Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If sentiment analysis and social listening tools are used to measure product reputation, then insights into customer sentiment can be obtained, but the volume of unstructured data and noise increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomer sentiment insightsVSAvoidvolume of unstructured data
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the relevant information (sentiment and aspect data) from the vast amount of unstructured social media data using NLP models, separating useful insights from noise and irrelevant content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces NLP models and machine learning algorithms as intermediary processing layers between raw social media data and business insights, automatically filtering and transforming unstructured data into structured actionable information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If more data is collected from open web sources, then measurement accuracy improves, but data processing complexity and time requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereputation measurement accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service processing by automatically collecting, filtering, and analyzing data from multiple sources using integrated NLP models, eliminating the need for manual data processing and reducing operational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a multi-functional platform that simultaneously collects data from diverse sources (social media, reviews, forums), processes different data types, and generates various insights (sentiment analysis, aspect extraction, reputation scoring) through a single integrated system

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

3Reliability

If manual data collection and analysis methods are used, then data quality can be controlled, but productivity and real-time measurement capability decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata qualityVSAvoidreal-time measurement capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual data collection and analysis processes with automated NLP models, web scrapers, and machine learning algorithms that continuously monitor and process data in real-time without human intervention

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous operation by automatically and continuously collecting, processing, and analyzing data from multiple sources in real-time, providing ongoing reputation measurements without interruption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

4Loss of information

If search filters are applied to narrow down data, then relevant information is improved, but potential bias and loss of context may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverelevant informationVSAvoiddata accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts search parameters and filter criteria based on the analysis context, product category, and data characteristics to optimize the balance between relevance and accuracy without introducing bias

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback loops that continuously monitor data quality, analysis results, and model performance, automatically refining search filters and processing parameters to maintain accuracy while reducing bias

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
