Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional metadata extraction methods are used from complex screenplays, then comprehensive content attributes can be obtained, but the process becomes resource-intensive and computationally expensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemetadata extraction accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The screenplay is divided into multiple segments, and embeddings are generated for each segment individually. This segmentation allows the system to process large documents in manageable chunks, reducing the computational burden while maintaining comprehensive attribute extraction across the entire document.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces embeddings as an intermediary representation between the raw screenplay text and the final metadata extraction. These embeddings capture the semantic meaning of text segments in a compressed vector form, enabling more efficient processing while preserving the essential information needed for accurate attribute classification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If traditional metadata extraction methods are used from complex screenplays, then comprehensive content attributes can be obtained, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattribute classification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by generating embeddings for text segments before the actual metadata extraction and classification processes. This pre-processing step transforms the raw text into a more suitable representation format, making subsequent classification operations faster and more efficient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter representation by converting text segments into embedding vectors with specific dimensionalities. This parameter transformation enables the use of efficient vector-based classification algorithms that are significantly faster than traditional text processing methods while maintaining or improving classification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If traditional metadata extraction methods are used, then content attributes can be extracted, but human bias is introduced into the process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattribute extraction accuracyVSAvoidhuman bias
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of human metadata extraction with an automated computational system based on embeddings and machine learning classifiers. This substitution eliminates human bias from the extraction process while maintaining high accuracy through learned patterns from training data, making the system more objective and consistent.

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