Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and method that utilize a first disease identification model for rapid recognition of body parts and disease presence, and a second model for detailed disease identification, facilitating quick and accurate patient assessment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a single detailed disease identification model is used for comprehensive disease detection, then measurement precision is improved, but processing time increases and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease identification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the disease identification task into two separate models: a first model for rapid preliminary identification and a second model for detailed analysis. This segmentation allows the system to achieve both speed and accuracy by processing different aspects of disease detection with specialized models rather than using a single comprehensive model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first disease identification model performs preliminary screening to quickly identify potential diseases and body portions. This preliminary action filters the data before it reaches the second model, reducing the processing load and enabling the detailed model to focus only on relevant cases, thus improving overall processing efficiency while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive disease identification is performed on all body portions, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease detection completenessVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The first disease identification model performs preliminary screening across all body portions to quickly identify potential diseases. This preliminary action enables the system to focus detailed analysis only on identified cases, reducing the overall time required while maintaining comprehensive detection coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The two-stage modeling approach segments the time-consuming detailed analysis from the rapid initial screening. This allows comprehensive disease detection to be achieved without requiring all body portions to undergo lengthy detailed analysis simultaneously, thus reducing total processing time while maintaining detection completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of information

If detailed disease information is provided for all cases, then information completeness is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease information completenessVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a segmented information provision strategy where the first model provides basic disease identification information quickly, and the second model provides detailed disease information only when needed. This segmentation reduces system complexity by avoiding the need for a single complex system to handle all levels of detail for all cases simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial detailed analysis only to cases identified by the first model rather than performing exhaustive detailed analysis on all cases. This partial action approach maintains information completeness for relevant cases while reducing the overall system complexity and resource requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
