Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple classification models are used to classify electrocardiography signals, then classification accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the classification task into multiple sequential stages using different classification models. The first classification model performs initial categorization of electrocardiography signals, and subsequent models refine the classification for specific signal types. This segmentation allows each model to focus on specific aspects of signal analysis, improving overall accuracy while managing complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extends the classification approach from a single-dimension model to a multi-dimensional classification system. By introducing multiple classification models operating at different levels (first classification for broad categories, second classification for specific types), the system adds dimensional depth to the analysis, enabling more precise classification without requiring a single overly complex model.
2Measurement precision
If advanced signal processing techniques are employed, then analysis accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary signal processing techniques such as R-wave detection and interval calculation before performing classification. By pre-processing the electrocardiography signals to extract key features (R-wave intervals, signal segments) beforehand, the system reduces the complexity of subsequent classification tasks, thereby improving accuracy without proportionally increasing total processing time.
3Ease of operation
If manual waveform analysis is performed by medical personnel, then subjective judgment is possible, but analysis is time-consuming and prone to misjudgments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automated classification system that performs electrocardiography signal analysis without requiring manual intervention. The system self-processes the signals through multiple classification models, automatically generating diagnostic categories. This eliminates the time-consuming nature of manual analysis while maintaining objective, consistent classification results free from human subjective bias and fatigue-related errors.

AI summary
An electrocardiography processing device includes a measurement unit and a processing unit. The measurement unit measures an object to generate an electrocardiography signal. The processing unit receives the electrocardiography signal, classifies the electrocardiography signal using a first classification model to classify the electrocardiography signal into a first type or a second type, and classifies the electrocardiography signal of the first type using a second classification model to classify the electrocardiography signal of the first type into the first type or the second type.
