Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for qualifying instructions are inaccurate due to the reliance on approximating the input site, which can lead to incorrect qualification determinations, and inefficient due to the need for additional qualification tests to approximate the site.

Innovation Solution

A computing device and method that qualify instructions based on the actual input site by analyzing and comparing data fields to an eligible input site inclusion listing, eliminating the need for some qualification tests and improving accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If approximation methods are used to determine input site, then processing complexity is reduced, but measurement precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing complexityVSAvoidinput site determination accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the input site information directly from the instruction data without requiring separate approximation tests. By taking out and utilizing the actual input site data that is already present in the instruction, the system eliminates the need for complex approximation methodologies while maintaining high precision in determining whether the instruction meets qualification requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Loss of time

If approximation tests are performed to determine input site, then processing time is reduced, but reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing timeVSAvoidqualification determination accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The instruction data itself provides the input site information needed for qualification determination. The system uses the input site data that is inherently contained within the instruction structure, allowing the data to serve its own qualification purpose without requiring external approximation tests. This self-service approach ensures both speed and reliability by using the actual rather than approximated information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If actual input site information is captured and used, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinput site determination accuracyVSAvoiddata field analysis complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The data field analysis capability serves multiple functions: it extracts the input site information for qualification determination, validates the instruction format, and prepares the data for subsequent processing steps. By making the data field analysis universal and multi-functional, the system achieves high measurement precision without proportionally increasing device complexity, as the same analytical infrastructure supports multiple operational requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A computing device, method and computer program product are provided to qualify an instruction based upon the input site of the instruction. In the context of a computing device, the computing device includes data field analysis circuitry to analyze data fields representing a respective instruction that has been received to determine a data field that defines the input site of the respective instruction. The computing device also includes data field comparison circuitry to compare the data field that defines the input site to an eligible input site inclusion listing to determine whether the input site of the instruction is included. The computing device also includes qualification test circuitry to perform one or more additional qualification tests and instruction qualification circuitry to qualify the instruction when the input site is included within the eligible input site inclusion listing and in which the one or more additional qualification tests are satisfied.
