Data Packager Prioritizes Streams by Recipient Intent
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data prioritization methods in network systems fail to consider how data will be used by recipients, leading to inefficient data transfer as they group all data types into a single priority or section without accounting for the intended use.
Innovation Solution
A data packager system that manages data streams based on an expressed intent or interest from the recipient, modifying the data stream before transmission by setting priority levels, separating data, and compressing or adding identifiers, ensuring higher-priority content is transmitted first.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If data is grouped into single priority levels or sections, then the prioritization system is simple to implement, but the data transfer efficiency deteriorates because important data within a section cannot be prioritized over less important data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments data into multiple priority sections (first priority section, second priority section, etc.) based on recipient interest levels. Within each section, individual data items can be further prioritized. This multi-level segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling fine-grained prioritization without overwhelming complexity - the system divides data hierarchically rather than treating all data uniformly or creating entirely separate priority queues for each data type.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different priority levels to different data items within the same section based on their specific importance to the recipient. Not all data in a section is treated equally - the system identifies and prioritizes locally important data items (such as critical business data vs. less critical data) within their respective sections, allowing nuanced prioritization that improves transfer efficiency without requiring complete system redesign.
2Device complexity
If all data types are treated uniformly without considering recipient interest, then the processing logic is simple, but the data transfer optimization deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the sender (first computer system) determine recipient interest in data before actually transmitting the data. The system queries or receives information about what the recipient wants beforehand, then pre-sorts and prioritizes data accordingly. This advance preparation allows the actual data transmission to be highly optimized without complex real-time processing during transfer, as the prioritization decisions are made in advance based on known recipient interests.
3Ease of manufacture
If data prioritization is performed without considering how data will be used by the recipient, then the prioritization rules are easy to implement, but the network efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the first computer system receives information about recipient interest and uses this feedback to adjust prioritization rules. The system can query the recipient, monitor data consumption patterns, or receive explicit interest indicators, then use this feedback to refine which data items receive highest priority. This feedback loop enables the system to learn and adapt to recipient needs over time, improving network efficiency without requiring overly complex manual configuration of prioritization rules.
Data Source
AI summary
A data packaging system is programmed to modify or otherwise manage a data stream from a data source prior to transmission to an intended recipient by applying an expressible intent regarding the data stream from the recipient in the form of a recipient signature. A data packager can apply a received recipient signature to modify the data stream based on the contents of the data stream. The modifications to the data stream can include prioritization of portions of the data stream identified as being the portions of interest to the recipient based on the signature. The data packager can then prioritize the transmission of these portions while delaying non-prioritized portions of the data stream.
