Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If statistical methods or multi-step error analysis methods are used for anomaly detection, then automation is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates because these methods require uniform environmental conditions and pre-defined data errors that cannot cover all anomaly types
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the anomaly detection approach by changing from statistical parameter analysis to deep learning feature extraction. The cycle-GAN network learns complex patterns and parameters automatically from data, eliminating the need for pre-defined error types and uniform environmental conditions, thereby achieving both automation and high precision simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional statistical analysis mechanisms with deep learning mechanisms. Instead of using mathematical statistics and pre-defined error models, the system employs neural networks that automatically learn and adapt to various anomaly patterns, achieving superior detection accuracy while maintaining automation
2Measurement precision
If gas sensor calibration and environment adjustment are performed manually, then measurement precision is maintained, but productivity deteriorates due to manual operation requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service through automated calibration and environment adjustment systems. The gas sensor system automatically performs calibration operations and adjusts environmental parameters without manual intervention, maintaining measurement precision while dramatically improving preparation efficiency and productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing calibration and environment adjustment operations automatically before gas measurement begins. This ensures the sensor is properly prepared and calibrated in advance, maintaining high measurement precision while eliminating time-consuming manual setup procedures
