Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If performance measures are computed and distributed for each individual sub-model, then model performance monitoring coverage is improved, but alert noise and computational overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel performance monitoring coverageVSAvoidalert noise
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines performance measures from multiple sub-models into a single aggregated performance measure. The aggregation job consolidates individual sub-model performance metrics and applies aggregation logic to produce one comprehensive performance indicator, thereby reducing alert noise while maintaining monitoring coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The aggregation job serves as an intermediary between individual sub-model performance measurements and the final alerting system. It processes and consolidates performance data from multiple sources before generating alerts, filtering out minor variations and focusing on significant performance deviations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-generated harmful factors

If performance measures are aggregated from multiple sub-models, then alert noise is reduced, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealert noiseVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the performance monitoring function into distinct components: individual sub-model performance measurement jobs and a separate aggregation job. This segmentation allows each component to focus on a specific task, simplifying the overall computational structure while achieving noise reduction through aggregation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Performance measures are pre-computed for each sub-model before aggregation. This preliminary computation allows the aggregation job to work with pre-processed data, reducing its computational burden and enabling efficient consolidation of performance metrics from multiple sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If performance measures are computed frequently, then predictive accuracy monitoring is improved, but computational resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictive accuracy monitoringVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic performance measurement through scheduled reporting jobs. Individual sub-model performance is measured at regular intervals, and aggregation jobs consolidate these periodic measurements. This periodic approach balances monitoring precision with computational resource management by avoiding continuous computation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
