Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual processing methods are used to handle recall requests, then flexibility in understanding varied customer terminologies is maintained, but processing efficiency and accuracy deteriorate due to manual errors and resource-intensive operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecall request processing efficiencyVSAvoidmapping accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary mapping system that includes a mapping engine with multiple algorithms (fuzzy name matching, phonetic matching, semantic analysis) to bridge customer-submitted recall request objects and internal template objects. This intermediary layer automatically translates varied customer terminologies into standardized internal formats, eliminating manual processing errors while maintaining high accuracy through multi-algorithm verification and validation mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If automated mapping algorithms are implemented to handle varied customer terminologies, then processing speed and consistency improve, but system complexity increases due to multiple algorithms and validation mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecall request processing speedVSAvoidmapping system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mapping system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a mapping engine containing multiple specialized algorithms (fuzzy name matching, phonetic matching, semantic analysis), a validation module, and a template management module. Each segment handles specific aspects of the mapping process, allowing the system to process complex varied terminologies through specialized sub-routines rather than a monolithic complex system, thereby improving maintainability and reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If multiple mapping algorithms are used to ensure accurate matching of recall request objects, then mapping precision improves, but processing time increases due to multiple validation steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject mapping precisionVSAvoidprocessing time per recall request
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The mapping system implements partial validation by applying multiple algorithms selectively based on the confidence level of initial matching. When fuzzy name matching achieves high confidence, full multi-algorithm validation is skipped, processing time is reduced. When confidence is low or ambiguous cases are detected, the system activates additional phonetic and semantic analysis algorithms to ensure precision. This partial action approach maintains high mapping precision while minimizing unnecessary processing time for clear-cut cases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Various embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for managing recall requests in a facility. In this regard, first objects associated with one or more fields of a recall request is initially received in the facility. At least one first object of the first objects is parsed through a model. Also, second objects associated with the one or more fields of the recall request is then retrieved from a database. Based on the parsing, a first mapping for the first objects with the second objects are determined. Based at least on some algorithms and factors, a second mapping for the first objects with the second objects are also determined. A mapping for each of the first objects with the corresponding second objects is identified using the first and the second mappings. The mapping for each of the first objects is rendered via user interface using visual representations.
