Solution Overview

Problem

Current cloud service providers lack flexible data protection configuration options for web data stored on websites, failing to provide adequate backup frequency, location, and compensation for data loss.

Innovation Solution

A backup data bank system is introduced that allows users to manage and protect their web data through a data directory with customizable protection schemes, sharing settings, and compensation for data loss, utilizing a cloud computing environment and API integration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If cloud service providers offer basic backup services, then data protection is provided, but data protection configuration options are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata protectionVSAvoiddata protection configuration options
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic protection schemes where backup frequency, retention period, and notification preferences can be adjusted in real-time based on user needs and data criticality. The protection configuration is not static but adapts to changing requirements, allowing users to modify backup schedules and parameters without system reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different protection schemes to different data sets based on their specific requirements. Each data set can have customized backup frequency, retention policies, and protection levels tailored to its importance and characteristics, rather than applying a uniform protection approach to all data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If cloud service providers implement comprehensive backup solutions, then data protection improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata protectionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically monitors data changes, determines backup requirements, and executes backup operations without requiring user intervention for each action. The system self-manages the complexity of scheduling, executing, and tracking backup operations while providing users with simple configuration interfaces and oversight capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a backup management service that acts as an intermediary between the user and the complex backup infrastructure. This service abstracts the complexity by handling authentication, data transmission, storage management, and recovery operations, exposing only essential configuration options to users while managing sophisticated backend processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If backup frequency is increased, then data protection improves, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata protectionVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic backup operations at configurable intervals (real-time, daily, weekly, monthly) based on data criticality and change frequency. Rather than continuous monitoring and backup, the system uses periodic snapshots at optimized intervals that balance protection needs with resource consumption, adjusting frequency based on data modification patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts backup parameters such as frequency, retention period, and compression level based on data characteristics, storage availability, and system load. Backup parameters are not fixed but change according to measured data change rates, storage capacity, and computational resources, optimizing the balance between protection and resource usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
