Solution Approach 1:

Multiple device-specific prediction models are merged into a single unified prediction model. The system collects operational data from multiple devices with different characteristics, trains a single model on this diverse dataset, and uses it to predict outcomes for all devices. This eliminates the need to maintain separate models for each device while preserving prediction accuracy through comprehensive training data that captures various device characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

A universal prediction model is developed that can handle multiple device types and characteristics simultaneously. The model is designed to be multi-functional, accepting operational data from various devices as input and providing accurate predictions across different device configurations. This universal approach reduces system complexity by replacing multiple specialized models with one adaptable model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms operational data parameters to match the characteristics of virtual operational data used during model training. This involves adjusting data distribution, scaling, or transformation of operational parameters so that real device data aligns with the training data characteristics. By changing parameters rather than creating separate models, the system maintains prediction accuracy while using a single unified model.
