Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If video data is segmented and analyzed to identify relevant segments, then content retrieval accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent retrieval accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The video data is divided into multiple segments, and the system selectively processes only those segments that are relevant to the given theme information. This segmentation approach allows the system to maintain high retrieval accuracy by thoroughly analyzing relevant portions while avoiding unnecessary processing of irrelevant content, thus resolving the contradiction between accuracy and processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by determining association degrees for only the necessary video segments rather than processing the entire video data uniformly. By identifying and processing only the portions of video data that have meaningful association with the theme information, the system achieves accurate content retrieval without the time cost of complete data processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive video analysis is performed to determine theme association, then retrieval accuracy is improved, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetheme association accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The computational task is segmented into identifying video segments with meaningful associations to the theme information. Rather than performing comprehensive analysis on all video data, the system divides the problem into manageable segments and focuses computational resources on those segments that contribute to accurate theme association determination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts and processes only the essential features and segments of video data that are relevant to theme association. By taking out and analyzing only the necessary components rather than processing the entire video dataset comprehensively, the system achieves accurate theme association determination while reducing computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of information

If all video data is processed to ensure complete information extraction, then information completeness is improved, but processing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs partial processing on video data by identifying and analyzing only those segments that contain information relevant to the theme. This approach ensures that all necessary information for accurate theme association is extracted while avoiding the inefficiency of processing the entire video dataset, thus maintaining information completeness without sacrificing processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system autonomously identifies and processes only the video segments that contain meaningful information related to the theme. By self-selecting the relevant portions of video data for processing, the system ensures that no critical information is missed while maintaining high processing efficiency through intelligent selection rather than exhaustive processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
