Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple neural network models are trained iteratively with fuzzy probability values and loss parameters, then image detection accuracy is improved, but device complexity and training time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage detection accuracyVSAvoidmodel training complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the training process into multiple iterative stages, where in each iteration only certain neural network models are selected for training based on loss parameter thresholds. This divides the complex multi-model training into manageable segments, reducing overall training complexity while maintaining accuracy improvements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by selectively training only a subset of neural network models in each iteration rather than training all models simultaneously. Models are selected based on whether their loss parameters exceed predefined thresholds, allowing the system to achieve accuracy improvements without the full computational burden of training all models in every iteration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Measurement precision

If multiple neural network models are trained iteratively with fuzzy probability values and loss parameters, then image detection accuracy is improved, but training time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage detection accuracyVSAvoidmodel training time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action through iterative training cycles where models are selected and trained based on periodic evaluation of loss parameters. In each iteration, the system periodically assesses which models exceed threshold values and trains only those models, creating a rhythmic training pattern that reduces total training time compared to continuous training of all models.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

By training only a partial subset of models in each iteration based on loss parameter thresholds, the system reduces the time investment required per iteration while still achieving cumulative accuracy improvements across multiple iterations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Ease of manufacture

If simple binary labels are used for training samples, then training process is simplified, but detection accuracy deteriorates due to inaccurate labels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining process simplicityVSAvoiddetection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter representation from simple binary labels to fuzzy probability values that capture uncertainty in labeling. Instead of using discrete 0 or 1 labels, the system employs continuous probability values between 0 and 1, allowing the training process to account for label ambiguity while maintaining relative simplicity in the training framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces loss parameters as an intermediary mechanism that bridges the gap between simple binary labels and accurate detection. The loss parameters serve as mediators that quantify the discrepancy between predicted fuzzy probabilities and target labels, enabling the system to handle label inaccuracies without requiring complex labeled data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
