Automatic Data Search and Transfer Apparatus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data search and transfer systems face challenges in efficiently searching and collecting large-volume data from network-connected computers, leading to time lags and inefficient resource utilization, as they often require repeated searches and cannot handle data updates or deletions in real-time.
Innovation Solution
An automatic search and transfer apparatus that uses a keyword input section, search section, reporting section, and reception section to continuously monitor and collect data from network-connected computers, reporting attribute data and allowing for the reception of data only when necessary, thereby maintaining data in an immediately usable state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If video data is copied from local computers to a video server using conventional search methods, then data can be collected from multiple sources, but time lags occur and repeated searches are necessary when data is added after initial search
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring local computers for data changes before the user actually needs the data. The search apparatus proactively detects when video data is added or modified and prepares to transfer it automatically, eliminating the need for users to perform repeated searches after data is added.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention implements continuous monitoring of local computers to detect data changes in real-time. The search apparatus maintains ongoing connection with local computers, continuously checking for new or modified video data, ensuring that data availability is continuous rather than intermittent, thus eliminating time lags.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional search methods are used to find video data, then data can be searched by title or marker, but the search scope is limited to local computers and does not extend to network-connected computers
Solution Approach 1:
The search apparatus is designed with universal functionality to search both local computers and network-connected computers using the same interface and methods. Users can specify search conditions once, and the system automatically executes searches across all connected computers, whether local or remote, without requiring different procedures or increased complexity.
3Extent of automation
If automatic search and collection of data is implemented, then data can be collected automatically, but system resources are consumed continuously even when data is not needed
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs feedback mechanisms where the search apparatus monitors data changes and only initiates transfers when actual changes are detected. The monitoring process receives feedback about data modifications, and the transfer process is triggered only when feedback indicates new or updated data is available, preventing continuous resource consumption during periods when no data changes occur.

AI summary
An automatic search and transfer apparatus that automatically searches for and transfers data one or more computers connected via a network, that includes a keyword input section that inputs at least one keyword, a search section that searches for data including the at least one keyword and acquires attribute data of concerned data from the one or more computers connected via the network, a reporting section that reports information relating to the concerned data to a user, a reception section that receives the concerned data from one or more computers, and a data storage section that stores the data. The reporting section reports acquisition of the attribute data to the user when the attribute data is acquired, and the reception section starts reception of the concerned data after the reporting section has reported the acquisition of the attribute data of the concerned data to the user.
