Data Container Probability Thresholds for Communication Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Communication devices face inefficiencies in information collection, leading to waste of processing resources and bandwidth due to incomplete or irrelevant data collection, particularly when probabilities associated with events do not meet a given threshold condition.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that alter data containers by adjusting probabilities, actions, and criteria associated with events, allowing communication devices to perform actions only when probabilities meet a threshold, inquire about event occurrence, or request further input when they do not, thereby optimizing resource usage and data collection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If communication devices collect information for all possible events, then completeness of information collection is improved, but processing resources and bandwidth are wasted on irrelevant data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of event probability thresholds to dynamically control information collection. By adjusting the probability threshold parameter, the system determines whether to collect data for specific events, thereby optimizing the balance between information completeness and resource consumption without collecting irrelevant data
2Loss of information
If communication devices operate to collect all potential information, then information coverage is improved, but operational efficiency deteriorates due to irrelevant collection
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses probability threshold parameters to control operational behavior. When event probabilities exceed the threshold, the device collects information; otherwise, it skips collection. This parameter-based control maintains information coverage while significantly improving operational efficiency by avoiding irrelevant data collection
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of collecting all potential information universally, the system applies partial action by selectively collecting data only for events that meet the probability threshold criteria. This partial collection approach maintains sufficient information coverage while eliminating waste on low-probability events
3Loss of information
If data containers include all possible events with their criteria, then event coverage is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data container into multiple independent event definitions, each with its own probability threshold and criteria. This segmentation allows the system to maintain comprehensive event coverage while managing complexity by organizing events as discrete, manageable units that can be independently evaluated and processed

AI summary
A device, system and method altering data containers to control communication devices are provided. A computing device: receives data associated with a data container, which defines given event associated with respective probabilities at the data container, the given events comprising respective criteria to control a communication device to perform respective given actions associated with the one or more given events; and alters the data container based on the data, by altering one or more of: a probability, a given action and criteria associated with a given event. When the probability meets a given threshold condition, the communication device is controlled to perform the given action based on the criteria. When the probability does not meet the given threshold condition the communication device is controlled to one or more of: decline to perform the given action; inquire as to whether the given event occurred; and perform a further given action.
