Hello:
First of all, you need to make it clear that when applying for claims, you cannot write "protect a technology". You'd better first determine whether you want to protect a product or a technology. A method or a use. From your description, I infer that you want to protect a method that can be described in several ways. Is that correct?
In that case, it is recommended that you first write down the most special and different aspects of this method and the existing technology as independent claims, and then add its other features as dependent claims one by one. On the back, this protects your method as much as possible.
If your technology can lead to a new product, it is recommended that you mainly protect the product, supplemented by the method, and apply for two parallel independent claims in one application, so that the scope of protection can be wider Some.
Your instructions are also written like this in the technical plan: first, write down the most distinctive aspects of your method, and then write down the preferred methods item by item.
If the instructions and drawings are attached, please be careful not to include text in them, and number them with Arabic numerals (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.). If the invention patent application only protects the method but not the product, you do not need to include the instructions and drawings.
If you have any questions, please continue to ask me. I hope the answer will be helpful to you.

If there are too many combinations of technical methods, try to use functional limitations to describe the product (what do you mean? Do you want to protect the product or the method? There is no such category as protection technology)
