3D Spatial Identifier Hierarchy for Cross-System Data Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current spatiotemporal data management systems, such as those described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2014-002519, restrict access to spatiotemporal subareas, preventing users from different systems from utilizing information on these areas due to the processor-centric approach in generating and managing identifiers for these subareas.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that includes a storage unit for unique identifiers allocated to spatial subareas in a three-dimensional space and a control unit to store spatial information associated with these identifiers, allowing for the management and sharing of spatial information across systems, enabling users to access and utilize information on spatiotemporal subareas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a processor-centric approach is used to generate and manage identifiers for spatiotemporal subareas, then the processor can efficiently manage its own generated data, but users of different systems cannot utilize information on the spatiotemporal subareas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a standardized identifier system that serves multiple functions: it enables the generating processor to manage its data efficiently while simultaneously allowing users of different systems to access and utilize spatiotemporal subarea information. The identifier structure is designed to be universally interpretable across system boundaries.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of a standardized identifier representation system that mediates between the processor's internal data management needs and external user access requirements. This intermediary layer translates processor-generated identifiers into a format that can be universally understood and used by different systems.
2Measurement precision
If unique identifiers are allocated to spatiotemporal subareas for precise tracking, then data organization is improved, but access to this data is restricted to the generating processor only
Solution Approach 1:
The identifier system is designed to serve dual purposes: maintaining precise spatial identification for data organization while simultaneously enabling broad access for users across different systems. The same identifier structure achieves both precision and accessibility goals.
Solution Approach 2:
The standardized identifier acts as an intermediary that bridges the gap between precise internal tracking requirements and external accessibility needs. It translates precise spatial information into a universally accessible format without losing identification accuracy.
