Centralized Data Storage for Informational Household Appliances
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current data storage methods for informational household appliances either require significant storage and processing capabilities within the appliances themselves, leading to management challenges, or rely on non-real-time web-based communication that is inefficient and unsuitable for mobile devices.
Innovation Solution
A data storing system comprising a home database server, a household gateway server, and a data managing server that stores and manages data centrally, allowing appliances to report their status in real-time and reducing the need for local storage, enabling unified management and efficient data access through a network.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data of the informational household appliance is stored in the informational household appliance itself, then the appliance can directly provide data to network servers or terminals, but the appliance requires great data storing and processing capability which increases device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the data storage function from the informational household appliance and relocates it to a dedicated database server in the network. The appliance retains only minimal identification information, while comprehensive appliance data is stored externally, reducing the appliance's storage and processing burden while maintaining data availability through network access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a database server as an intermediary between the informational household appliance and network users. This intermediary centralizes data storage and management, allowing multiple appliances to be managed uniformly while reducing individual appliance complexity. The database server acts as a mediator that handles data requests without requiring direct appliance-server connections.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a great variety of informational household appliances are available with big differences in their respective modes of data storing and communication, then diverse appliance functionality is achieved, but unified management on data of large amount of informational household appliances becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal database server that can manage diverse informational household appliances with different data storage and communication modes. The server provides unified data access interfaces and management capabilities that work across various appliance types, enabling single-point management while maintaining support for appliance diversity through standardized network protocols.
3Ease of manufacture
If network communication based on web page accessing is used to obtain data of an informational household appliance, then existing Internet resources are made good use of, but the communication is not in real time and large amount of data including page information needs to be transferred
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential appliance data from the web page structure, eliminating unnecessary page information such as formatting and styling. The database server stores and provides only the core appliance data, reducing transfer volume and enabling real-time access without the overhead of complete web page transmission.
4Ease of operation
If web page accessing method is used to manage informational household appliance, then data can be accessed remotely, but mobile terminals are not suitable for web page accessing due to feature limits and communication means
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the data access interface from web page format to simplified data formats suitable for mobile terminals. The database server provides data in formats optimized for mobile device capabilities, enabling remote access through mobile terminals without requiring full web browsing functionality. This parameter change in data presentation format enhances mobile compatibility while maintaining remote access capability.
Data Source
AI summary
A data storing system and data processing method of the informational household appliance are provided. The system includes: one or plurality of home database server of informational household appliance which connected with each other, one or plurality of household gateway server, and one or plurality of data managing server of informational household appliance. The data processing method includes: the data processing method of the informational household appliance on-lining, off-lining and status data updating thereof, and the current status of informational household appliance in real-time reflects to the data managing server of informational household appliance through the household gateway server by this data processing method. The data of the informational household appliance can be stored separately from the informational household appliance, and the data of the informational household appliance can be unitedly managed by the system and method.
