Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If machine learning algorithms (SVM, DNN, MLP) are used for intrusion detection, then detection accuracy can be improved, but training time and detection time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoiddetection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the intrusion detection task into two distinct phases: an offline training phase using machine learning algorithms to build detection models, and an online detection phase using these pre-trained models for real-time traffic analysis. This segmentation allows complex training to occur when time is not critical, while real-time detection uses lightweight models for speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-training detection models offline using historical traffic data and attack patterns. These pre-trained models are then deployed for real-time detection, eliminating the need for time-consuming training during actual intrusion detection operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If deep learning models are trained on large datasets to improve detection accuracy, then false alarm rate decreases, but computational resources and training time increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the computational workload into offline model training (using large datasets to reduce false alarms) and online detection (using pre-trained models with minimal computation). This segmentation allows extensive training to occur when computational resources are available, while real-time operation consumes minimal energy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates copies of pre-trained detection models that can be deployed across multiple IoV nodes. Once a model is trained with extensive computational resources, identical copies can be distributed and executed efficiently on resource-constrained devices without requiring the same level of computational power.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms intrusion detection from a protocol-specific task to a pattern recognition task by changing the parameters from protocol fields to traffic flow features. This parameter transformation enables the use of machine learning models that can generalize across diverse IoV protocols and complex network topologies without requiring protocol-specific detection logic.
