Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems face inefficiencies in processing and updating data for exchanges in capacity plans, particularly in handling abatement periods and customization, leading to increased processing power and memory usage.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a multi-data structure architecture that uses containers with specified parameters to store and manage abatement data, allowing for real-time updates and customization of abatement periods for exchanges, thereby reducing the need for extensive data retrieval and processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single database is used to store data for each exchange, then data storage is simplified, but processing power requirements increase significantly due to repeated queries and function execution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage structureVSAvoidprocessing power
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the single database into multiple specialized data structures (ledger, sub-ledgers, containers, and data marketplaces) that segment different types of exchange data. This segmentation allows the system to query only relevant portions of data rather than scanning entire databases, significantly reducing processing power requirements while maintaining storage efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple sets of parameters are used to specify exchange handling aspects, then customization and accuracy improve, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexchange handling precisionVSAvoidparameter management structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a hierarchical dimensional structure for parameters, organizing them across multiple levels (container-level parameters, sub-ledger parameters, and exchange-specific parameters). This dimensional organization allows the system to manage complex parameter sets systematically, improving precision in exchange handling while keeping the parameter management structure organized and maintainable through clear hierarchical relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media to handle abatement of an aspect for exchanges of a capacity plan. One system includes a communication network interface, a memory, and one or more processors. The communication network interface to interface with a communication network. The memory to store a plurality of containers of the capacity plan, each container corresponding to one or more exchanges of a plurality of exchanges of the capacity plan, and an abatement data structure to store abatement information for the plurality of exchanges of the capacity plan. The one or more processors generate abatement information for one or more exchanges corresponding to a given container, the abatement information indicating a current state of each exchange based on an abated aspect of the exchange, and update the abatement data structure to include the abatement information for the one or more exchanges corresponding to the given container.
