Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If control parameters are fixed in existing control systems, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability deteriorates because the system cannot adapt to changes in control target characteristics over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational accuracyVSAvoidcontrol system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic control parameters that automatically adapt to changes in control target characteristics. The system continuously monitors actual response profiles and adjusts control parameters in real-time, transforming the static control mechanism into a dynamic one that maintains reliability without requiring complex manual intervention structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms where the actual response profile of the control target is continuously measured and compared against expected performance. This feedback loop enables automatic detection of characteristic changes and triggers parameter adjustments, improving reliability through adaptive control while keeping the system structure manageable through automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual adjustment of control parameters is implemented, then adaptability improves, but productivity deteriorates due to increased manual intervention requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse to characteristic changesVSAvoidoperational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables the control system to automatically detect changes in control target characteristics and adjust parameters without human intervention. The system performs self-diagnosis by comparing actual response profiles with expected profiles, and automatically modifies control parameters to maintain optimal performance, achieving both adaptability and high productivity through autonomous operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual parameter adjustment mechanisms with automated computational systems. Instead of relying on human operators to detect and respond to characteristic changes, the system uses algorithms to automatically analyze response profiles and adjust parameters, substituting mechanical/manual processes with electronic automation to maintain adaptability while maximizing productivity.

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

3Reliability

If control parameters are frequently adjusted to maintain accuracy, then reliability improves, but loss of time increases due to continuous parameter tuning

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous monitoring of the control target's response profile without interruption to operations. The system continuously compares actual performance against expected performance and makes incremental parameter adjustments in real-time, maintaining reliability through ongoing adaptation while avoiding time losses associated with stopping operations for parameter tuning. The useful action of control continues uninterrupted throughout the process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

A control system includes a storage that stores a computational model of a reference response profile representing a frequency characteristic of a reference state of a control target corresponding to a first command, and circuitry configured to calculate a first actual response profile representing a frequency characteristic of an actual state of the control target having responded to the first command. The circuitry is further configured to acquire an error between the reference response profile and the first actual response profile, and cause a controller to output, to the control target, a second command that is based on a frequency at which the error is greater than a threshold. Additionally, the circuitry is configured to calculate a second actual response profile representing a frequency characteristic of an actual state of the control target having responded to the second command, and update the computational model based on the second actual response profile and the reference response profile.
