Solution Overview

Problem

Current information processing devices face challenges in achieving high processing accuracy when dealing with signals of varying characteristics, such as recording density, as they often rely on a single neural network to process diverse attributes, leading to suboptimal results.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of an information processing device that utilizes multiple neural networks as processing models, allowing for the selection of an appropriate model based on the acquired signal characteristics, and processing the signal using both a first and a second neural network to derive a third output for enhanced '0/1' determination accuracy.

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the signal processing task into multiple specialized neural networks, each trained to handle specific signal characteristics or attribute ranges. This segmentation allows each network to optimize its processing for particular conditions, thereby improving overall processing accuracy while managing complexity through functional division.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of network selection based on signal attributes. By detecting signal characteristics and selecting or switching between appropriate neural networks, the system adapts its processing capability to match the input signal properties, improving accuracy without requiring all networks to operate simultaneously.

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic network selection or switching based on real-time signal characteristics. Instead of statically deploying all neural networks, the system dynamically chooses the most appropriate network for each input signal, maintaining high processing accuracy while reducing the effective complexity by activating only necessary components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Different parts of the system (different neural networks) are assigned different specialized functions or optimization targets based on local signal characteristics. Each neural network is tailored to handle specific types or ranges of signals, creating local optimization that improves overall system accuracy without requiring universal complexity.
