Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data processing systems face inefficiencies due to lack of interoperability among devices, leading to processing delays, increased memory and energy usage, and complexity in verifying service performance and fraud prevention, especially in contexts like medical services.

Innovation Solution

A coordination server is used to standardize data formats, encodings, and protocols, facilitating data exchange among devices by converting verification data into modified formats that can be shared across different systems, and managing data to ensure accurate payment processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If devices use their own data formats, data types, data protocols to perform services, then device autonomy and functionality are maintained, but device interoperability deteriorates leading to processing delays and systemic inefficiencies

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedevice autonomyVSAvoiddata exchange efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a coordination server as an intermediary component that receives data from multiple devices using different protocols and formats, standardizes this data into a common format, and redistributes it to appropriate devices. This mediator resolves the interoperability conflict by maintaining device autonomy while enabling efficient data exchange through centralized standardization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If verification data including private personal information is shared among multiple parties to verify service performance and prevent fraud, then verification accuracy and fraud prevention are improved, but data security complexity and processing overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveverification accuracyVSAvoiddata security complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes sensitive personal information from verification data before sharing it among multiple parties. The coordination server processes verification data to retain only the information necessary for service verification and fraud prevention, eliminating PII that is not essential for the verification function. This reduces data security complexity while maintaining verification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of information

If large volumes of data with different formats and protocols are exchanged among devices to verify service performance and effectuate payment, then verification completeness is improved, but processing time and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveverification completenessVSAvoidprocessing delay

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary standardization of data formats and protocols at the coordination server before data is distributed to multiple parties. By pre-processing and normalizing verification data into a common format, the system avoids repeated format conversions during downstream processing, thereby reducing processing delays while maintaining verification completeness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The coordination server changes the parameters of exchanged data by converting different data formats, encodings, and protocols into a standardized format. This parameter transformation enables efficient processing across multiple devices without losing verification information, reducing both processing time and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

4Loss of information

If extraneous data is included in data exchanges to facilitate service provision, then service context information is improved, but processing efficiency and energy usage deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice contextVSAvoidenergy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The coordination server extracts and removes extraneous data from data exchanges, retaining only the information necessary for service provision and verification. By filtering out unnecessary data while preserving essential service context, the system reduces processing loads and energy consumption without compromising service functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
