Backup Storage Data Search Program Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional plant operation data acquiring apparatuses face difficulties in directly searching and displaying data from backup storage media due to the need for data restoration before display, limiting the effective use of backup data.
Innovation Solution
A plant operation data acquiring apparatus is designed with a data search unit and a simple data search program that allows direct searching and display of plant operation data from backup storage media by backing up the data and search program together, enabling direct access without the need for restoration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If backup data is stored in separate backup storage medium, then data storage capacity is improved, but data accessibility and ease of operation deteriorate due to restoration requirement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the backup storage medium with the data search program to create an integrated system. The backup storage medium not only stores backup data but also stores the data search program that can directly search and display backup data without restoration, merging storage and search functions into one unified system.
Solution Approach 2:
The data search program is preliminarily installed on the backup storage medium itself, enabling direct search capability before any data access is needed. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for restoration operations when searching backup data, as the search program is already in position on the backup medium.
2Loss of information
If data restoration is performed before display, then data search functionality is improved, but time consumption and productivity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The data search program is preliminarily installed on the backup storage medium, enabling direct search capability before any data access is needed. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for restoration operations when searching backup data, as the search program is already in position on the backup medium.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the data search program from the main data acquiring apparatus and places it directly on the backup storage medium. This separation allows the search program to operate independently on the backup medium without requiring the main apparatus to restore data first, removing the restoration step from the search process.
3Quantity of substance
If backup storage medium is used for data backup, then storage capacity utilization is improved, but device complexity increases due to separate search system requirement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the backup storage medium with the data search program to create an integrated system. The backup storage medium not only stores backup data but also stores the data search program that can directly search and display backup data without restoration, merging storage and search functions into one unified system.
Solution Approach 2:
The backup storage medium is given multiple functions: it serves as both the storage medium for backup data and as the platform for the data search program. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate search systems and reduces overall system complexity while maintaining full search capability.
