1Reliability

If general users attempt to select appropriate network devices to address performance limitations or specification-related network failures, then they can resolve network issues, but they face challenges due to the complexity of understanding communication state information between network devices and terminals

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an information processing device that acts as an intermediary between network devices and general users. This device automatically acquires communication state information from network devices, performs neural network calculations to determine device characteristics, and presents simplified selection criteria to users. The intermediary translates complex technical data into user-friendly recommendations, enabling general users to resolve network failures without needing specialized knowledge.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically performing the complex analysis that would otherwise require specialized knowledge. The information processing device autonomously acquires communication state information, executes neural network calculations to determine device characteristics, and generates replacement device recommendations without human intervention in the analysis process. This allows general users to independently resolve network failures by following the system's guidance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If network administrators manually analyze communication state information to determine appropriate replacement devices, then they can make informed decisions, but it requires specialized knowledge and increases the time needed to resolve failures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice selection accuracyVSAvoidfailure resolution time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of analyzing communication state information with an automated neural network system. The information processing device uses machine learning models to automatically process communication state data, determine device characteristics, and recommend replacement devices. This substitution of automated intelligent processing for manual analysis maintains high accuracy in device selection while dramatically reducing the time required to resolve network failures.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating device characteristics and preparing replacement device recommendations before actual network failures occur. The information processing device continuously monitors network devices, performs neural network calculations to determine characteristics, and maintains ready-to-use replacement recommendations. When a failure occurs, the system can immediately present pre-analyzed options to users, eliminating the time needed for on-the-spot analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If the system stores detailed communication state information for analysis, then it can provide accurate device recommendations, but it increases the computational burden and cost of recalculating neural network weights with new devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation accuracyVSAvoidcomputation cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and stores only the essential device characteristics determined by neural network calculations, rather than retaining all raw communication state information. The information processing device processes communication state data through neural networks to extract key characteristics such as device performance metrics and compatibility parameters. By storing only these extracted essential features rather than complete raw data, the system maintains recommendation accuracy while significantly reducing the computational burden and storage requirements for future calculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
