Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing techniques using Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT) assume independent and identically distributed sequential data, leading to insufficient accuracy due to neglecting the relationship between data elements.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device and method that calculates indicators for each element considering multiple elements, integrates these indicators to determine an integrated indicator, and classifies sequential data based on this integrated indicator, accounting for the relationships between data elements.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If SPRT is used to classify sequential data assuming independent and identically distributed elements, then the calculation process is simple, but the classification accuracy is insufficient because the relationship between data elements is not considered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecalculation simplicityVSAvoidclassification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the sequential data classification process into multiple stages: (1) dividing data elements into groups, (2) calculating indicators for each group considering relationships between elements, (3) integrating group indicators to form an overall classification indicator. This segmentation allows the system to maintain calculation simplicity while improving accuracy by considering element relationships within groups without requiring complex analysis of all elements simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple data elements into groups and combines their individual indicators through integration to form a comprehensive classification indicator. By merging elements into groups and integrating their indicators, the system captures relationships between elements while maintaining a manageable calculation structure, thus improving classification accuracy without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Measurement precision

If the relationship between all elements of sequential data is considered to improve classification accuracy, then the classification accuracy improves, but the calculation complexity increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidcalculation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent reduces calculation complexity by segmenting the set of all data elements into smaller groups. Instead of analyzing relationships among all elements simultaneously, the system analyzes relationships within each group separately, then integrates the results. This segmentation maintains classification accuracy by preserving element relationships while making the calculation process manageable and scalable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by considering relationships within subsets of elements (groups) rather than requiring analysis of all possible element relationships. This partial consideration of relationships achieves sufficient classification accuracy for practical applications while avoiding the combinatorial explosion of complexity that would result from analyzing all element relationships comprehensively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
