Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional methods are used to recognize spaces where moving bodies exhibit characteristic behavior, then comprehensive analysis can be performed, but time and cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of space feature definitionVSAvoidtime and cost for design analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex task of space analysis into distinct components: extracting semantic model information, defining space features through item sets, and identifying characteristic behaviors. This segmentation allows each component to be processed independently and efficiently, reducing overall analysis time while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates abstract representations (copies) of spaces through semantic models and space features. Instead of analyzing physical spaces directly, the system works with extracted feature sets that capture essential characteristics, enabling rapid comparison and analysis without requiring detailed examination of actual spaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If detailed attribute information of multiple components is extracted to define space features, then definition accuracy improves, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of space feature definitionVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary attribute information from semantic models to define space features. By selectively extracting relevant component attributes and organizing them into structured item sets, the system achieves accurate space feature definition without processing all available data, thereby reducing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms complex semantic model data into simplified space feature parameters through item sets. This parameter transformation converts detailed component attribute information into a standardized format that is easier to process and compare, maintaining accuracy while reducing computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A world in which a moving body moves is analyzed by using a semantic model of the world. A space feature characterizing a space in the world is defined by an item set that at least includes attribute information of a plurality of components present in and around the space. A specific space is a space where the moving body exhibits a characteristic behavior in the world. A specific space feature is the space feature characterizing the specific space. A plurality of components present in and around the specific space in a first world is extracted, and the specific space feature is defined by the item set. Then, a similar space having the space feature similar to the specific space feature regarding the specific space in the first world is extracted from a second world.
