Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If data is collected from multiple sources to enrich knowledge base, then information completeness is improved, but data management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the knowledge base into multiple data sources or collections, allowing independent management and processing of data from different sources. This segmentation enables the system to handle complex multi-source data while maintaining organizational structure and reducing overall management complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary components such as data processors, analyzers, and integration layers that mediate between raw multi-source data and the knowledge base. These intermediaries standardize and harmonize data from various sources, reducing management complexity while preserving information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If unstructured and incomplete data is incorporated, then knowledge base enrichment is improved, but data processing difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveknowledge base enrichmentVSAvoiddata processing difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions on unstructured and incomplete data before full integration, including initial cleaning, validation, and structuring. This preliminary processing reduces the difficulty of subsequent data operations while maintaining the enriching benefit of incorporating diverse data sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes to transform unstructured data into structured formats, adjusting data characteristics to make them more manageable. This includes converting data types, normalizing formats, and applying transformation rules that reduce processing difficulty while preserving essential information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If feature extraction and analysis is performed on multi-modal data, then information accuracy is improved, but computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoidcomputational requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial feature extraction, focusing on extracting only the most relevant features from multi-modal data rather than processing all possible features. This selective approach maintains information accuracy for critical features while reducing overall computational requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating processing intensity across different data types or features. High-accuracy processing is applied to critical features where precision is essential, while less intensive processing is used for secondary features, optimizing the balance between accuracy and computational cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
