Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional manual coding methods are used to solve business problems, then customization capability is improved, but development time and cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization capabilityVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses template-based model copying where pre-defined analytical models can be replicated and reused across different business problems. Instead of manually coding each solution from scratch, users can copy existing models and customize them, dramatically reducing development time while maintaining adaptability to different business scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The platform implements universal model templates that can serve multiple business problems. A single analytical model template can be applied to various business scenarios with different parameters and configurations, eliminating the need for separate manual coding for each problem and reducing overall development time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If extensive manual coding is performed for each business problem, then problem-specific accuracy is improved, but productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproblem-specific accuracyVSAvoiddevelopment productivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By copying and reusing validated model templates, the system maintains high problem-specific accuracy while avoiding redundant coding work. The templates encapsulate proven analytical logic that can be accurately applied to new problems through configuration rather than rewriting, thus preserving accuracy while boosting productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements pre-defined model templates that contain pre-coded analytical logic and algorithms. This preliminary action of creating reusable templates in advance allows users to quickly deploy accurate solutions without performing extensive manual coding for each new business problem, thereby maintaining accuracy while improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of energy

If existing infrastructure investments are relied upon, then cost efficiency is improved, but adaptability to emerging devices and services deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecost efficiencyVSAvoidadaptability to emerging devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The platform uses universal data models and ontologies that can represent both existing and emerging devices and services. This universal framework allows the system to work with current infrastructure investments while simultaneously adapting to new devices and services without requiring complete system redesign, thus maintaining cost efficiency while improving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic model templates that can be configured and updated to accommodate emerging devices and services. The system allows runtime adaptation of model parameters and data sources, enabling infrastructure to evolve with new technologies while leveraging existing investments, thereby balancing cost efficiency with adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Quantity of substance

If data from multiple sources is integrated, then comprehensiveness of analysis is improved, but data governance complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata comprehensivenessVSAvoiddata governance complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an ontology layer as an intermediary between diverse data sources and analytical models. This ontology acts as a standardized mediation framework that translates various data formats and structures into a common representation, enabling comprehensive data integration while simplifying governance by providing a unified data model that masks the underlying complexity of multiple sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
