Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If sensor data including personal information is collected and analyzed to improve situation understanding, then analysis accuracy is improved, but personal information exposure risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoidpersonal information exposure risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a de-identification processing module as an intermediary between sensor data collection and analysis. This module transforms personal information-containing data into anonymized data before analysis, allowing accurate situation understanding while preventing direct exposure of personal information. The intermediary layer enables the system to maintain analysis accuracy without compromising privacy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and removes personal information from sensor data through de-identification processing. By separating and removing identifiable personal details while retaining the essential patterns and relationships needed for analysis, the system achieves accurate situation understanding without exposing personal information. This extraction approach allows the core analytical value to be preserved while eliminating privacy risks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If de-identification processing is performed on sensor data to reduce personal information exposure, then privacy protection is improved, but data analysis accuracy may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonal information exposure riskVSAvoiddata analysis accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by transforming data characteristics through de-identification processing. The system modifies data parameters (such as anonymizing identifiers while preserving temporal and spatial patterns) to maintain analytical value. By carefully adjusting these parameters, the system achieves privacy protection without significant loss of analysis accuracy, as the transformed data retains essential relationships needed for situation understanding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If multiple sensor data are integrated and analyzed to understand complex situations, then situation understanding is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesituation understanding accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data processing workflow into distinct modules: sensor data collection, de-identification processing, and analysis. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific tasks independently, reducing overall processing complexity. The de-identification module processes personal information separately from the analysis module, enabling modular and manageable complexity while maintaining comprehensive situation understanding through integrated data processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
