Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If artificial neural networks are used to detect anomalies, then measurement precision improves, but device complexity and resource consumption increase exponentially with the number of hidden neuron layers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanomaly detection accuracyVSAvoidnetwork structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the anomaly detection task into multiple specialized neural networks, each trained on a specific group of wavelet coefficients. Instead of using one large complex network, the system divides the coefficient groups and creates specialized networks for each group, then integrates their outputs. This segmentation reduces the complexity of individual networks while maintaining overall detection accuracy through the coordinated work of multiple specialized networks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If the number of hidden neuron layers increases to improve pattern recognition, then measurement precision improves, but resource consumption increases exponentially

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepattern recognition accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the computational workload by dividing wavelet coefficients into multiple groups and training separate neural networks on each group. This segmentation allows each individual network to have fewer layers and lower computational requirements, while the collective ensemble of networks achieves high pattern recognition accuracy. The resource consumption is distributed across multiple simpler networks rather than concentrated in one deep network.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by training multiple neural networks on different subsets of coefficient groups rather than training one network on all data. Each network processes only a portion of the total coefficient groups, reducing the computational burden per network. The integration of multiple partial results achieves comprehensive anomaly detection without requiring any single network to process the entire dataset with excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Ease of operation

If discrete data is stored in relational databases, then ease of operation improves, but resource consumption increases due to costly searches and concatenations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage accessibilityVSAvoiddata retrieval resource cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces wavelet transforms as an intermediary layer between the raw transaction data and the neural network processing. By transforming transaction data into wavelet coefficients before storage and analysis, the system creates a more efficient intermediate representation that reduces the computational cost of subsequent operations. The wavelet coefficients serve as an intermediary form that is more suitable for the pattern recognition tasks than raw discrete data, reducing resource consumption during retrieval and analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If multiple extant methods (rules, trees, networks) are implemented separately, then adaptability improves, but device complexity and processing efficiency worsen due to handling disparate results

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection method flexibilityVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple detection approaches by integrating multiple specialized neural networks into a unified deep field network architecture. Each specialized network processes different coefficient groups, and their results are combined through the deep field network framework. This merging maintains the adaptability benefits of having multiple specialized components while reducing the overall system complexity by providing a unified integration framework that automatically combines results, eliminating the need for manual handling of disparate outputs from separate rule-based, decision tree, and neural network systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for detecting and identifying anomalies within a discrete wavelet database. In one implementation, the system may include one or more memories storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions. The instructions may include instructions to receive a new wavelet, convert the net transaction to a wavelet, convert the wavelet to a tensor using an exponential smoothing average, calculate a difference field between the tensor and a field having one or more previous transactions represented as tensors, perform a weighted summation of the difference field to produce a difference vector, apply one or more models to the difference vector to determine a likelihood of the new wavelet representing an anomaly, and add the new wavelet to the field when the likelihood is below a threshold.
