Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If text-type medical data is used directly for AI learning, then the system can process unstructured data, but the data normalization and structuring become difficult due to ambiguity and varying lengths

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to process unstructured text dataVSAvoiddata normalization and structuring quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary conversion process that transforms text-type medical data into image-type data. This intermediary representation serves as a bridge between unstructured text and structured AI learning requirements, enabling the system to process text data while achieving proper normalization and structuring through the image conversion process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fundamental parameter of data representation from text format to image format. By converting text-type medical data into image-type data with standardized dimensions and structures, the system transforms the data into a form that is both adaptable for processing and precisely structured for AI learning, resolving the contradiction between versatility and precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If natural language processing methods are used for text-type data, then word substitution with numbers can be achieved, but the data length normalization and meaning ambiguity remain problematic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveword substitution accuracyVSAvoiddata length consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces image-type data as an intermediary representation between text processing and AI learning. This intermediary form preserves the semantic information from natural language processing while providing stable, normalized dimensions that solve the data length consistency problem. The image representation maintains measurement precision from word substitution while adding structural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Manufacturing precision

If standard terminology systems are used for medical data, then data standardization can be achieved, but coding efforts increase and uncoded data cannot be included

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata standardization qualityVSAvoidcoding effort and system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a visual copy or representation of text-type medical data in the form of image-type data. This copying approach captures the essential information and standardization benefits without requiring complex coding systems. The image representation preserves data standardization quality while avoiding the complexity of extensive coding efforts and the limitation of excluding uncoded data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

4Loss of information

If text-based data is used to represent patient conditions over time, then the original information can be maintained, but temporal trends and disease progression become difficult to process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation preservationVSAvoidtemporal trend processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions data from a one-dimensional text format to a two-dimensional image format. This dimensional change enables the representation of temporal trends and disease progression in a structured visual format that AI systems can process efficiently. The image representation preserves the information from text while adding spatial and temporal dimensions that improve processing productivity for analyzing patient conditions over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
