Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional methods are used for modeling asset dynamics, then model accuracy can be maintained, but computational resources and time requirements increase substantially

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrading signal accuracyVSAvoidsignal generation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the asset price data into a different parameter space using dynamic mode decomposition, decomposing the data into mode coefficients that capture essential dynamics. This parameter transformation enables more efficient computation while preserving the critical information needed for accurate trading signal generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the asset dynamics into multiple independent modes through dynamic mode decomposition. Each mode represents a distinct timescale or pattern of behavior, allowing the system to process and analyze different aspects of asset dynamics separately and efficiently, reducing overall computational burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive asset data is processed to improve signal accuracy, then trading signal precision increases, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrading signal accuracyVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential dynamic modes from the comprehensive asset data using dynamic mode decomposition. Instead of processing all raw data points, the system identifies and extracts the dominant modes that capture the essential behavior, significantly reducing model complexity while maintaining signal accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs dynamic mode decomposition to capture the time-varying dynamics of asset prices in a computationally efficient manner. The method adapts to changing market conditions by identifying evolving modes dynamically, allowing the model to remain simple yet responsive to complex market behaviors.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by using only the most significant dynamic modes to model asset relationships. Instead of incorporating all possible parameters and modes, the system selects and uses only the dominant modes that contribute most to modeling accuracy, reducing computational costs while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary decomposition of asset data into dynamic modes in advance. This preprocessing step organizes the data into a structured format that can be rapidly processed in real-time without sacrificing accuracy, as the essential dynamics are already captured in the mode coefficients ready for quick analysis and signal generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
