Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If statistical models are used for motion data analysis, then processing efficiency is improved, but data integrity and measurement precision deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoiddata integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a motion library containing copies of actual measured motion data from multiple sources. These data copies are stored and used for direct comparison with real-time motion data, replacing statistical models while maintaining processing efficiency through pre-organized data structures and similarity algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary data collection and organization by gathering actual motion data from various sources, processing it into standardized formats, and storing it in a motion library before real-time analysis is needed. This pre-processing enables fast comparison during actual motion analysis without sacrificing data integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Speed

If statistical models are used for motion comparison, then analysis speed is improved, but accuracy in quantification deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis speedVSAvoidquantification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of using statistical abstractions, the system stores and compares against actual measured motion data copies in the motion library. This allows direct comparison that preserves quantification accuracy while achieving speed through efficient data retrieval and similarity matching algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The motion data in the library is segmented into discrete motion patterns and organized by motion type, making it easier to quickly retrieve relevant comparison data during real-time analysis, thus maintaining both speed and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If actual measured data is stored in a motion library, then data integrity is maintained, but storage requirements and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integrityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The motion library serves multiple functions: storing actual measured data for integrity, organizing it by motion type for efficient retrieval, and enabling both qualitative and quantitative analysis. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity despite the detailed data storage.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms raw motion data into standardized parameters and formats before storing in the motion library. This parameter transformation maintains data integrity while reducing processing complexity during real-time analysis by working with normalized data structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
