Solution Overview

Problem

In distributed systems, the amount of communication data increases with the number of transmission nodes, leading to longer communication times due to the need to collect and manage state information from multiple nodes.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced where coefficients are calculated based on state information and identification data from transmission nodes with abnormalities, reducing the data amount transmitted by using these coefficients to solve an equation, thereby minimizing communication data between transmission nodes and a reception node.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If state information from all transmission nodes is collected at once, then the reception node can manage the states of all transmission nodes, but the amount of communication data increases and communication time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestate management capabilityVSAvoidcommunication time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential information needed for abnormality detection by calculating coefficients from state information and identification information of nodes with abnormalities. Instead of transmitting all state information from all nodes, only the calculated coefficients are transmitted to the reception node, which can then reconstruct the necessary state data. This extraction principle reduces communication data volume while maintaining the ability to manage transmission node states.

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If state information from all transmission nodes is collected at once, then the reception node can detect abnormalities in all transmission nodes, but the amount of communication data increases in accordance with the number of transmission nodes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveabnormality detection capabilityVSAvoidcommunication data amount
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the state information and identification information into a different parameter form (coefficients of an equation) that contains the same essential information but in a compressed format. By changing the parameter representation from raw state data to calculated coefficients, the communication data amount is reduced while preserving the abnormality detection capability. The reception node uses these coefficients to reconstruct the necessary state information.
