Current technologies face challenges in efficiently processing and analyzing large volumes of big data, particularly 'dark data,' which is often neglected or underutilized, making it difficult to extract actionable insights in a timely manner.

Innovation Solution

A cognitive information processing system that receives data from multiple sources, establishes a dynamic data ingestion and enrichment pipeline, utilizing cognitive inference and learning operations to process and generate cognitive insights through semantic analysis, goal optimization, collaborative filtering, common sense reasoning, natural language processing, and entity resolution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional data processing approaches are used to handle big data, then data can be processed using conventional tools, but processing efficiency is insufficient and time intervals are not tolerable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing time interval
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data processing task into multiple parallel processing nodes distributed across a network. Each node independently processes portions of the big data using machine learning models, enabling concurrent execution and significantly improving processing efficiency while reducing overall processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a distributed network infrastructure as an intermediary between data sources and analysis tools. This intermediary layer enables efficient data transmission and coordination among multiple processing nodes, allowing scalable processing of large datasets without centralized bottlenecks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If dark data is collected and stored, then potential insights are available, but the data remains neglected and underutilized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveactionable insightsVSAvoiddata utilization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables dark data to self-organize and become useful through automated machine learning processes. The system automatically discovers patterns and relationships in previously neglected data without requiring manual curation or structured formatting, transforming underutilized data into actionable insights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the analytical parameters applied to dark data by using advanced machine learning algorithms that can process unstructured and semi-structured data formats. This parameter change enables the system to extract meaningful patterns from data that traditional processing methods could not utilize effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If multiple data sources are integrated, then comprehensive analysis is possible, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive data analysis capabilityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal data processing framework that can handle multiple data sources and formats through a single standardized interface. The machine learning models are designed to be multi-functional, processing various types of data (structured, unstructured, semi-structured) through the same pipeline, thereby reducing system complexity despite integrating diverse data sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
