Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional appliances face challenges in diagnosing and addressing defective components due to large data files generated during operation, which are prohibitive for streaming and storage, and multi-sourcing components lead to quality and performance issues that are difficult to manage effectively.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for data transmission using genealogical data encoded in a positional numeral system, allowing for efficient decoding and analysis of appliance configurations, enabling targeted recalls and improvements by transmitting small data packets that include configuration identifiers, supplier information, and logistical data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional appliances collect and store detailed operational data during operation, then diagnostic capability is improved, but data file size becomes prohibitively large for streaming and storage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential diagnostic information from the complete operational data set. Instead of transmitting entire data files, the system identifies and transmits only critical parameters such as error codes, operational status flags, and key performance indicators that are sufficient for diagnostic purposes, thereby dramatically reducing data volume while maintaining diagnostic capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the complete operational data into multiple categories and transmits only the relevant segments based on diagnostic needs. Data is divided into operational parameters, error logs, performance metrics, and configuration information, with only necessary segments being transmitted for specific diagnostic scenarios
2Measurement precision
If appliances transmit large datasets for data analysis, then diagnostic accuracy is improved, but network bandwidth consumption and transmission time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and transmits only the essential diagnostic parameters needed for accurate diagnosis, eliminating unnecessary data transmission. By identifying critical performance indicators and error-related parameters, the system achieves diagnostic accuracy without the overhead of transmitting complete operational datasets
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by transmitting only the necessary portion of operational data required for diagnosis. Instead of sending complete datasets, the system transmits a curated subset of parameters that are sufficient for identifying and resolving appliance issues, thereby reducing transmission time and bandwidth consumption
3Loss of information
If manufacturers aggregate and store large amounts of appliance data at servers, then data analysis capability is improved, but storage costs and technical requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential information needed for data analysis from complete operational datasets. By identifying and transmitting only critical parameters such as error patterns, performance trends, and configuration data, the system enables effective data analysis at the server while dramatically reducing the volume of data that needs to be stored and processed
4Reliability
If appliances use multiple component suppliers to reduce supply chain risk, then supply chain reliability is improved, but component quality consistency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms that track component performance data back to specific suppliers and batch numbers. By monitoring quality metrics and performance parameters for components from different suppliers, the system provides feedback that enables manufacturers to identify quality variations and adjust sourcing strategies, thereby maintaining supply chain reliability while managing quality consistency
