Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple image analyzers with different models are used for parallel analysis, then analysis speed is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the image analysis task into multiple independent analyzers, each handling different analysis models (e.g., first model for object detection, second model for recognition). Each analyzer operates independently with its own scheduling, enabling parallel processing that increases analysis speed while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a temporal dimension to the analysis process by implementing independent scheduling for each analyzer. Instead of sequential processing, multiple analyzers operate simultaneously at different time schedules, transforming the single-dimensional sequential analysis into multi-dimensional parallel analysis, thereby improving productivity without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If independent analysis scheduling is implemented for each image analyzer, then seamless security is improved, but control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseamless securityVSAvoidscheduling control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each image analyzer is equipped with its own independent scheduling mechanism that autonomously manages its analysis execution without requiring centralized coordination. This self-service approach allows each analyzer to operate independently based on its own state and requirements, ensuring seamless security through continuous monitoring while avoiding the complexity of centralized scheduling control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
