Solution Overview

Problem

In analysis systems, the reliability of output analysis data is compromised when the registration application program is not executed, leading to vulnerability and potential falsification of data stored in the analysis control server, which can impact the integrity of data registered in the database.

Innovation Solution

An analysis database registration device that creates a save region for analysis data files, determines if the data is saved in this region, registers the data in the analysis database when confirmed, and makes the region unavailable upon instruction, ensuring that only data saved within this controlled environment is registered, thereby enhancing data security and reliability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the registration application program is not executed, then the analysis data can be saved in the analysis control server, but the data becomes vulnerable to falsification and security compromises

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata saving capabilityVSAvoiddata integrity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a dedicated save region in storage before data saving occurs, and establishes the registration application program as a prerequisite condition. This preliminary setup ensures that data can only be saved through the controlled registration process, preventing unauthorized modification while maintaining saving functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The registration application program acts as an intermediary between the analysis control server and the storage system. It mediates the data saving process by requiring program execution to access the save region, thereby ensuring data integrity while allowing necessary data operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the registration application program is always executed to ensure data reliability, then data security is improved, but system complexity and operational constraints increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata securityVSAvoidsystem operational constraints

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The storage system is segmented into a controlled save region and other storage areas. The save region is specifically designated for use when the registration application program is executed, separating secure data paths from general storage operations. This segmentation maintains security without requiring the program to run for all system operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different security levels are applied to different storage regions. The save region created by the creator has specific security characteristics (requiring registration program execution), while other storage areas maintain their normal access patterns. This localized quality approach ensures data security where needed without unnecessarily complicating the entire system.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If a save region is always available for data saving, then data can be continuously registered, but the risk of registering vulnerable data increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata registration continuityVSAvoiddata vulnerability prevention

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The availability of the save region is made dynamic rather than static. The region is created and becomes accessible only when the registration application program is executed, and its availability changes based on the program's execution state. This dynamic control allows continuous registration capability while preventing vulnerable data registration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback control where the execution state of the registration application program determines the accessibility of the save region. When the program is executed, the save region is available; when not executed, the region becomes unavailable or restricted. This feedback mechanism ensures productivity is maintained only under reliable conditions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A save folder to be used in order for an analysis data acquisition device to save an analysis data file in a storage is created by a creator. When a file determiner determines that the analysis data file is saved in the created save folder, the analysis data file saved in the save folder is registered by a registrator in an analysis database of a database storage device. When an end determiner determines that an instruction for ending registration of the analysis data file in the analysis database has been given, a region processor makes the save folder unavailable for the registration of the analysis data file in the analysis database.
