CAD Model Synchronization with Configurable Conflict Resolution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computer-aided design (CAD) models face data conflicts between local and remote versions due to inadequate control and customization during resolution processes, leading to management challenges.
Innovation Solution
A data sync module compares data elements from a CAD program version with a remote management platform, automatically resolving conflicts using predetermined rules and generating an interactivity layer for synchronized models.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If local and remote versions of CAD models are maintained simultaneously, then data redundancy and backup capability are improved, but data conflicts between versions occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a remote management platform as an intermediary between local CAD models and central servers. This platform acts as a mediator that receives, manages, and synchronizes data updates bidirectionally, preventing direct conflicts between local and remote versions while maintaining data redundancy and backup capabilities
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual conflict resolution processes are used between CAD versions, then customization control is improved, but resolution efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements predetermined conflict resolution rules that are established in advance through user preferences and system configurations. When data conflicts occur, these pre-set rules automatically determine resolution actions without requiring manual intervention, thereby maintaining customization control while significantly improving resolution efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables automatic self-resolution of data conflicts by comparing local and remote version data, identifying conflicts, and applying predetermined resolution rules autonomously. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual conflict resolution while preserving user-defined customization preferences
3Productivity
If automatic conflict resolution rules are implemented, then resolution efficiency is improved, but control and customization options deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a dynamic conflict resolution system where predetermined rules can be flexibly configured and modified by users through preference settings. The system adapts to different user needs and scenarios by allowing customization of resolution behaviors, ensuring both high automation efficiency and adequate control options coexist
4Stability of the object's composition
If data synchronization is performed frequently, then data consistency between versions is improved, but system resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic data synchronization through scheduled tasks that automatically compare and update local and remote CAD model versions at predetermined intervals. This periodic approach maintains data consistency while optimizing system resource usage by avoiding continuous real-time synchronization
Data Source
AI summary
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for performing a data sync operation are described. A described technique includes receiving an indication to start a data synchronization between a first version of a computer design model and a second version of the computer design model. In some implementations, first data is extracted from the first version and second data is extracted from the second version. The first data is compared with the second data. Based on the comparison, the first data is updated using the second data, the second data is updated using the first data, or the first data is updated using the second data and the second data is updated using the first data. A geospatial representation is generated using at least one of the updated second data or the updated first data.
