Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a multilayered convolutional computing system is used to learn trained weights from audio and video information, then cognitive state analysis accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecognitive state analysis accuracyVSAvoidcomputing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The computing system is divided into multiple specialized components: audio information processing module, video information processing module, trained weight storage module, and cognitive state determination module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, allowing the complex overall function to be achieved through coordinated simpler subsystems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary learning of trained weights from audio and video information before actual cognitive state analysis. This pre-training phase prepares the weight matrices and bias vectors in advance, so that during operation, the system can quickly determine cognitive states without performing complex real-time learning computations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive audio and video information is captured and analyzed, then cognitive state analysis accuracy is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system learns and stores trained weights from audio and video information in advance during a training phase. This preliminary action separates the computationally intensive learning process from the real-time analysis phase, enabling fast cognitive state determination during actual vehicle operation without time-consuming real-time weight learning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses captured audio and video information to create trained weight representations that are stored and reused for multiple cognitive state analyses. Instead of re-processing raw audio and video data each time, the system applies pre-learned weight matrices to new input data, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining analysis accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Techniques for machine-trained analysis for multimodal machine learning vehicle manipulation are described. A computing device captures a plurality of information channels, wherein the plurality of information channels includes contemporaneous audio information and video information from an individual. A multilayered convolutional computing system learns trained weights using the audio information and the video information from the plurality of information channels. The trained weights cover both the audio information and the video information and are trained simultaneously. The learning facilitates cognitive state analysis of the audio information and the video information. A computing device within a vehicle captures further information and analyzes the further information using trained weights. The further information that is analyzed enables vehicle manipulation. The further information can include only video data or only audio data. The further information can include a cognitive state metric.
