Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for training machine learning models for data-driven decision-making are time-consuming and prone to errors, especially when dealing with limited data volumes, which limits their applicability in real-time applications.

Innovation Solution

A method involving the capture of measurement data using sensors, which are then processed to create time series data. This data is used to train multiple instances of the same machine learning model, each with different classification data units and selected portions of the data, allowing for improved decision-making and automation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple machine learning models are trained on complete datasets to improve decision-making quality, then the reliability of decision-making improves, but the training time and computational resources increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality of decision-makingVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and utilizes only the selected portion of data that is most relevant for training, rather than processing complete datasets. This extraction approach maintains training effectiveness while significantly reducing the time and computational resources required, directly resolving the contradiction between decision-making quality and training time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by training models on selected portions of data rather than complete datasets. The system determines that processing a carefully selected subset of data is sufficient to achieve the required decision-making quality, avoiding the excessive time and resource consumption that would result from processing all available data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Reliability

If thousands of datasets are used to train AI models to reduce errors, then the reliability of the model improves, but the complexity of the system and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror rate of AI modelVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential selected portion of data needed for effective training, eliminating the need to manage and process thousands of complete datasets. This extraction strategy maintains model reliability while significantly reducing system complexity and data processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of using complete datasets and hoping to achieve good results, the patent inverts the approach by first selecting a specific portion of data and then training models on this curated subset. This inversion leads to more efficient training with fewer resources while maintaining or improving model reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

3Ease of operation

If traditional analysis tools are developed for monitored systems to enable data-driven decision-making, then the decision-making capability improves, but the adaptability to system changes deteriorates due to complex reconfiguration requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata-driven decision-making capabilityVSAvoidadaptability to system changes
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal training framework that can handle different monitored systems and data types through the same selected portion extraction and model training process. This universal approach enables the system to adapt to changes in monitored systems without requiring complex reconfiguration, as the core training methodology remains consistent across different applications.

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