Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional data packet transfer methods are used, then data transfer can be performed, but the system is susceptible to anomalies, malicious activities, and delays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transfer reliabilityVSAvoidmalicious activities and anomalies
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates synthetic images that replicate the appearance and structure of legitimate interaction images. These synthetic copies are generated using machine learning models trained on legitimate interaction data, allowing the system to compare and validate incoming images against authentic patterns without directly transmitting sensitive data packets

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an image-based intermediary system that mediates between the initiating device and the receiving device. Instead of direct data packet communication, interactions are converted to images, validated against synthetic images, and processed through machine learning models that act as intermediaries to detect anomalies before settlement occurs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If image-based data transfer with machine learning validation is implemented, then anomaly detection accuracy improves, but computing resource usage and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-generating synthetic images and training machine learning models before actual validation is needed. The synthetic images are created in advance using legitimate interaction data, and the machine learning models are trained beforehand, so that during actual validation, the system only needs to compare incoming images against the pre-prepared synthetic images, significantly reducing real-time processing requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses lightweight image processing techniques and efficient machine learning validation that consume minimal computing resources. The synthetic images serve as disposable validation references that can be quickly generated and discarded, and the validation process uses optimized algorithms that provide high accuracy with low computational overhead, enabling fast processing suitable for real-time transactions

Inventive Principle:
