Digital Content Processing Node Merging

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing digital content processing technologies face inefficiencies due to repeated steps, leading to increased processing time and resource wastage when attempting to achieve different results from the same digital content.

Innovation Solution

A digital content processing method that decomposes and orchestrates processing steps by merging multiple same one-time processing steps into a single processing node, reducing redundant processing through the use of digital fingerprints and a digital fingerprint tree for efficient content processing and storage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple same one-time processing steps are executed separately for each processing process, then different results can be obtained from the same digital content, but processing time increases and processing resources are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveability to obtain different results from same digital contentVSAvoidprocessing time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple same one-time processing steps across different processing processes into a single shared processing node. This processing node is defined once and can be reused by multiple processing processes, eliminating redundant executions while maintaining the ability to produce different results through different processing chains that share common steps.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal processing node that serves multiple processing processes simultaneously. This processing node is designed to be reusable and can be invoked by different processing processes that need to perform the same one-time processing step, making the system more efficient while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If processing steps are merged into one processing node, then repeated steps are reduced and processing time is shortened, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the processing system into distinct processing processes and reusable processing nodes. Each processing node represents a discrete one-time processing step that can be independently defined and reused. This segmentation allows for modular design where complexity is managed through clear separation of concerns and reusable components.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary action by defining processing nodes once in advance before they are needed by multiple processing processes. This upfront definition eliminates the need to recreate the same processing logic multiple times and allows for centralized management and optimization of common processing steps.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
