Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional map feedback collection methods are used, then users can report map errors, but the process is costly and distracting for users due to manual data entry requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser feedback reporting easeVSAvoiddata collection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically processes map feedback using LLMs to extract, classify, and structure data from user inputs without requiring manual intervention. The LLM autonomously handles data transformation from unstructured user feedback to structured formats, reducing user burden while maintaining operational simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical data entry processes with LLM-based automated processing. Instead of users manually filling out structured forms, the LLM extracts and structures data from natural language inputs, substituting the mechanical interaction model with an intelligent processing system

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

2Measurement precision

If LLMs are specifically trained for map feedback classification, then classification accuracy improves, but training costs and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemap error classification accuracyVSAvoidLLM training time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification using the LLM's general capabilities before detailed processing. By leveraging the LLM's pre-trained understanding of language and context, the system achieves effective classification without requiring additional specialized training, thus avoiding time loss while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a universal LLM that can handle multiple map feedback classification tasks without requiring separate training for each error type. The LLM's multi-functional nature allows it to adapt to different classification needs through prompt engineering rather than retraining, reducing both time and resource requirements

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

3Manufacturing precision

If detailed data collection prompts are provided to LLM, then map error reporting accuracy improves, but user interaction time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemap error report accuracyVSAvoiduser interaction duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements progressive data collection where the LLM requests only the necessary data fields based on the specific map error type and available information. Instead of always presenting all possible prompts, the system dynamically adjusts the number and type of questions, using partial action to reduce user interaction time while maintaining sufficient accuracy through targeted data collection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The LLM performs preliminary analysis of user feedback to determine which additional data fields are actually needed for accurate classification. By pre-assessing the completeness and quality of initial inputs, the system can avoid requesting unnecessary information, thus reducing user interaction time while preserving report accuracy through intelligent prompt selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An approach is provided for large language model (LLM) map feedback reporting. The approach involves, for example, processing an input specifying a map error/feedback using an LLM to classify a map error type. The approach also comprises determining a map error template based on the map error type that specifies structured data fields for the map error type. The approach further involves using the template to construct prompts for the LLM to generate questions to collect data items for populating the data fields, and providing the prompts to the LLM to generate the questions and collect the data items from the user. The approach further involves using template to generate additional prompts to generate a map error report of the data items in a structured data format, and providing the additional prompts to the LLM to generate the map error report for transmission to a map feedback system.
