Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If deep learning algorithms are used to evaluate clinical and genomic data, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of medical data derivationVSAvoidcomplexity of deep learning algorithm
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The deep learning algorithm is divided into multiple hidden layers, each performing specific transformations on the input data. This segmentation allows the complex evaluation task to be broken down into manageable sequential steps, improving measurement precision while organizing the device complexity into structured components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate data clusters as mediators between the raw input data and the final medical evaluation results. These clusters serve as intermediate representations that simplify the processing pipeline, allowing the algorithm to achieve high precision through staged transformations rather than direct complex processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If a large number of training labels are used to train deep learning algorithms, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of algorithm resultsVSAvoidtime for labelling process
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by using only the necessary subset of data clusters for training rather than requiring all possible labeled data. The algorithm identifies and processes only the critical clusters needed to achieve accurate medical evaluations, reducing the time-consuming labeling effort while maintaining measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary clustering of the input data before the main evaluation process. By pre-organizing data into meaningful clusters, the algorithm reduces the amount of labeled training data needed, as the clustering structure provides prior organization that accelerates the learning process and reduces labeling time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If extensive user input is required for optimizing deep learning algorithms, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of medical evaluationVSAvoiduser effort for optimization
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The deep learning algorithm performs self-service by automatically tuning its own parameters based on the input data clusters. The system self-optimizes without requiring extensive user input, yet still achieves high measurement precision in medical data derivation, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
