Solution Overview

Problem

Current weather forecasting technologies fail to provide intuitive and descriptive insights into precipitation trends, as they often lack sufficient detail in presenting weather data trends, making it difficult for users to interpret precipitation changes effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for determining descriptive information of precipitation trends by acquiring precipitation data, identifying critical precipitation moments, and generating descriptive information based on timeliness and intensity, allowing for more intuitive interpretation of precipitation changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If detailed precipitation data is provided, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to difficulty in interpretation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecipitation data detailVSAvoiduser interpretation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts critical precipitation moments from the complete precipitation dataset, identifying and isolating only the most significant time points that define precipitation trends. This extraction process filters out redundant data while preserving essential information, making the data both precise and interpretable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces descriptive information as an intermediary layer between raw precipitation data and user interpretation. This mediator translates complex numerical data into intuitive descriptions of precipitation trends, bridging the gap between measurement precision and ease of understanding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If all precipitation moments are analyzed, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecipitation trend analysisVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the critical precipitation moments that truly define the precipitation trend, rather than analyzing every data point. This selective extraction reduces computational complexity while maintaining measurement precision by focusing on the most informative moments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the continuous precipitation data into distinct critical moments, dividing the complex dataset into manageable, meaningful units. This segmentation simplifies the analysis process by breaking down the overall precipitation trend into discrete, analyzable events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of information

If comprehensive precipitation description is provided, then loss of information is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates due to information overload

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecipitation trend informationVSAvoiduser guidance
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and highlights only the critical precipitation moments that contain the most important trend information, removing redundant details that would contribute to information overload. This extraction maintains essential information while improving usability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by providing a selective subset of precipitation information rather than complete comprehensive data. By presenting only the critical moments needed for trend understanding, it avoids excessive information while maintaining sufficient detail for accurate interpretation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
