Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If manual labeling of thousands or tens of thousands of images is performed to train the neural network, then the training data quantity is sufficient, but the labor cost increases and work efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses the neural network itself to perform automatic labeling of images based on extracted definition features, making the system self-sufficient in data preparation. The neural network predicts definition labels for images without requiring manual intervention, thereby eliminating the need for labor-intensive manual labeling while maintaining sufficient training data quantity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual labeling process with an automated computational system. Instead of humans manually assigning labels, the system automatically extracts definition features and uses the neural network to generate labels, substituting human labor with automated mechanical processes.

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

2Quantity of substance

If manual labeling is performed to obtain image samples, then the labeling process can be completed, but the labeling accuracy is difficult to guarantee due to subjective judgments

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces subjective human judgment with objective automated feature extraction and neural network-based labeling. The system extracts definition features using computational methods and uses the trained neural network to generate consistent, objective labels, eliminating the variability and subjectivity inherent in manual labeling processes.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the neural network's predicted labels are used to expand the training dataset iteratively. The extracted definition features provide feedback that guides the labeling process, ensuring consistency and accuracy by continuously refining the training data based on objective feature measurements rather than subjective human judgment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Quantity of substance

If a large number of image samples are manually labeled to train the neural network, then the training can proceed, but the training cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The neural network system performs self-service by automatically generating training labels through feature extraction and prediction, eliminating the need for expensive manual labeling services. The system uses its own capabilities to prepare training data, thereby reducing or eliminating external training costs while maintaining sufficient data quantity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces costly manual labeling operations with free automated computational processes. Instead of paying humans to label images, the system uses automated feature extraction and neural network prediction, substituting expensive human labor with low-cost or free computational resources.

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