Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the speech recognition service is operated with limited user and device information in initial operation, then the system complexity is reduced, but the speech recognition rate and reliability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidspeech recognition rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary information collection during initial operation, gathering user and device data in advance to build recognition models. This preliminary action ensures that sufficient information is available before formal speech recognition begins, resolving the contradiction between starting with simple systems and achieving high recognition accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The speech recognition system dynamically adapts its information collection and processing capabilities based on operational stage. In initial operation, it collects information gradually; as it matures, it utilizes accumulated data to improve recognition rates, making the system's complexity and performance dynamic rather than static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If user and device information is collected continuously to improve speech recognition, then the speech recognition rate improves, but the information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeech recognition rateVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The information collection and processing system is segmented into distinct modules: information collection module, information processing module, and speech recognition module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while enabling continuous information gathering to improve recognition rates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

An information processing intermediary layer is introduced between raw data collection and speech recognition. This intermediary processes and structures user and device information before feeding it to the recognition engine, reducing the complexity burden on the core recognition system while maintaining continuous improvement capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If the speech recognition service operates without sufficient user information, then the ease of operation is maintained, but the recognition accuracy and reliability worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational simplicityVSAvoidrecognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The speech recognition system provides self-service by automatically collecting and processing user information without requiring manual configuration or user intervention. This maintains ease of operation while gradually accumulating data to improve recognition accuracy over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
