Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If user grouping and personality analysis rely on data scientist intuition, then the process is simple to implement, but the classification precision and analysis accuracy are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an AI model as an intermediary between raw user attribute data and personality analysis results. The model automatically performs classification and contribution degree calculation, eliminating the need for manual intuition-based analysis while maintaining high precision through learned patterns from training data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual data analysis by data scientists with an automated AI-based system. The machine learning model substitutes human intuition with algorithmic decision-making, achieving consistent and precise classification without manual intervention

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

2Measurement precision

If automated classification systems are introduced to improve precision, then analysis accuracy improves, but the system complexity and computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-training the AI model on comprehensive user attribute data before actual classification. The model learns optimal classification boundaries and attribute importance weights in advance, enabling fast and accurate online classification without complex real-time computations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a simplified representation of complex user data through the trained model's classification output and contribution degrees. Instead of processing all raw attributes during classification, the system uses the pre-learned model to generate concise personality descriptions that capture essential patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Loss of information

If contribution degree calculation is performed for each user to identify characterizing attributes, then the ability to find group-characterizing attributes improves, but the computational load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattribute characterizationVSAvoidcomputational power
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential contribution degree information needed for personality characterization from the full set of user attributes. By focusing on the most significant attributes that differentiate clusters, the system avoids computing and storing all possible attribute combinations, reducing computational overhead while preserving key insights

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
