Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automated skill creation from visual content is implemented, then skill development efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskill development efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the skill creation process into distinct modules: web resource browsing, image retrieval, object identification, classification, and skill information generation. Each module handles a specific aspect of visual content processing, allowing the complex task of automated skill creation to be managed through coordinated simpler sub-tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate processing components including image processing modules that extract visual features, object identification systems that recognize elements in images, and classification mechanisms that organize identified objects. These intermediaries bridge the gap between raw visual content and structured skill information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If visual content processing is added to skill creation, then user interaction capabilities are improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction capabilitiesVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing of visual content by pre-identifying objects, extracting features, and organizing image data before skill creation is actually needed. Web resources are browsed and images are retrieved in advance, with object identification and classification performed proactively, so that when skill creation is triggered, the heavy processing work has already been completed or is well underway.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Manufacturing precision

If machine learning algorithms are used for visual content classification, then skill quality is improved, but computational resources consumed increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskill qualityVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies machine learning algorithms selectively to specific aspects of visual content rather than processing all images uniformly. Object identification and classification are applied locally to relevant regions and elements within images, focusing computational resources on critical classification tasks while using simpler processing for other aspects of visual content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
