Solution Overview

Problem

The inconsistent determination of the time point for applying a transferred model leads to inefficiencies in reliability and latency of communication functions, potentially causing operations to be performed too early or too late, resulting in suboptimal performance or unnecessary delays.

Innovation Solution

A method for determining a model application time (MAT) based on factors such as model transfer type, number of transfers, number of models, and model transfer unit, allowing for precise timing of model application and reducing delays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a consistently defined time point is used for all model transfers, then the system operation is simplified, but the reliability and latency of communication functions deteriorate due to mismatch between operation timing and model readiness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoidcommunication function reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a static, uniformly defined time point for all model transfers to a dynamic, adaptive time point determination mechanism. The time point is now adjusted based on specific model characteristics (structure, size, complexity) and receiving device capabilities (processing speed, memory), allowing the system to optimize reliability and latency for each individual model transfer while maintaining operational simplicity through automated adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of information

If a consistently defined time point is used for all model transfers, then the signaling overhead is reduced, but the latency of communication functions increases due to unnecessary waiting or premature operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignaling overheadVSAvoidcommunication function latency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the time point parameter for model application based on specific characteristics of each model (such as structure, size, and complexity) and the capabilities of the receiving device. This allows the system to optimize latency for each model transfer by adjusting the application time parameter dynamically, rather than using a fixed time point for all transfers, thereby reducing unnecessary waiting periods and premature operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If the model application time is determined individually for each model, then the reliability and latency of communication functions are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication function reliabilityVSAvoidmodel transfer management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by enabling the system to automatically determine optimal model application times based on predefined criteria and characteristics of each model, without requiring complex manual configuration or intervention. The receiving device autonomously assesses its own capabilities and the model properties to determine the appropriate application time, reducing the need for complex external coordination and management mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Loss of time

If the model application time is determined individually for each model, then the latency of communication functions is reduced, but the signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication function latencyVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining the criteria and parameters for determining model application times based on model characteristics and device capabilities. This preliminary setup allows the system to quickly determine optimal application times during actual model transfers without requiring extensive real-time signaling or negotiation, thereby reducing latency while minimizing the increase in signaling overhead through efficient use of pre-established parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
