Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If typical text classification models are used to identify problem descriptions, then identification accuracy is improved, but computation cost and latency increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidcomputation latency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the document processing task into multiple stages: extracting problem descriptions using regex patterns and NLP techniques, separating them from technical details, and then processing them independently. This segmentation allows the system to achieve accurate identification without requiring computationally intensive full-document classification models.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts problem descriptions from specific sections of patent documents (background, summary, detailed description) using targeted extraction methods rather than analyzing the entire document. This extraction approach reduces computation time while maintaining identification accuracy by focusing only on relevant portions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If supervised machine learning models are trained to identify key descriptions, then identification capability is improved, but large amounts of labeled data and computational resources are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification capabilityVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs unsupervised learning techniques and automated rule-based systems that do not require manually labeled training data. The system automatically identifies problem descriptions using pattern matching, statistical analysis, and NLP methods, eliminating the need for expensive labeled datasets and complex supervised training pipelines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces complex supervised machine learning models with simpler rule-based systems, statistical methods, and pattern recognition algorithms. This substitution maintains identification capability while significantly reducing computational resource requirements and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
