Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If extensive training epochs are used for machine learning models, then incident identification accuracy is improved, but resource utilization time increases and hardware lifespan decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveincident identification accuracyVSAvoidhardware lifespan
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training foundation models before they are needed for incident identification. The models are trained in advance on historical incident data and stored for later use. When an incident occurs, the pre-trained model can immediately process the incident without requiring extensive training at the time of detection, thus improving identification accuracy while avoiding prolonged resource utilization that would reduce hardware lifespan.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by creating a pre-trained model that replicates the knowledge and patterns learned from extensive training data. Instead of performing extensive training epochs at the time of incident detection, the system copies the learned patterns into a pre-trained model that can quickly and accurately identify incidents, thereby maintaining high accuracy while reducing the time hardware needs to be actively trained.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If extensive training epochs are used for machine learning models, then incident identification accuracy is improved, but resource utilization time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveincident identification accuracyVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary training of foundation models in advance, storing the trained models for rapid deployment. When an incident occurs, the pre-trained model can immediately process the incident data without requiring time-consuming training epochs, thus achieving high identification accuracy while minimizing response time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent copies learned patterns and knowledge into pre-trained models that are ready for immediate use. This copying approach allows the system to maintain high incident identification accuracy while avoiding the time loss associated with performing extensive training epochs at the moment of incident detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Use of energy by moving object

If pre-trained models with limited training are used, then resource consumption is reduced, but incident identification accuracy may decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputing resourcesVSAvoidincident identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the training process into two phases: an initial phase where foundation models are trained on comprehensive historical incident data, and a subsequent phase where the pre-trained models are deployed for incident identification. This segmentation allows the system to invest computing resources upfront during training, then minimize resource consumption during operation while maintaining high accuracy through the pre-trained models' learned patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary training action during the foundation model development phase, where extensive computing resources are allocated to learn from historical incident data. Once the models are pre-trained, the system can reduce computing resource consumption during incident detection while maintaining high identification accuracy, as the models already contain the necessary learned patterns and knowledge.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
