VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If different AI systems of a same learning system perform AI tasks based on a same learning architecture, then implementation complexity is reduced, but implementation flexibility is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation flexibilityVSAvoidimplementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables a single learning system to support multiple AI systems with different learning architectures (federated learning, centralized learning, decentralized learning) through a unified framework. The communication method allows nodes to participate in different AI systems with different architectures, making the system universal and adaptable to various requirements without requiring separate dedicated systems for each architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic configuration capabilities where nodes can be flexibly assigned to different AI systems and learning architectures based on task requirements. The system can dynamically adjust which nodes participate in which AI systems and switch between different learning architectures as needed, providing adaptability without permanent structural changes.

Inventive Principle:

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple learning architectures are provided in a learning system, then implementation flexibility is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation flexibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the learning system into independent AI systems, each with its own learning architecture, that can coexist within a unified framework. Each AI system operates semi-independently with its own nodes and configuration, allowing multiple architectures to be provided without creating a monolithic complex system. The segmentation enables manageable complexity through modular organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a unified communication framework and configuration management mechanism that acts as an intermediary between different AI systems with different learning architectures. This intermediary layer handles the complexity of coordinating multiple architectures, managing node assignments, and facilitating communication, thereby enabling flexibility without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables communication nodes to autonomously participate in AI tasks using their redundant computing capabilities. Nodes can self-configure and self-manage their participation in different AI systems based on their available resources and capabilities. This self-service approach allows efficient utilization of redundant computing power without requiring complex centralized resource allocation and management mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
