Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If deep learning technology based on neural networks and large-scale model technology is used for visual image processing, then object recognition and scene understanding capabilities are improved, but energy consumption and calculation requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and processes only the essential variable elements (fluctuation difference, dimensionality, frequency) from photon energy information, rather than processing complete image data through complex neural networks. This extraction approach maintains recognition accuracy while significantly reducing computational load and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the image processing task into distinct stages: acquiring photon energy information, extracting variable elements, generating energy fields, and performing spatial reasoning. This segmentation allows each stage to use optimized processing methods, reducing overall energy consumption compared to monolithic deep learning approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical/computational systems (neural networks with billions of parameters) with a simplified physical model based on strain mechanisms and energy field theory. This substitution maintains processing capability while dramatically reducing hardware complexity and cost.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fundamental parameters being processed from raw pixel data to photon energy variable elements (fluctuation difference, dimensionality, frequency). This parameter transformation enables effective processing with simpler hardware that doesn't require massive computational resources.
