Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual correction is used for transcription errors, then the system can correct errors, but the process is not scalable and affects downstream system performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranscription accuracyVSAvoidcorrection scalability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical correction processes with an automated LLM-based system. The LLM receives transcription output, analyzes it against the prompt guidelines, and generates corrected transcriptions automatically, eliminating the need for manual intervention while maintaining high accuracy and enabling scalability.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service correction where the LLM autonomously performs the correction task without human involvement. The multi-tool prompt structure allows the LLM to independently navigate complex correction scenarios, making the system self-sufficient and scalable for large volumes of transcriptions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Device complexity

If conventional correction methods are used, then the system structure remains simple, but accuracy and scalability are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structureVSAvoidtranscription accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the correction process into distinct functional components through the multi-tool prompt structure: error detection, error correction, and quality verification. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while working together to achieve high accuracy, justifying the increased structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The LLM serves multiple functions within the correction system: it detects errors, generates corrections, verifies accuracy, and handles edge cases. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate systems into a single versatile component, improving accuracy while managing complexity through integration.

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

3Productivity

If automated LLM-based correction is implemented, then scalability and accuracy improve, but computational resources and latency increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrection scalabilityVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial correction by using the LLM only when and where needed, rather than processing all transcriptions uniformly. The multi-tool prompt enables selective engagement of correction mechanisms based on detected error patterns, reducing unnecessary computational resources while maintaining high scalability for actual error cases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of the transcription against the prompt guidelines before full correction processing. This preliminary step identifies potential errors and determines the extent of LLM intervention needed, optimizing resource consumption by avoiding unnecessary computational heavy lifting for straightforward transcriptions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Techniques for large language model (LLM)-based correction based on a multi-tool prompt are described. In an example, a computer system receives, via a user interface, user input including user-provided information and indicating a request for a task to be performed on the user-provided information. The computer system generates, by using an LLM associated with a prompt, a first input to a first tool based on the user input. The prompt indicating a sequence of steps to perform for the task and tools available to the LLM. The first tool corresponds to a first step of the sequence of steps. The computer system determines, by using the LLM, a first output of the first tool in response to the first input and an update to the user-provided information based on the first output and a completion of the task. The computer system causes the user interface to present the update.
