Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If existing data compression methods are used, then transmission resources are occupied and transmission delay increases, but data loss is significant

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission resourcesVSAvoiddata loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the original data into multiple blocks and processes each block independently through dictionary learning to generate sparse matrices. This segmentation allows for more granular compression control while maintaining overall data integrity, reducing both transmission resource occupation and data loss simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the data representation parameters by converting original data into sparse matrices through dictionary learning. This parameter transformation enables more efficient compression with lower transmission resource requirements while preserving data information through the mathematical properties of sparse representations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If scalar quantization or vector quantization is used for data compression, then transmission resources are saved and transmission delay is reduced, but compression rate is limited and data loss is large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression rateVSAvoiddata loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional quantization mechanisms with dictionary learning and sparse matrix transformation. Instead of using fixed quantization steps, the system learns adaptive dictionaries that capture data characteristics, achieving higher compression rates with minimal information loss through this mechanism substitution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary dictionary learning and sparse matrix transformation before actual data transmission. This preliminary action prepares the data in a compressed yet information-preserving format, enabling efficient transmission with both high compression rate and low data loss

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If compression is performed on individual sparse matrices separately, then processing is simple, but overall compression efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple individual sparse matrix compressions into a unified joint compression process. By combining the compression operations and sharing computational resources across data blocks, the system achieves higher overall compression efficiency while managing processing complexity through coordinated operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
