Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional data analytics methods are used with human interaction, then data can be analyzed, but the process is time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analysis efficiencyVSAvoidtime for data analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated data analysis through AI-driven cognitive advisors that independently process and analyze data from multiple systems without requiring human intervention. The knowledge graph automatically correlates data points and generates insights, allowing the system to serve itself in the data analysis process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual human interaction in data analysis is replaced by automated computational systems. The patent substitutes mechanical human processes with electronic data processing, machine learning algorithms, and automated correlation engines that can analyze data much faster and with fewer resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of information

If data from multiple systems is correlated manually, then inter-relationships can be determined, but the process is difficult and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinter-relationship insightsVSAvoidtime to determine relationships
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The knowledge graph serves as a universal data structure that can correlate data from multiple different systems and data types simultaneously. It provides a multi-functional platform that handles various data formats and relationship types through a single unified approach, making the correlation process efficient and comprehensive.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The knowledge graph acts as an intermediary layer between multiple data systems. It mediates the correlation process by standardizing data representations and providing a common framework for establishing relationships across diverse data sources, thereby simplifying the complex task of determining inter-relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of energy

If limited time is spent on data modeling, then resources are conserved, but insights from asset data are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputational resourcesVSAvoidasset data insights
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data modeling and correlation in advance by continuously building and updating the knowledge graph with data from multiple systems. This preliminary action prepares the data structure so that when analysis is needed, the foundational relationships are already established, reducing the need for intensive real-time computational resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The knowledge graph maintenance and data correlation processes run continuously in the background, constantly refining and updating relationships between data points. This continuous useful action ensures that insights are always available without requiring periodic intensive computational bursts, thereby conserving resources while maintaining high-quality insights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
