Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If quantum computing resources are used for all problems, then computational power for complex problems is improved, but computing resource wastage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputational powerVSAvoidcomputing resource wastage
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of computing resource selection by using NLP similarity matching to classify problems into quantum-suitable or classical categories, thereby optimizing resource allocation based on problem characteristics rather than uniformly using quantum resources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary classification system that acts as a mediator between the problem and computing resource selection. This intermediary uses NLP to analyze problem descriptions and determine the appropriate computing paradigm, preventing direct mismatch between problem type and resource allocation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If quantum computing is adopted early in application architecture, then future readiness is improved, but cost escalation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefuture readinessVSAvoidcost escalation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by selectively applying quantum computing only to problems that benefit from it, rather than adopting quantum computing universally. This partial adoption maintains future readiness for quantum-capable problems while avoiding the excessive costs of universal quantum deployment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If natural language processing similarity matching is used to classify problems, then computing resource allocation accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual or rule-based problem classification mechanisms with NLP-based semantic analysis. This substitution achieves higher classification accuracy by understanding problem descriptions naturally, while the modular NLP implementation keeps system complexity manageable

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

AI summary

In some implementations, an advisor system may receive a description of a problem to be solved and problem data identifying quantum computing-related and classical computing-related problems. The advisor system may perform natural language processing on the description of the problem and the problem data to respectively generate a problem embedding vector for the problem and to generate embedding vectors that represent the quantum computing-related and classical computing-related problems. The advisor system may process the problem embedding vector and the embedding vectors, with a vector matching model, to determine a semantically closest matching one of the embedding vectors to the problem embedding vector and, accordingly, may generate a recommendation that includes an indication to solve the problem with a classical computing resource, a quantum computing resource, or a combination of a classical computing resource and a quantum computing resource.
