Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the spectrum prediction problem from direct spectral value prediction to parameter prediction of an approximated Franck-Condon progression model. By changing the prediction targets to physical parameters (transition energy E0, Huang-Rhys factors Si, vibrational energy levels ωi, and baseline distribution parameter C), the model achieves both computational efficiency and high prediction accuracy for wide spectrum ranges.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an approximated Franck-Condon progression model as an intermediary between the molecular structure representation and the final spectrum. This intermediate model serves as a bridge that connects the input molecular data to the output spectrum through physically meaningful parameters, enabling accurate reconstruction of wide spectral ranges while maintaining model efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If abbreviated information (maximum wavelengths, half-width, area) is used for training, then the training data requirements are reduced, but the ability to express complete spectrum information deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of directly storing and processing complete spectral curves which require large amounts of data, the patent copies the essential physical characteristics of spectra into a parametric Franck-Condon progression model. By representing spectra through a small number of physical parameters (E0, Si, ωi, C) rather than full spectral curves, the model captures complete spectrum information with minimal training data while avoiding information loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-defining the physical framework of the Franck-Condon progression model before actual spectrum prediction. By establishing the theoretical structure with its characteristic parameters (transition energy, Huang-Rhys factors, vibrational levels, and baseline distribution) in advance, the model ensures continuous and physically accurate spectrum generation across wide ranges without requiring complex computational discretization during prediction.
