Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional manually defined rules are used for threat identification, then identification accuracy of known threats is high, but the system becomes unable to cope with complex and changeable threat attack methods

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to cope with diverse threat eventsVSAvoididentification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The threat identification process is segmented into multiple stages: initial rule-based filtering for known threats, followed by machine learning-based analysis for unknown or complex threats. This segmentation allows each method to operate in its optimal domain, maintaining high accuracy for known threats while improving adaptability to new threat types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system combines multiple identification approaches (rule-based methods and machine learning algorithms) into a composite identification mechanism. This composite approach leverages the strengths of both methods: the precision of rule-based systems and the adaptability of machine learning, thereby resolving the contradiction between accuracy and versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Measurement precision

If more identification algorithms are used to improve threat recognition accuracy, then recognition accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects and applies identification algorithms based on the characteristics of the threat data being analyzed. Rather than using all algorithms simultaneously, the system adapts its identification approach in real-time, applying simple rule-based methods when applicable and more complex machine learning algorithms only when necessary, thereby maintaining accuracy while managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning models are trained automatically on historical threat data and continuously improve their own performance without requiring manual intervention for each new threat type. This self-service capability allows the system to maintain high recognition accuracy while reducing the operational complexity of managing multiple algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
