Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If on-device AI processing is used, then processing speed is improved, but processing accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidprocessing accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments AI processing into two parts: simple tasks processed locally on the terminal device for speed, and complex tasks processed on external servers for accuracy. The processor divides incoming AI processing requests based on complexity thresholds, routing appropriate portions to different processing locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges on-device AI processing capabilities with external server AI processing capabilities into a unified system. The terminal device combines local processing results with remote processing results to achieve both speed and accuracy benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If on-device AI processing is used, then privacy protection is improved, but processing completeness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy protectionVSAvoidprocessing completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by keeping sensitive data processing local to the terminal device while allowing non-sensitive or less sensitive data to be processed externally. Different processing locations are assigned based on the sensitivity and complexity requirements of specific AI tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Use of energy by moving object

If on-device AI processing is used, then cost is reduced, but processing capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecostVSAvoidprocessing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic processing capability adjustment where the terminal device can flexibly switch between local-only processing, hybrid processing, and server-reliant processing based on available resources, task requirements, and performance needs. This allows the system to adapt its processing capability dynamically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

An on-device artificial intelligence (AI) processing distributed processing device and method capable of distributing AI processing load of a terminal through internal or external other devices are provided. The on-device AI processing distributed processing device can, measure an amount of AI processing for performing the user command, select an AI processing distributed processing target when the measured amount of AI processing exceeds a self-processing capacity, request distributed process for AI processing to the selected AI processing distributed processing target, and when a first AI processing result value is received from the AI processing distributed processing target, provide a final result value based on the first AI processing result value and a self-processed second AI processing result value.
