Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional memory recovery methods are used, then the process is simple and low-cost, but the effectiveness and speed of memory recovery is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememory recovery effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an external recognition device as an intermediary between the user and the memory recovery process. This device collects scene data, extracts features, and stores them in a database, serving as a mediator that compensates for the user's memory loss without requiring complex internal brain stimulation or modification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a digital copy of memory information by extracting features from scene data and storing them in a database. This copied memory information can then be retrieved and presented to the user, providing a backup that preserves memory without requiring complex biological intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Productivity

If automated recognition and data collection systems are implemented, then memory recovery speed and accuracy is improved, but the device complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememory recovery speedVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the memory recovery process into distinct modules: data collection by the recognition device, feature extraction by the processing unit, database storage, and information retrieval. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific tasks independently, improving overall efficiency while managing complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts salient features from the collected scene data using automated recognition algorithms. By taking out only the essential feature information rather than storing all raw data, the system reduces data processing complexity while maintaining high recovery speed and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of information

If comprehensive data collection from multiple senses is performed, then the completeness of memory information is improved, but the data processing and storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememory information completenessVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the salient features from the comprehensive multi-sense data collected by the recognition device. This extraction process filters out redundant information while preserving essential memory details, thereby maintaining information completeness without proportionally increasing data storage requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different processing methods to different types of sensory data based on their local quality and importance. By prioritizing and processing the most salient features from each sense modality, the system maintains comprehensive memory information while optimizing data storage efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
