Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If user data is shared with AI vendors or developers for algorithm training and verification, then AI algorithm effectiveness can be verified, but secret information disclosure risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a simulation apparatus as an intermediary that receives user data locally and simulates AI algorithm training and verification. This mediator enables effectiveness verification without direct data sharing with external vendors, thus resolving the contradiction between verification reliability and security risk

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The simulation apparatus creates a copy of the AI algorithm training environment on the user's side. By copying the necessary computational functions to the user's device, the system allows verification of AI effectiveness while keeping original data localized, eliminating the need to share sensitive information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If extensive communication and knowledge transfer are conducted between users and AI vendors, then appropriate algorithm selection can be achieved, but time and effort are significantly consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealgorithm selection appropriatenessVSAvoidcommunication and knowledge transfer time
Core Design Contradiction:
