Active Data Push System for Zone-Based Device Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing data center management systems face challenges in efficiently recognizing specific electronic devices due to increased complexity and costs associated with identifier placement and reading, leading to inefficient maintenance and data retrieval processes.
Innovation Solution
An active data push system that uses human-detection devices to send trigger signals to a management system, which then retrieves and transmits basic data of electronic devices installed in the detected zone to a mobile device, eliminating the need for physical identifier reading and reducing maintenance burdens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If identifiers are pasted on electronic devices for recognition, then device identification is enabled, but management cost and maintenance complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the identification function from physical identifiers and relocates it to electronic devices themselves. Each electronic device generates and carries its own identification information, eliminating the need for separate identifier tags. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining identification capability while removing the complexity of managing external identifiers.
Solution Approach 2:
Electronic devices automatically generate, store, and transmit their own identification information without requiring external identifier tags. The devices self-serve the identification function that previously required separate identifier components, thereby reducing management complexity while maintaining reliable device identification.
2Loss of information
If reading devices are used to read identifiers, then device information can be retrieved, but device-purchasing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the data storage and transmission function from external reading devices and relocates it to the electronic devices themselves. Each device carries its own identification information that can be directly accessed by the management system, eliminating the need for expensive specialized reading devices while maintaining full data retrieval capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The management system is designed to universally communicate with electronic devices through standard communication protocols, allowing it to retrieve identification information directly from any device without requiring specialized reading devices. This multi-functional approach reduces system cost while maintaining comprehensive data retrieval capability.
3Loss of information
If manual reading of identifiers is performed, then device data can be collected, but time efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
Electronic devices pre-generate and store their identification information internally before any retrieval operation. When the management system needs device information, it is already prepared and can be transmitted immediately through communication interfaces, eliminating the time-consuming manual reading process while ensuring complete data collection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements automated feedback loops where electronic devices actively transmit their identification information to the management system upon request or automatically. This feedback mechanism replaces manual reading with automated data collection, significantly improving time efficiency while ensuring complete device data collection.

AI summary
An active data push system comprising a plurality of human-detection devices and a management system is presented. The human-detection devices respectively send a trigger signal when detecting a human entrance into one of a plurality of zones. The management system recognizes the zone detected with the human entrance when receiving the trigger signal, and retrieves a basic data of each electronic device installed in the recognized zone, and transmits the retrieved basic data to a mobile device held by the human.
