Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems require users to have database knowledge to access and process measurement data, leading to increased processing load and difficulty for non-experts.

Innovation Solution

A data visualization apparatus that obtains measurement data and calculation results, sets user-specific access authorities, and creates confirmation screens, separating authorities for display components and screens to manage access and reduce database processing load.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users directly access and process measurement data from the database, then data processing capability is achieved, but processing load increases and operation becomes difficult for non-experts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing capabilityVSAvoidoperation difficulty for non-experts
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer between users and the database that automatically performs data processing tasks. This intermediary system handles complex database operations, calculations, and data retrieval without requiring users to have specialized knowledge, thereby maintaining productivity while improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically performing data processing operations that would otherwise require expert intervention. The automated processing reduces the burden on users and eliminates the need for manual database queries, making the system accessible to non-experts while maintaining efficient data processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If users directly access measurement data from the database, then data access is achieved, but processing load on the database increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata access capabilityVSAvoiddatabase processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts processing functions from the database system and implements them as separate automated processing components. By taking out the data processing logic from the database itself and implementing it externally, the system reduces the processing load on the database while maintaining easy data access for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If comprehensive data access is provided to all users, then data availability is improved, but system security and data protection are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata availabilityVSAvoidsystem security
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by providing different levels of data access and processing capabilities to different users or user groups. The system can tailor the amount and type of data each user can access based on their specific needs and authorization levels, thereby maintaining high data availability for authorized users while ensuring system security through differentiated access control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
