Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If application developers manually decide on data storage methods and engage with database teams, then storage decisions can be customized according to specific requirements, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage decision accuracyVSAvoidtime for storage decision
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically analyzing incoming data streams and determining optimal storage methods without requiring application developers to manually consult with database teams. The automated data processing engine evaluates data characteristics and selects appropriate storage systems, eliminating the time-consuming manual decision-making process while maintaining storage decision quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical human interaction process (developers engaging with database teams) with an automated computational system. The data processing engine uses algorithms and cognitive computing techniques to substitute human decision-making, thereby reducing time loss while preserving the precision of storage decisions through systematic data analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Speed

If schema-based information storage systems are used with predefined structures, then data retrieval can be efficient, but the system becomes inflexible when additional fields need to be added in future

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retrieval speedVSAvoidflexibility for future field additions
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies dynamics by continuously monitoring incoming data streams and adapting storage decisions in real-time. The data processing engine evaluates current data characteristics and dynamically selects or modifies storage schemas, allowing the system to transition between structured and unstructured storage approaches based on evolving data requirements while maintaining retrieval efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by modifying storage schema parameters based on analyzed data patterns. When additional fields are anticipated or required, the system adjusts schema parameters dynamically, transforming rigid predefined structures into flexible configurations that accommodate future data needs without sacrificing current retrieval performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If cognitive computing techniques are used to automatically analyze data streams, then human intervention is eliminated and processing speed improves, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing throughputVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system reduces complexity through segmentation by dividing the data processing function into distinct modular components. The data processing engine is separated from the storage system, with clear interfaces between them. This modular architecture allows cognitive computing techniques to be implemented in the processing engine without overwhelming the entire system, enabling high productivity while managing complexity through organized functional segments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Stability of the object's composition

If automated rule-based systems are implemented to determine storage allocation, then consistency in storage decisions is improved, but the ability to handle unique or edge-case scenarios may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage decision consistencyVSAvoidhandling of unique scenarios
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system resolves the contradiction between consistency and adaptability through feedback mechanisms. The data processing engine analyzes storage performance and data pattern outcomes, using this feedback to refine its decision-making rules. This continuous learning process maintains consistent application of proven effective storage decisions while adapting to unique scenarios through accumulated knowledge, balancing stability with versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A system and a method for adaptive information storage management is provided. One or more parameters from an incoming data stream is identified based on a set of predetermined rules. The identified parameters correspond to a set of predetermined parameters. A subset of rules is applied, from the set of predetermined rules, on the incoming data stream. The subset of rules represent a series of iterative rules associated with each identified parameter. One or more data storage allocation files are generated that represent results of application of the set of predetermined rules and the subset of rules. The results include at least a storage system type identified from the storage system as optimal for storing the incoming data stream.
