Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional methods for determining critical values in risk management systems rely on manual experience, which is inadequate for comprehensive decision-making in complex systems, lacking an objective criterion to differentiate between high and low risks.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that generate and optimize combinations of critical values through relation functions between features and index values, using a cyclic process of scoring, combination exchange, and probability-based selection to identify the best combination of critical values, ensuring objective and efficient risk management decisions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual experience-based methods are used to determine critical values, then the implementation process is simple, but the comprehensiveness and objectivity of risk assessment deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidrisk assessment objectivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual experience-based determination with an automated computer-implemented method. The system uses processors to automatically generate, evaluate, and optimize combinations of critical values through algorithmic processes, substituting human subjective judgment with objective computational analysis that comprehensively evaluates multiple features and index values.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-optimization by automatically generating combinations of critical values, evaluating them through relation functions, and iteratively improving the combination based on score comparisons. The method autonomously determines optimal critical values without requiring manual intervention or subjective expertise, allowing the system to self-adjust and self-optimize the risk assessment parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Device complexity

If manual experience-based methods are used to determine critical values, then the system complexity is low, but the ability to comprehensively reflect multiple requirements deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidcomprehensive requirement reflection
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal system that can handle multiple features (M features) and evaluate them against multiple index values (N index values) simultaneously. The relation functions and combination generation mechanism are designed to work with any number of features and requirements, making the system adaptable to various risk management scenarios while maintaining a unified computational framework.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts parameters by generating K combinations of critical values, each combination representing different parameter settings. Through iterative evaluation and score comparison, the system identifies the optimal parameter combination that best reflects multiple requirements. The method allows flexible modification of the number of features, index values, and combinations based on specific application needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If automated combination optimization is implemented, then the objectivity and comprehensiveness of critical value determination is improved, but the computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecritical value determination objectivityVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the complex optimization problem into manageable segments: generating K combinations, evaluating each combination through N relation functions, comparing scores, and iteratively selecting optimal combinations. This segmentation allows the system to handle computational complexity through structured, modular processing steps rather than attempting to solve the entire problem simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system evaluates K combinations (where K is a preset value) rather than exhaustively checking all possible combinations. This partial action approach provides a practical balance between computational feasibility and optimization quality, generating sufficiently many combinations to achieve objectivity and comprehensiveness without requiring prohibitively complex computational resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A method for determining critical values includes obtaining N relation functions between M features and N index values, the N relation functions taking the M features as inputs and the N index values as outputs; generating K combinations, each comprising M critical values of the M features; repeating following steps until a preset stop condition is satisfied: determining a score for each of the K combinations based on the N relation functions to represent an overall quality of the N index values; repeatedly selecting two combinations and exchanging critical values between the two combinations to generate two new combinations until a quantity of the new combinations reaches a preset number; and selecting K combinations from the new combinations; and after the preset stop condition is satisfied, associating the M features with the M critical values in a combination with a highest score.
