Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If data is integrated from multiple disparate systems (transmitting systems and digital tracking systems), then data utilization value is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata utilization valueVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs an intermediary system that receives data from multiple disparate sources (transmitting systems and digital tracking systems), processes it through standardized interfaces, and makes it available for computing operations. This intermediary layer abstracts the complexity of integrating different systems, allowing data to be utilized across platforms without directly managing the complexity of each individual system's integration protocols and data formats.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If data from disparate systems is integrated across different platforms, then computing operation versatility is improved, but data integration difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputing operation versatilityVSAvoiddata integration difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal data integration framework that can handle multiple types of input data from different systems (transmitting systems and digital tracking systems) and make it available for various computing operations across different platforms. The system uses standardized data structures and interfaces that work universally across disparate systems, enabling the same integration mechanism to serve multiple functions and platforms without requiring custom integration logic for each combination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If user authentication and data association operations are performed across multiple systems, then data security is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs user authentication and data association operations as preliminary actions before the main computing operations. By authenticating users and associating their data from multiple systems in advance, the system establishes secure access rights beforehand, allowing subsequent computing operations to proceed without repeated authentication overhead. This preliminary processing ensures data security while minimizing the time impact on actual computing tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

This disclosure is directed to a complex computing network for obtaining and using data from a transmitting system and a digital tracking and relaying system. An exemplary method comprises: receiving, from a transmitting system, a first input data associated with a registered user account; receiving, from a digital tracking and relaying system, a second input data associated with the registered user account and captured by a sensor comprised in the digital tracking and relaying system, wherein the second input data is transmitted via an application programming interface (API) comprised in or associated with the digital tracking and relaying system, the second input data comprising usage data associated with the digital tracking and relaying system; and associating at least one of the first input data or the second input data with the registered user account, thereby causing an update to the registered user account.
