Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual verification methods are used to check site deployment against design specifications, then verification accuracy can be maintained, but the process becomes time-consuming and dangerous

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveverification accuracyVSAvoidverification time

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical verification processes with an automated computer-implemented system that uses image processing and data comparison algorithms. The system automatically extracts features from site deployment images, compares them against design specifications, and generates verification reports, eliminating the need for manual measurement and inspection while maintaining verification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an automated verification system as an intermediary between the design specifications and the actual site deployment. This system acts as a mediator that objectively compares the two sources, providing accurate verification results without requiring direct human involvement in the measurement process, thereby reducing both time and safety risks.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If manual verification methods are used to check site deployment against design specifications, then verification accuracy can be maintained, but operational costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:

AI summary

A method performed by a computing device for verification of a site deployment is provided. The method includes receiving a query that a property related to an object from a 3-D representation from a scan of the site deployment satisfies a specified property related to the object from a drawing of the design of the site. The method further includes initiating extraction of a first value from a first knowledge graph and a second value from a second knowledge graph. The method further includes determining whether the property related to the object from the 3-D representation satisfies the specified property related to the object from the drawing based on a comparison of the first and second values; and outputting a result.
