Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If general error correction methods are used for numerical content, then the correction process is simple, but the recall rate is low and logical errors cannot be corrected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecall rate of numerical error correctionVSAvoidcomplexity of error correction system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the error correction process into distinct modules: numerical content identification module, error type judgment module, and correction execution module. Each module handles specific aspects of the correction task, allowing the system to achieve high recall rates through specialized processing while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of correction approach by introducing type-based differentiation. Instead of applying a uniform correction method, the system identifies different error types (format errors, logical errors, completeness errors) and applies corresponding correction strategies, thereby improving recall rate without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If type-based error correction is implemented, then the recall rate improves, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of numerical error correctionVSAvoidcomplexity of correction method selection
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining multiple error types and their corresponding correction methods before the actual correction process. The system prepares correction strategies in advance for each error category (format, logical, completeness errors), enabling accurate and efficient correction without requiring complex real-time decision-making during execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the error type judgment module continuously identifies error categories and feeds this information to the correction execution module. This feedback loop ensures that the appropriate correction method is selected based on the identified error type, improving accuracy while keeping the system architecture straightforward through clear information flow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If comprehensive error detection is performed, then more errors are corrected, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of error detectionVSAvoidprocessing time for error correction
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments error detection into three distinct error type checks: format errors, logical errors, and completeness errors. Each segment focuses on specific aspects of numerical content validation, allowing comprehensive error detection to be performed through parallel or sequential specialized checks rather than a single complex analysis, thereby reducing overall processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the detection parameter by introducing error type classification. Instead of performing exhaustive analysis on all numerical content uniformly, the system detects and categorizes errors by type (format, logical, completeness), enabling targeted correction approaches that reduce processing time while maintaining comprehensive detection coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

This application discloses a method, an apparatus and an electronic device for error correction of numerical contents in a text, and relates to a technology field of artificial intelligence such as natural language processing and deep learning. The implementation method is: obtaining a target text to be processed; determining original numerical contents included in the target text; determining target types corresponding to the original numerical contents; and performing error correction on each original numerical content according to an error correction manner corresponding to each target type. Therefore, the error correction of numerical contents is realized according to types of the numerical contents, which is not only limited to the error correction of the numerical format, but also the logical error correction of the numerical content, so as to improve the numerical error correction capability and thereby improving the recall rate of detection and correction of wrong values.
