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the algorithm evaluation process into distinct visual components, separating different performance metrics and analysis results into individual display elements. This segmentation allows for systematic comparison of multiple algorithms against certification criteria, making the evaluation process more manageable despite increased complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If multiple analysis algorithms are compared to determine algorithm updates, then the performance improvement is confirmed, but the time required for comparison and evaluation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance evaluation precisionVSAvoidcomparison time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary visualization of all algorithm performance data before formal certification review. By pre-displaying comparative results in a standardized graphical format, the system prepares evaluation materials in advance, allowing certification authorities to quickly review performance improvements without time-consuming manual analysis during the actual certification process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates visual copies of performance data that can be rapidly displayed and reviewed. These graphical representations serve as efficient surrogates for detailed numerical analysis, enabling quick visual comparison of multiple algorithms while maintaining measurement precision, thus reducing evaluation time without sacrificing accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If detailed performance data is displayed for algorithm comparison, then the certification accuracy is improved, but the information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecertification accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms complex detailed performance data into visual copy representations (graphical displays). This copying process converts raw numerical data into visual formats that maintain certification accuracy while reducing processing complexity, as visual patterns can be more easily interpreted than raw data by certification authorities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions performance data from one dimension (numerical values) to another dimension (visual/graphical representation). This dimensional change allows detailed performance information to be displayed in a format that is both accurate for certification purposes and simpler to process visually, resolving the contradiction between detail and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
