Solution Overview

Problem

Current data storage systems lack comprehensive and automatic synchronization methods for end devices with data repositories, limiting the types of data that can be synchronized and requiring user intervention, especially when connecting through various network types.

Innovation Solution

A method for synchronizing end devices with data repositories that compares multimedia and non-multimedia data, allowing automatic data transfer based on freshness, and supports connections through multiple networks, including wireless and wired systems, enabling seamless synchronization across various devices and repositories without user intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If limited network connectivity methods are used for synchronization, then device compatibility is improved, but data synchronization completeness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compatibilityVSAvoiddata synchronization completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables a single data repository to serve multiple end devices through various network connections (wireless and wired). The synchronization method is designed to work across different device types and network protocols, making the system universal rather than device-specific or network-specific.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The data repository acts as an intermediary that mediates between multiple end devices and different network infrastructure. It receives data from any connected device through any network type and distributes it appropriately, resolving the contradiction between limited connectivity methods and complete synchronization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If user intervention is required to initiate synchronization, then data transfer accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transfer accuracyVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The synchronization system operates automatically without requiring user initiation. The data repository and end devices perform self-service synchronization by automatically detecting data changes and transferring updates, eliminating the need for user intervention while maintaining data accuracy through automated comparison and transfer protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs feedback mechanisms where the data repository continuously monitors for data changes on connected end devices and automatically initiates synchronization when changes are detected. This feedback-driven approach ensures accurate data transfer while maintaining ease of operation, as the system self-regulates based on actual data state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Stability of the object's composition

If multiple separate synchronization operations are required for different data types, then data organization is improved, but productivity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata organizationVSAvoidsynchronization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple data types (multimedia and non-multimedia) into a single unified synchronization operation. The data repository handles all data categories simultaneously through one connection, combining what would otherwise require multiple separate operations, thereby improving productivity while maintaining proper data organization through type-specific storage and retrieval protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
