Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional methods are used to identify seasonal products, then measurement precision may be adequate, but the process becomes computationally intensive and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the seasonal component from price time series data using wavelet transformation, separating it from the non-seasonal components. This allows the system to focus computational resources only on identifying and modeling the seasonal patterns, rather than analyzing the entire complex price series, thereby improving detection accuracy while reducing overall computational burden.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the price time series into different frequency components using wavelet decomposition. By dividing the complex seasonal detection problem into multiple frequency bands, the system can efficiently identify seasonal patterns at different scales, improving detection precision while making the computational process more manageable and faster.
2Reliability
If comprehensive margin calculations are performed for all products, then reliability of margin requirements is improved, but the calculation time increases and regulatory deadlines cannot be met
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary identification of seasonal products using wavelet analysis before conducting full margin calculations. By pre-classifying products as seasonal or non-seasonal based on their price series characteristics, the system can apply appropriate margin models in advance, ensuring accurate margin requirements while significantly reducing the time needed for final margin calculations to meet regulatory deadlines.
3Productivity
If simple detection methods are used, then processing speed improves, but the ability to accurately identify seasonal products deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical or manual seasonal detection methods with wavelet transformation, a mathematical signal processing technique. This substitution enables the system to rapidly analyze price time series and accurately identify seasonal patterns through automated computational algorithms, achieving both high detection speed and high identification accuracy simultaneously.

AI summary
A physical container (e.g., a battery) may be filled up (charged) or emptied (discharged) with energy commensurate with requirements to post a particular amount of collateral. The disclosure provides computing systems and methods for processing data using a novel combination of wavelet techniques and rolling techniques to more efficiently detect seasonality in particular products (e.g., energy products) to more accurately model and determine collateral/margin requirements. A clearinghouse computing device may be configured to generate a margin requirement for a portfolio of products and may include a processor to process instructions that cause the clearinghouse computing device to perform wavelet decomposition and rolling methods on a historical database of records.
