1Measurement precision

If traditional user feature mining methods are used, then the system is simpler to implement, but the identification accuracy of core user features deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the user feature mining process into distinct modules: sample selection module that divides users into positive and negative samples, feature vector expansion module that generates multiple expanded feature vectors from each sample, and core feature determination module that identifies important features. This segmentation allows each module to be optimized independently, improving overall identification accuracy while managing system complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the original feature vectors into expanded feature vectors by adding new dimensions. Specifically, it generates multiple expanded feature vectors from each sample through various transformations and combinations, thereby enriching the feature space and providing more comprehensive information for core feature identification, which directly improves measurement precision.

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

2Reliability

If larger sample sizes are used, then the reliability of user classification improves, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of user classificationVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-selecting positive and negative samples based on specific criteria before the main classification process. This preliminary sample selection ensures that only high-quality, relevant samples are processed in subsequent steps, improving classification reliability while avoiding the need to process all available data, thus reducing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes parameters by transforming original feature vectors into multiple expanded feature vectors with different characteristics. This parameter transformation allows the system to extract more information from the same sample set, improving reliability without requiring proportionally larger sample sizes, thereby balancing reliability improvement with processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If more feature vectors are generated through expansion, then the precision of virtual profile generation improves, but the computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts key information from original feature vectors and reconstructs multiple expanded feature vectors that highlight different aspects of user characteristics. By taking out essential features and recombining them in various ways, the system achieves higher precision in virtual profile generation while avoiding the need to process all possible feature combinations, thus managing computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The expanded feature vectors serve multiple functions: they enhance virtual profile generation precision, support core feature identification, and provide robust input for user classification. This multi-functionality allows the system to achieve high precision across multiple tasks without requiring separate processing pipelines, thereby controlling overall computational complexity.

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