Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If actual system data is used for designing applications and hardware, then high fidelity for design is achieved, but reading the data is lengthy and laborious and consumes processing resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefidelity for designVSAvoidtime for reading data
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates synthetic data that copies the essential statistical characteristics and patterns of actual system data without using the actual data itself. This synthetic copy preserves the fidelity needed for design while eliminating the time-consuming process of reading and processing actual data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the necessary statistical characteristics and patterns from actual system data to generate synthetic data. This extraction process removes unnecessary data elements, leaving only the essential features needed for design fidelity while reducing data volume and processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Measurement precision

If actual system data is used for designing applications and hardware, then high fidelity for design is achieved, but processing resources are undesirably constrained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefidelity for designVSAvoidprocessing resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent generates synthetic data that replicates the statistical properties of actual system data, providing sufficient fidelity for design purposes while requiring significantly fewer processing resources to generate and process compared to using actual data directly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms actual system data into synthetic data by changing parameters such as data representation format and statistical distribution characteristics. This transformation maintains the essential design-relevant properties while reducing the computational burden of data processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If actual system data is used for designing applications and hardware, then high fidelity for design is achieved, but privacy associated with the actual data is not adequately protected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefidelity for designVSAvoidprivacy risks
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates synthetic data that copies the statistical characteristics of actual system data without containing any actual sensitive information. This synthetic copy provides the fidelity needed for design while inherently protecting privacy since no real data is exposed to external systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces synthetic data as an intermediary between actual system data and external design processes. This intermediary preserves the essential characteristics needed for design fidelity while acting as a privacy barrier that prevents actual sensitive data from being shared with external systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
