Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional systems are used for generating knowledge bases, then the system structure is simple, but the system lacks flexibility, scalability, and adaptability

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveflexibilityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into independent plug-compatible modules including data extraction modules, data processing modules, and knowledge base generation modules. Each module can be independently added, removed, or updated without affecting the entire system, thereby achieving flexibility while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs universal interfaces and standardized protocols that allow different types of machine learning models and data sources to be integrated through a common framework. This multi-functionality enables the system to handle diverse data formats and processing requirements without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional systems are used for generating knowledge bases, then the initial setup is straightforward, but the system cannot seamlessly update, add, or remove models and files

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidease of updating
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic configuration capabilities where machine learning models and data files can be added, removed, or modified at runtime without system downtime. The plug-compatible architecture allows dynamic registration and deregistration of modules, enabling seamless updates while maintaining ease of operation through automated dependency management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system includes automated feedback mechanisms that monitor model performance and data quality, triggering automatic updates or retraining when improvements are detected. This feedback loop enables the system to adaptively update components based on performance metrics while maintaining operational simplicity through automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If multiple machine-learning models are used to extract and refine data, then the data processing capability is enhanced, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing capabilityVSAvoidnumber of models
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple machine learning models are organized into segmented, plug-compatible modules with clearly defined input-output interfaces. Each model handles a specific aspect of data extraction or refinement, and their modular structure allows them to be managed independently, reducing the operational complexity despite having multiple models working in parallel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Standardized interface layers and data transformation modules act as intermediaries between different machine learning models, abstracting the complexity of model interactions. These intermediary components handle data format conversions, parameter mappings, and coordination logic, thereby enabling multiple models to work together without directly increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
