1Ease of operation

If manual data segmentation is performed by users, then the process allows for human judgment and flexibility, but the process is slow and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanual controlVSAvoidsegmentation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs data segmentation automatically without requiring manual user intervention. The machine learning model independently analyzes data, selects parameters, and generates segments, enabling the system to serve itself rather than relying on human operators for each segmentation task.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of data segmentation with an automated machine learning system. The ML model substitutes human judgment and manual operations with algorithmic processing, dramatically increasing segmentation speed while maintaining intelligent decision-making capabilities.

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

2Reliability

If manual data segmentation is performed, then user judgment can be applied, but the process is dependent on individual user expertise

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The machine learning model transforms the segmentation process by changing from manual parameter selection to automated parameter analysis. The system evaluates multiple parameters simultaneously using algorithms, converting subjective user judgment into objective, reproducible computational assessments that are not dependent on individual expertise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the complex segmentation process into distinct computational components: data preprocessing, parameter selection, model training, and segment generation. This modular approach simplifies the overall process while maintaining high reliability through specialized algorithms for each component.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The machine learning system performs multiple functions within a single unified framework: data preprocessing, parameter selection, model training, validation, and segment generation. This multi-functionality increases productivity while managing complexity by consolidating operations into an integrated system rather than separate manual processes.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the ML model is trained on labeled data, generates predictions, and is validated against actual outcomes. This feedback loop continuously improves segmentation accuracy and maintains system reliability despite the increased complexity of automated processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for data segmentation using machine learning. A data segmentation system prioritizes parameters used for segmenting data into predetermined categories. For example, the data segmentation system uses linear regression to determine signal strength values for the individual parameters. The signal strength values can be used to automatically select a set of parameters for segmenting data, determine weights for the parameters and/or determine threshold segmentation values.
