Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the continuous battery life decay curve into multiple discrete curve segments corresponding to different life decay types (e.g., calendar aging, cycle aging, fast charging aging). Each segment is independently characterized by key parameters such as start/end points, decay rates, and inflection points. This segmentation simplifies the complex electrochemical degradation process into manageable discrete units that can be processed and predicted more efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the complex continuous decay curve into a set of discrete parameters including decay rates, curve segment boundaries, and characteristic points. By changing the representation from continuous function to discrete parameters, the computational complexity is reduced while preserving the essential degradation characteristics needed for accurate life prediction.

If genetic algorithm prediction is used to predict battery life, then the prediction is more efficient compared to electrochemical principle prediction, but the prediction error is large and it fails to explain the decay pattern

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces curve segment parameters as intermediary elements between the raw battery test data and the final life prediction. These parameters (decay rates, inflection points, segment boundaries) serve as mediators that capture the essential degradation patterns while enabling efficient computation. This intermediary layer preserves the explanatory power of electrochemical models while achieving the computational efficiency of data-driven approaches.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary analysis to identify and extract key curve segment parameters from battery degradation data before conducting the actual life prediction. By pre-processing the data to extract meaningful parameters such as decay rates and characteristic points, the method prepares the information in advance, enabling faster and more accurate predictions without requiring complex real-time computations.

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different decay characteristics and parameters to different segments of the battery life curve, recognizing that the degradation mechanism varies at different stages. Each curve segment is characterized by local quality parameters specific to that decay type (e.g., different decay rates for calendar vs. cycle aging). This localized approach improves prediction accuracy by capturing the non-uniform nature of battery degradation throughout its lifecycle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
