Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional insurance rating methods are used based on driver age and driving history, then the insurance system remains simple and easy to operate, but the accuracy of liability limit predictions and premium determinations deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliability limit prediction accuracyVSAvoidmodeling system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing telematics data, positioning data, and environmental data during normal vehicle operation before insurance claims occur. This pre-collection of comprehensive data enables more accurate liability limit predictions when needed, resolving the contradiction between prediction accuracy and system complexity by preparing information in advance rather than requiring complex real-time analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a modeling computing device as an intermediary between raw insurance data and premium determination. This intermediary processes telematics, positioning, and environmental data through machine learning models to generate refined liability limit predictions. The intermediary handles the complexity internally while presenting simplified results to insurers, resolving the contradiction by hiding system complexity behind an easy-to-use interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive telematics, positioning, and environmental data are collected and analyzed, then the accuracy of insurance premium determination improves, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepremium determination accuracyVSAvoidpremium determination time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously collecting and pre-processing telematics data, positioning data, and environmental data during normal vehicle operation. This pre-processing creates ready-to-analyze datasets that can be quickly evaluated when premium determinations are needed, resolving the contradiction between accuracy and processing time by doing the heavy lifting in advance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical actuarial methods with machine learning models that automatically process comprehensive data. These computational models efficiently analyze telematics, positioning, and environmental data to generate accurate liability limit predictions without requiring manual intervention, resolving the contradiction by using automated algorithms to handle complex data processing rapidly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional insurance rating factors are used, then the system remains easy to operate and understand, but the ability to personalize policies based on actual driving behavior deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepolicy personalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The modeling computing device serves as an intermediary that handles the complexity of personalized policy generation. It processes telematics, positioning, and environmental data to create customized liability limits and premiums, then presents these personalized results to insurers through a straightforward interface. This intermediary approach enables policy personalization while maintaining ease of operation by hiding the complexity of individualized calculations behind a simple system interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically generating personalized insurance policies based on collected driving behavior data without requiring manual adjustment by insurers. The machine learning models autonomously analyze telematics, positioning, and environmental data to determine appropriate liability limits and premiums for each policyholder, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and ease of operation by making the system self-configuring and self-optimizing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
