Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data alignment processes between different servers require a third-party server, increasing complexity and cost, especially when aligning large amounts of user data from multiple sources.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method and apparatus that determines a target storage area for first and second data using identification information, aligning data without a third-party server by ensuring the storage area codes match, thereby reducing workload and eliminating the need for external servers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a third-party server is used to align data between different servers, then data alignment can be achieved, but system complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata alignmentVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and eliminates the third-party server from the data alignment system. By using identification information that is directly shared between the first and second devices, the system achieves data alignment without requiring an external intermediary server, thus reducing system complexity while maintaining alignment reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the third-party server with identification information acting as an intermediary. This identification information is stored in both the first device and second device, enabling direct data alignment through a shared reference rather than an external mediator, thereby reducing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If a third-party server is used to align data between different servers, then data alignment can be achieved, but cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata alignmentVSAvoidcost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the costly third-party server infrastructure from the data alignment process. By utilizing identification information that is already present in both devices, the system eliminates the need for additional server infrastructure, reducing operational costs while maintaining data alignment capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The first and second devices perform data alignment autonomously using their own stored identification information. This self-service approach eliminates the need to pay for third-party server resources, reducing costs while achieving reliable data alignment between the devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If large amounts of user data are aligned from multiple sources, then comprehensive data alignment is achieved, but processing workload increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata alignment completenessVSAvoidprocessing workload
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data alignment process by using identification information as a key to organize and match data from multiple sources. This segmentation allows the system to process large amounts of data more efficiently by grouping records based on their identification information, reducing the overall processing workload while maintaining completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure are a data processing method and apparatus, and an electronic device. A specific implementation of the method comprises: determining a target first storage region from among a preset number of first storage regions; on the basis of a interaction process with a second device, determining identical target identification information comprised in the target first storage region and a target second storage region, and determining whether the interaction process meets a target requirement; and in response to the interaction process meeting the target requirement, storing target first data identified by the target identification information, so that the second device stores target second data identified by the target identification information. Thus, the target first data and the target second data identified by the same target identification information in the target first storage region and the target second storage region are aligned.
