Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the contribution degree is set high to prevent abnormal motion determination leakage, then the detection reliability is improved, but the risk of erroneous determination of standard motion increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveabnormal motion detection reliabilityVSAvoidstandard motion detection precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by calculating the distance between learning data and the subspace, then using this distance information to determine the suitability of the contribution degree. The system continuously adjusts the contribution degree based on feedback from distance calculations, ensuring optimal balance between detecting abnormal motions and avoiding false positives for standard motions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the contribution degree parameter dynamically based on analysis conditions. By adjusting this parameter according to the calculated distances and suitability evaluation, the system optimizes the balance between sensitivity to abnormal motions and tolerance for normal motion variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If extensive experimentation and data accumulation are performed to set the optimal contribution degree, then the detection accuracy is improved, but the time and effort required increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotion detection accuracyVSAvoidcontribution degree setting time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by automatically determining the suitable contribution degree using distance calculations from learning data before actual motion analysis begins. This preliminary determination eliminates the need for extensive experimentation and data accumulation during deployment, saving significant time and effort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically evaluating the suitability of contribution degrees through distance calculations and determining the optimal value without requiring external experimentation or manual tuning. The apparatus independently configures itself based on the learning data provided.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
