Solution Overview
Problem
The existing system requires developers to manually register data models for each air conditioner type, combination, and number, making data management cumbersome and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A system where a terminal acquires and transmits a data model indicating the data structure from the air conditioner to a server, which manages and registers the data model, allowing for unified handling and management of data across various air conditioners without the need for manual registration by developers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the server acquires data collected by each air conditioner manually registered by developers, then the data structure can be managed, but the registration process becomes cumbersome and inefficient when air conditioner types, combinations, or numbers change
Solution Approach 1:
The air conditioner automatically transmits its own data model to the server without requiring developer intervention. The terminal acquires the data model from the air conditioner and transmits it to the server, enabling the system to self-register new device types and configurations automatically
Solution Approach 2:
The data model is prepared in advance within the air conditioner itself, containing all necessary information about data structures, components, and sensors. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for manual registration during deployment
2Manufacturing precision
If developers register data models for every air conditioner configuration, then data accuracy is maintained, but the time and effort required for registration increases
Solution Approach 1:
The air conditioner autonomously provides its own data model information to the server through the terminal, eliminating the time-consuming manual registration process while maintaining accuracy since the data comes directly from the device itself
Solution Approach 2:
The data model is copied from the air conditioner's internal storage to the server through the terminal, creating an accurate replica of the device's data structure without requiring manual entry or interpretation
Data Source
AI summary
Facilitates the management of data without having the developer or the like of the air conditioner register the data model of the air conditioner. A system includes an air conditioner; a terminal configured to communicate with the air conditioner; and a server configured to communicate with the terminal, wherein the terminal includes a control unit configured to acquire, from the air conditioner, a data model indicating a data structure of data collected by the air conditioner, and transmit the data model to the server.
