Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If on-premises computation is used for machine learning tasks, then cost is reduced, but time and security are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecostVSAvoidtime and security
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments machine learning tasks into different components that can be executed on different platforms. Critical security-sensitive operations are performed on secure on-premises resources, while computational-intensive tasks are offloaded to cloud providers, achieving both cost efficiency and security maintenance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges on-premises and cloud computing resources into a hybrid cloud architecture. This combination allows the system to leverage the security advantages of on-premises infrastructure while utilizing the scalability and cost-effectiveness of cloud services, resolving the contradiction between cost and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If public cloud services are used for machine learning tasks, then time and security are improved, but cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime and securityVSAvoidcost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments workloads by prioritizing security-critical operations for on-premises execution and reserving cloud resources for computational-intensive tasks, thereby reducing overall cloud spending while maintaining security and performance standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by executing security-sensitive operations locally on-premises while using cloud resources for tasks where their computational power is most beneficial, optimizing the cost-performance ratio for each specific workload type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Loss of energy

If hybrid cloud is used for machine learning tasks, then cost-effectiveness is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecost-effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a cloud broker as an intermediary layer that manages the complexity of hybrid cloud orchestration. The broker handles resource allocation, task distribution, and coordination between on-premises and cloud resources, making the complex hybrid system manageable for end users while maintaining cost-effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service capabilities where the hybrid cloud platform automatically optimizes resource allocation and task distribution without requiring manual intervention. This automation reduces the operational burden on users despite the underlying system complexity, enabling cost-effective hybrid cloud utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
