Solution Overview

Problem

Data management systems face challenges in managing limited storage space, often requiring the deletion or rejection of data, which may include relevant information, thereby reducing the system's ability to provide services.

Innovation Solution

The system prioritizes the deletion and rejection of data based on its relevancy to the individual, using topic classifications and rankings derived from data analysis and audio recordings of interactions, to ensure that more relevant data is retained.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If data is deleted or rejected to manage limited storage space, then storage capacity is maintained, but relevant information is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage capacityVSAvoidrelevant information
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating data based on its relevance to the individual. The system analyzes data to determine topic relevance and applies different retention decisions to different portions of data - retaining high-relevance data while deleting low-relevance data. This selective approach ensures storage space is optimized without losing important information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of data evaluation from uniform treatment to relevance-based ranking. By analyzing audio recordings and interaction data to determine topic relevance, the system dynamically adjusts which data is retained or deleted based on its importance to the individual, rather than applying a blanket storage or deletion policy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If data retention is prioritized to maintain service functionality, then relevant information is preserved, but storage space is consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice functionalityVSAvoidstorage space
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system ensures service functionality by selectively retaining data that is locally relevant to the individual's needs. By analyzing which topics are important to the individual and prioritizing retention of related data, the system maintains the reliability of services while being selective about what data is kept, thereby optimizing storage space utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If manual user intervention is used to manage storage space, then data retention decisions can be optimized, but system complexity and user burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retention optimizationVSAvoiduser intervention requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically analyzing data, determining topic relevance, and making deletion or retention decisions without requiring user intervention. The system autonomously manages storage space by prioritizing retention of relevant data based on its analysis of audio recordings and interaction patterns, thereby optimizing data retention while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from analyzing audio recordings and interaction data to continuously improve its understanding of individual preferences and topic relevance. This feedback mechanism enables the system to automatically optimize data retention decisions based on learned patterns, eliminating the need for manual user intervention while maintaining high reliability in data retention optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Methods and systems for managing storage space in a data management system are disclosed. To manage storage space, data management system may limit the types and quantity of data stored within the data management system. Data management system may prioritize deletion of data based on relevancy of the data for one or more purposes with respect to an individual. To identify relevant data, data management system may analyze data, including audio recordings of interactions between the individual for which the data is regarding and other individuals that provide services to the individual and identify topics of the data. Based on the analysis of the data and identified topics, data management system may establish a ranking order of the topics that are more relevant to the individual.
