Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional support case resolution methods are used, then manual analysis and resolution processes are simple to implement, but the resolution efficiency is low and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport case resolution efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing training data from historical support cases, contextual information, and client telemetry data before actual support cases occur. This pre-processing enables the machine learning model to make rapid predictions when support cases arise, resolving the contradiction between quick resolution and complex analysis by doing the heavy lifting in advance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a machine learning prediction model as an intermediary between the raw support case data and the resolution process. This intermediary automatically analyzes telemetry data, contextual information, and support case details to generate predictions, replacing manual analysis and enabling efficient resolution without requiring direct human intervention in the analysis phase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive data analysis is performed for each support case, then prediction accuracy improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data collection and model training before actual predictions are needed. Historical training data, contextual information templates, and telemetry data structures are all prepared in advance, allowing the model to make accurate predictions quickly when support cases occur without performing comprehensive analysis from scratch each time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by selecting and weighting different data sources based on their relevance to specific support case types. The system doesn't treat all data equally but rather focuses analysis on the most relevant contextual information and telemetry metrics for each particular case, improving accuracy while reducing unnecessary processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
