Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If only historical trajectory location information is used for prediction, then the prediction method is simple, but the prediction accuracy is insufficient especially in complex scenarios with sudden behavior changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrajectory prediction accuracyVSAvoidprediction method complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The prediction system segments the input data into multiple independent components: trajectory location information, posture information (including orientation of multiple parts), and environmental information. Each component is processed separately and then integrated, allowing the system to handle complex scenarios while maintaining manageable computational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from two-dimensional location coordinates to three-dimensional spatial information by incorporating posture data (orientation angles of multiple body parts) and environmental context. This dimensional expansion enables the model to capture sudden behavior changes that cannot be detected by location alone

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If more input data including posture and environmental information is used, then prediction accuracy improves, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple information sources (trajectory locations, posture data from multiple body parts, environmental context) into a unified prediction framework. By combining these diverse data types through a neural network model, the system achieves accurate motion intention recognition while managing the complexity through integrated processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional historical trajectory methods are used, then computational resources are saved, but the ability to handle sudden behavior changes is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis by processing posture information and environmental data in parallel with trajectory data. This preliminary action enables the model to detect potential sudden behavior changes early, allowing for more adaptive predictions while optimizing computational resource usage through pre-computed features

Inventive Principle:
