Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional recommendation algorithms are used, then the system is simple to implement, but the recommendation accuracy and matching degree are low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the recommendation system into multiple components: constructing an association information network graph from social relationship data, extracting relationship feature information, building a graph convolutional network model with specific layers (embedding layer, graph convolutional layers, pooling layer, fully connected layer), and separately processing different relationship types. This segmentation allows the complex task of accurate recommendation to be broken down into manageable processing stages, improving accuracy while organizing system complexity systematically

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an association information network graph as an intermediary structure that connects target objects with their adjacent objects through defined relationship types. This graph structure serves as a mediator between raw social data and recommendation outputs, enabling the system to capture and process relationship features systematically. The graph convolutional network then processes this intermediary representation to generate accurate recommendations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If relationship feature information is extracted using graph convolutional networks, then the matching degree improves, but the computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematching degreeVSAvoidcomputational energy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-construcing the association information network graph and pre-extracting relationship feature information before the actual recommendation process. The graph convolutional network model is pre-trained with specific configurations (number of layers, learning rate, batch size) to establish efficient processing patterns. This preliminary setup enables faster, more energy-efficient inference during actual recommendation operations while maintaining high matching degree

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic adjustments in the graph convolutional network processing by adaptively selecting which relationship types to process based on their relevance to the target object. The system dynamically adjusts the scope of relationship feature extraction and processing intensity, allowing it to maintain high matching degree while optimizing computational energy consumption by focusing resources on the most relevant relationship features

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
