Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional estimation methods are used to predict process duration and readiness, then the system is simple to implement, but the accuracy of predictions is low and performance varies widely

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical estimation methods with machine learning models that automatically learn patterns from historical data. The system uses neural networks and statistical models to predict process duration and readiness states, substituting manual or rule-based estimation mechanisms with data-driven intelligent systems that adapt to varying task characteristics

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

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning models automatically train and improve themselves using historical process data without requiring manual intervention for parameter tuning. The system self-optimizes by continuously learning from new data points, allowing it to adapt to different task types and improve prediction accuracy over time while maintaining operational simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If machine learning models are used to predict readiness and provide recommendations, then prediction accuracy improves, but computational resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereadiness prediction accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-training machine learning models offline using extensive historical datasets. This allows the models to be ready for deployment with pre-learned patterns, reducing the computational burden during actual prediction operations. The heavy computational work is done in advance rather than in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses simplified copies or approximations of complex machine learning models for real-time predictions. Once full models are trained offline, lighter versions or pre-computed predictions are used during operation to reduce computational resource consumption while maintaining acceptable accuracy levels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for using machine learning to improve processes for achieving readiness. In some implementations, a database is accessed to obtain status data that indicates activities or attributes of a subject. One or more readiness scores indicating a level of capability of the subject to satisfy one or more readiness criteria are generated. Data is accessed indicating multiple candidate actions for improving capability of the subject to satisfy one or more readiness criteria. A subset of the candidate actions for the subject are selected based on the one or more readiness scores generated using the one or more models. Output is provided to cause one or more of the actions in the selected subset to be performed or cause an indication one or more of the actions in the selected subset to be presented on a user interface.
