Central Data Portal for Aggregating Multi-Asset Sensor Streams
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for transmitting external data are limited in their ability to combine information from multiple data sources for transmission and evaluation using a single data transmission source, leading to separate processing, storage, and visualization of data related to persons, vehicles, machineries, assets, buildings, or external environments.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented system and method for evaluating and transmitting combined external data from one or more assets to a central data portal, which includes a data processing device configured to collect and process sensor data from assets, evaluate status data based on predefined criteria, and transmit this data to the central data portal for storage and visualization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing systems transmit external data independently from multiple sources, then each data source can be processed separately, but the system cannot combine information from different data sources for unified transmission and evaluation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple independent data transmission sources into a single unified data portal. The system collects data from various external sources (vehicles, buildings, machinery, persons, environments) and consolidates it at a centralized portal for combined processing, storage, and visualization, eliminating the need for separate transmission paths for each data type.
Solution Approach 2:
The single data portal serves multiple functions by handling diverse data types from different sources. It universally processes sensor data from vehicles, building data, machinery status, person information, and environmental measurements through a common platform, enabling unified evaluation and visualization across all asset categories.
2Adaptability or versatility
If data from multiple sources is processed separately, then each data type can be handled with dedicated processing logic, but the system cannot provide unified evaluation and visualization capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines separate processing logic for different data types into a unified evaluation framework at the central portal. The portal integrates processing capabilities for vehicles, buildings, machinery, persons, and environmental data, allowing combined analysis and cross-referencing of multiple data sources through a single interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The central data portal acts as an intermediary between multiple data sources and the user interface. It receives diverse data from various sources, performs unified evaluation and processing, and presents consolidated information through a single visualization interface, simplifying the overall system operation while enabling comprehensive analysis.
3Productivity
If multiple data transmission devices are used, then each device can be optimized for specific data types, but the system requires more devices and infrastructure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent consolidates multiple data transmission devices into a single centralized data portal. Instead of having separate optimized transmission paths for each data type, the system uses one unified transmission infrastructure that handles all data types, reducing the number of devices while maintaining transmission efficiency through centralized processing.

AI summary
Systems and methods for evaluating and transmitting combined external data from one or more assets are described herein. An example method may include collecting, by a data processing device communicatively coupled to a central data portal, sensor data from one or more assets, processing, by the data processing device, the sensor data to evaluate status data concerning a status of the one or more assets, where the evaluation of the status data is enabled or disabled based on a predefined criterion for a proximity of a first asset of the one or more assets and a second asset of the one or more assets, transmitting, by the data processing device, the status data to the central data portal, and storing and visualizing, by the central data portal, the status data.
