Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If deep learning models are stored within application containers, then models can be deployed with applications, but model management becomes constrained and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel management flexibilityVSAvoidmanagement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent separates deep learning model storage from application container storage by introducing a dedicated local intelligence storage unit. This segmentation allows models to be managed independently from applications, enabling flexible model updates, version control, and sharing without requiring application redeployment, thus resolving the management constraints while maintaining deployment capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a model management unit as an intermediary component that mediates between the local intelligence storage and application containers. This intermediary handles model installation, updating, and version management, simplifying the complexity of direct model-container coupling while maintaining the ability to deploy models with applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If deep learning models are stored within application containers, then models are deployed with applications, but updates and version changes cause service delays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeployment efficiencyVSAvoidservice delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables preliminary model preparation and validation in the local intelligence storage before deployment to containers. Models can be pre-processed, validated, and staged for deployment without interrupting running applications, reducing service delays during model updates and version changes while improving overall deployment efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If deep learning models are stored within application containers, then models are bundled with applications, but model sharing and utilization are constrained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel utilizationVSAvoidmodel deployment ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal local intelligence storage that serves multiple functions: storing models for multiple applications, enabling model sharing across different containers, supporting version control, and facilitating model updates. This multi-functional storage improves model utilization and sharing while maintaining ease of deployment through standardized access interfaces

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

AI summary

Proposed is a computing device for operating an artificial intelligence (AI) service. The computing device may include a local intelligence storage, in which a deep learning model for AI applications based on a container is stored. The computing device may also include a local intelligence/model management unit configured to scan the local intelligence storage to identify information on the deep learning model installed in the computing device and provide the identified information on the deep learning model through a network interface. The local intelligence/model management unit may manage the deep learning model to be stored on the local intelligence storage that is independent from the container.
