Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data deployment schemes for distributed marketing programs are time-consuming and resource-intensive due to the complexity of managing large, heterogeneous data sets across various locations, requiring significant manual coordination and computation.

Innovation Solution

A collaborative data management and delivery platform with a blueprint engine that enables users to create customizable data deployment programs through a graphical user interface, allowing selection and hierarchical definition of data components, which generates a template for automated data deployment across multiple channels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual coordination and computation are used to manage large heterogeneous data sets, then data deployment can be customized, but the process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization capabilityVSAvoidprogram development time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the data deployment program into modular components including data sources, transformations, and delivery channels. Users can select and combine pre-defined modules through a graphical interface, eliminating the need for manual coordination of entire data pipelines from scratch. This modular segmentation reduces development time while maintaining customization flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The platform pre-organizes data sets, transformations, and delivery configurations into reusable templates and blueprints before the user needs them. Users can select from pre-built components rather than creating everything manually, significantly reducing program development time while still allowing customization through parameter adjustment and component selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual coordination is used to manage data deployment, then flexibility in customization is maintained, but computing resource usage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeployment flexibilityVSAvoidcomputing resource usage
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides self-service through automated data mapping, transformation generation, and deployment execution. The graphical interface automatically translates user selections into executable deployment configurations, eliminating the need for manual computation and reducing computing resource requirements compared to traditional manual coordination approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The platform changes parameters by allowing users to adjust high-level configuration parameters through the graphical interface rather than manually configuring low-level system parameters. This parameter abstraction layer maintains deployment flexibility while reducing the computational complexity and resource usage required for data deployment management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Quantity of substance

If large heterogeneous data sets are managed, then comprehensive data availability is achieved, but system complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The graphical interface acts as an intermediary between users and the complex underlying data infrastructure. It abstracts the complexity of managing heterogeneous data sets by providing a simplified visual interface for data selection, mapping, and deployment configuration, while the system handles the complexity of data integration and coordination in the background.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The platform provides universal functionality by supporting multiple data sources, transformations, and delivery channels through a single unified interface. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate systems, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive data availability.

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