Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If existing predictive data analysis solutions process all location data objects, then prediction accuracy is maintained, but computational load and resource requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidcomputational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments location data objects into cohorts based on shared characteristics (demographics, geography, behavior patterns). Instead of processing all location data objects individually, the system processes cohort-level aggregated data, reducing computational complexity while maintaining prediction accuracy through representative sampling of cohort members.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates synthetic cohort representations that capture the essential characteristics of location data objects without processing each individual object. These cohort proxies serve as representative copies that enable predictive analysis at a reduced computational scale while preserving the predictive power of the original detailed data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If the system processes all location data objects for predictive analysis, then comprehensive predictions are achieved, but storage resources and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction reliabilityVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple location data objects into unified cohort entities by aggregating their shared characteristics. This consolidation reduces the total quantity of data objects from millions of individual location records to a manageable number of cohort representations, while maintaining prediction reliability through the aggregated statistical properties of the cohorts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and retains only the essential characteristics needed for predictive analysis (demographic profiles, geographic attributes, behavior patterns) while discarding redundant detailed information about individual location objects. This extraction reduces data volume to the minimum necessary for reliable predictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Measurement precision

If detailed individual location data is processed, then granular predictions are achieved, but system complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction granularityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary cohort formation and characteristic aggregation before conducting predictive analysis. By pre-computing and storing cohort-level statistics and prototypes, the system eliminates the need to process individual location objects during prediction time, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining granular prediction capability through the pre-aggregated cohort data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
