Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual division of operation logs is performed by visually confirming the log, then the division can be performed with understanding of system structure, but it requires large operation and time to handle large amount of logs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of visually examining and dividing logs with an automated determination device that uses algorithms to analyze attribute values and automatically identify division positions, thereby eliminating the time-consuming manual operation while maintaining accurate division based on system structure understanding
Solution Approach 2:
The determination device enables the log division process to serve itself by automatically analyzing the operation logs, identifying case boundaries through attribute value relationships, and performing division without requiring human intervention, thus resolving the contradiction between accuracy and time consumption
2Extent of automation
If fixed rule algorithm is used for automatic division, then the operation is automated, but it is difficult to adapt to different system internal structures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic determination process where the device analyzes the actual attribute values and relationships in the operation logs to adaptively identify division positions, rather than applying a static fixed rule algorithm. This allows the system to automatically adapt to different system internal structures while maintaining automation
Solution Approach 2:
The determination device changes the approach from using fixed rules to analyzing variable attribute value relationships, where the division determination is based on the actual parameters and patterns found in each specific log set, enabling both automation and adaptability to different system structures
3Ease of operation
If manual division is performed, then the worker can understand the meaning of attribute values, but it requires specialized knowledge of system structure and attribute values
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the need for human workers to understand and interpret system structures and attribute values with an automated determination device that performs this analysis programmatically, thereby simplifying the operation to merely initiating the automated process while eliminating the need for specialized knowledge
Solution Approach 2:
The determination device acts as an intermediary between the raw operation logs and the division result, automatically interpreting attribute values and system structures without requiring the end user to possess specialized knowledge, thus easing the operation while handling the complexity internally

AI summary
A determination device (10) receives designation of a division position of a log, and creates a rule for determining the division position of the log on the basis of a relationship between attribute values of log events before and after the received division position. Then, the determination device (10) determines a division position of a log to be processed by using the created rule.
