VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional recurrent neural networks are used for time-series prediction, then the system can process sequential data, but the prediction accuracy for complex trends and fluctuations is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the time-series data into trend components and residual components through decomposition. This segmentation allows the model to separately analyze and predict different characteristics of the data, improving overall prediction accuracy by handling complex patterns in a structured manner

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the input data by calculating differences between consecutive time points and computing power terms (squared values). These parameter transformations enhance the model's ability to capture temporal dynamics and non-linear patterns, thereby improving prediction accuracy for complex trends

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If more complex models are used to capture complex trends, then prediction accuracy improves, but computational cost and data requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
