Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional device storage approaches are resource-intensive, error-prone, and unpredictable, particularly when users are not ready to retrieve devices at the end of the storage term.

Innovation Solution

An artificial intelligence-based device storage system that utilizes machine learning techniques to predict storage duration and likelihood of exceeding that duration, enabling automated actions such as notifications to users to retrieve or extend storage terms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional device storage approaches are used, then devices can be stored until users are ready to deploy, but the approach becomes resource-intensive and unpredictable when users do not retrieve devices at the end of the storage term

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictability of device retrievalVSAvoidresource intensity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by predicting storage duration and likelihood of term violation before the storage term ends. Machine learning models analyze historical data and user behavior patterns to forecast whether a user will retrieve the device on time, enabling proactive resource allocation and notification strategies that reduce waste and improve predictability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where prediction results inform automated actions such as sending notifications to users, extending storage terms, or reallocating resources. This closed-loop approach continuously improves predictability by learning from actual user behavior versus predicted behavior, while optimizing resource utilization based on updated predictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If conventional device storage approaches are used, then devices can be stored for extended periods, but errors increase and resource utilization decreases when users are not ready to retrieve

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice retrieval efficiencyVSAvoidaccuracy of storage term completion
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary predictions of storage duration and term violation likelihood before the storage term expires. This enables advance preparation of retrieval processes, proactive user notifications, and timely resource reallocation, thereby improving retrieval efficiency and reducing errors associated with last-minute operations or unexpected term violations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service through automated actions that respond to prediction outcomes without human intervention. Automated notifications are sent to users based on predicted behavior, and resource allocation is automatically adjusted based on prediction results, improving efficiency while maintaining high accuracy through continuous learning from actual outcomes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
