VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If data flow management is performed by dividing functions into logical layers (Kafon method), then transfer processing can be commonized, but system-wide data flow efficiency cannot be improved due to lack of consideration for computing unit capabilities and data transfer between units

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransfer processing commonizationVSAvoidsystem-wide data flow efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple data flows that share common processing requirements into a single integrated data flow. By identifying data flows that require the same processing operations and combining them, the system achieves both transfer processing commonization and improved system-wide efficiency through better resource utilization and reduced redundancy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts data flow routing and processing based on real-time computing unit capabilities and system state. The management device monitors resource availability and dynamically assigns data flows to appropriate computing units, enabling the system to adapt to changing conditions and optimize performance across the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If conventional layer-based data flow management is used, then function organization is simplified, but resource utilization across computing units is not optimized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction organization complexityVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the data flow management device continuously monitors the state of computing units and adjusts data flow assignments accordingly. This feedback loop enables the system to maintain simple function organization while optimizing resource utilization by routing data flows to computing units based on their current capacity and workload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal data flow management approach that can handle multiple types of data flows and computing units through a single integrated system. The management device provides multi-functional capabilities including data flow integration, routing, and resource allocation, enabling efficient resource utilization across diverse computing resources without increasing organizational complexity.

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

AI summary

A data flow control device includes processing circuitry configured to calculate, from among data flows obtained by commonizing and integrating at least a part of a first data flow in operation in a system that processes data and an input second data flow, a third data flow in which a resource use amount when operated in the system satisfies a predetermined condition, and instruct the system to switch the first data flow to the third data flow.
