Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual policy optimization is performed by highly skilled personnel, then policy quality and system reliability are improved, but operation time and labor costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepolicy qualityVSAvoidoperation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by allowing operators to input natural language requirements without needing deep expertise in IT architecture or policy formulation. The machine learning model automatically generates optimized control policies, making the system serve itself by converting simple inputs into complex policy configurations that previously required skilled personnel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of manual policy creation and optimization with an automated machine learning-based system. Instead of relying on human experts to manually analyze requirements and formulate policies, the system uses natural language processing and machine learning models to automatically generate control policies, substituting human cognitive work with automated computational processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Manufacturing precision

If comprehensive understanding of IT architecture and service processes is required, then policy accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepolicy accuracyVSAvoidease of policy creation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces natural language as an intermediary between the operator and the complex IT architecture. Instead of requiring operators to directly understand and manipulate complex technical parameters and architecture details, they interact through natural language which the machine learning model translates into accurate control policies. This intermediary layer shields users from technical complexity while maintaining policy accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system substitutes the need for human understanding of complex IT architecture with automated machine learning models that inherently understand these relationships. The models have been trained on architectural knowledge and service processes, replacing the need for human operators to possess this expertise while maintaining high policy accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic adjustment of policies is implemented, then system adaptability is improved, but complexity of management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem adaptabilityVSAvoidmanagement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic policy adjustment by enabling the system to continuously monitor operational data and automatically update control policies in response to changing conditions. The machine learning models can retrain and regenerate policies based on new information, allowing the system to adapt dynamically without manual intervention for each change.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides self-service for dynamic adjustments by automatically detecting when policy changes are needed and generating updated policies without requiring manual management intervention. The machine learning models continuously optimize policies based on operational feedback, making the system self-managing and reducing the complexity of dynamic policy management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
