1Measurement precision

If only current time series data is used for prediction, then the prediction process is simple, but the prediction accuracy is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidprediction process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs similarity retrieval to find historical data patterns before the actual prediction process. By pre-identifying similar historical time series data and extracting their characteristics, the system prepares relevant reference information in advance, which is then used to enhance the accuracy of the current prediction without adding complex real-time processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces similar historical time series data as an intermediary element between the current data and the prediction model. This intermediary provides additional contextual information and patterns that bridge the gap between limited current data and accurate predictions, allowing the model to leverage historical similarities to improve forecasting accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If similar data retrieval is performed to improve prediction accuracy, then the prediction accuracy improves, but the computation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
