Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a criterion to automatically determine whether to change a system configuration during operation, as existing technologies lack an effective method for making such decisions.

Innovation Solution

A system operation planning device generates specific requirements based on abstract requirements, including information on variable factors and their allowed ranges, to determine whether system configuration changes are necessary during operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If system configuration is changed during operation to improve performance, then system efficiency is improved, but system stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem efficiencyVSAvoidsystem stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic system configuration that adapts to changing operational conditions. The system monitors variable factors during operation and automatically adjusts configuration parameters to optimize performance while maintaining stability through controlled, condition-based transitions rather than static or arbitrary changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes system configuration parameters based on monitored variable factors and their relationships. By identifying which parameters to change and when to change them based on operational data, the system improves efficiency while maintaining stability through scientifically-based parameter adjustment rather than random or excessive changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If system configuration is frequently changed to adapt to operational conditions, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem adaptabilityVSAvoidconfiguration management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms that monitor variable factors during system operation and use this information to determine when configuration changes are necessary. This feedback loop enables the system to adapt to changing conditions automatically while reducing the complexity of manual configuration management by providing data-driven decision criteria.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-diagnosis and self-adjustment by monitoring its own operational parameters and automatically making configuration changes when needed. This self-service capability improves adaptability while reducing the complexity of external configuration management, as the system manages its own optimization without requiring complex external control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If manual determination of configuration changes is used, then system stability is maintained, but productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem reliabilityVSAvoidoperational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables the system to automatically monitor its own operational parameters, analyze variable factor relationships, and determine when configuration changes are needed without human intervention. This self-service capability maintains reliability through systematic monitoring while improving productivity by eliminating manual analysis and decision-making delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements automated feedback loops that continuously monitor system operation and trigger configuration changes based on predefined criteria and analyzed variable factor relationships. This feedback mechanism maintains reliability through systematic monitoring while improving productivity by automatically executing optimization decisions without requiring manual review or intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
