Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If data is accessed across multiple heterogeneous data stores, then data coverage and completeness are improved, but system complexity and difficulty of management increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata coverageVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a data portal as an intermediary layer between user applications and heterogeneous data stores. The portal provides a unified interface that abstracts the complexity of multiple data sources, allowing applications to access diverse data without directly managing the heterogeneity underlying the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The data portal implements universal access mechanisms that handle multiple types of data stores through a single interface. It provides multi-functional capabilities including monitoring, analysis, and optimization across different data sources without requiring separate access methods for each source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of information

If comprehensive monitoring of data events is implemented, then data transparency and insight are improved, but processing overhead and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transparencyVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and monitors only the most relevant data events rather than processing all possible events. The system identifies and focuses on key performance indicators and critical data access patterns, reducing the volume of events requiring comprehensive processing while maintaining essential transparency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service mechanisms where the data portal automatically analyzes monitored events and generates optimization recommendations without requiring extensive external computational resources. The monitoring system serves itself by providing actionable insights directly from the collected data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If real-time analysis of data events is performed, then responsiveness and optimization capability are improved, but processing time and computational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoptimization capabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis by pre-processing and categorizing data events as they occur. By preparing and organizing event data in advance, the system reduces the computational burden during real-time analysis, enabling faster generation of optimization recommendations without sacrificing comprehensive processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
