Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If user profiling is performed using traditional methods without time data, then the profile generation process is simpler, but the accuracy and personalization of the generated ROI data deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of ROI dataVSAvoidcomplexity of profiling system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The user profiling process is segmented into multiple stages: data acquisition with time stamps, time-based clustering of source data, feature extraction from clusters, and neural network-based profile generation. This segmentation allows the system to handle complexity in a structured manner while improving ROI data accuracy through progressive refinement at each stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Time data is introduced as an additional dimension for clustering user source data. By organizing data into time-based clusters (e.g., morning, afternoon, evening activities), the system captures temporal patterns that significantly enhance the accuracy of ROI generation without requiring fundamental changes to the overall system architecture.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If time data is collected and processed for user profiling, then the personalization of services is improved, but the data processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization of serviceVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Source data is pre-clustered based on time information during data acquisition phases, and feature values are extracted from these pre-formed clusters before being input to the neural network. This preliminary organization of data by time patterns reduces the computational burden during the actual ROI generation process, enabling personalized services without excessive processing delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If comprehensive source data is collected for user profiling, then the quality of generated profiles is improved, but the quantity of data to be processed increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality of user profileVSAvoidvolume of source data
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of processing all raw source data directly, the system extracts representative feature values from time-based clusters of source data. These extracted features capture the essential characteristics of user behavior patterns while reducing the data volume significantly, maintaining profile quality without the computational overhead of processing every individual data point.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
