Data Swapping Method Using Attribute-Based Swap Device Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices using multiple swap devices for data swapping often experience slowed down data processing and operation speeds due to the selection of a single swap device based on priority, user setting, or free space size.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device is designed with a processor that identifies a suitable swap device for data swapping among multiple swap devices based on attributes of the data and attributes of each swap device, such as performance, lifespan, access availability, and data integrity.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single swap device is selected from multiple swap devices based on priority, user setting, or free space size, then the system can maintain simple swap device selection logic, but data processing speed and operation speed are slowed down
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different swap devices to different data types based on their specific attributes. Instead of using a single swap device for all data, the system identifies data attributes (such as access frequency, size, type) and selects appropriate swap devices for each data type, optimizing performance for each local context while maintaining overall system efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the swap device selection adaptive and changeable based on current system conditions and data attributes. The selection criteria can dynamically adjust which swap device is used for which data, allowing the system to optimize performance in real-time rather than relying on static priority-based selection.
2Productivity
If multiple swap devices are used with attribute-based selection, then data processing speed is enhanced, but the complexity of swap device management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the system to automatically identify data attributes and select appropriate swap devices without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously monitors data characteristics and dynamically assigns data to optimal swap devices, reducing the operational burden on users while maintaining high performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors data access patterns, swap device performance, and system state, then uses this information to adjust swap device selection. This closed-loop approach allows the system to learn from past performance and optimize future decisions, simplifying management while maintaining high productivity.
3Quantity of substance
If swap device selection is based on free space size, then storage capacity is optimized, but data processing speed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by considering multiple data attributes beyond just storage space, such as access frequency, data size, data type, and swap device characteristics. This multi-parameter approach allows the system to balance storage utilization with processing speed by selecting swap devices based on a combination of factors rather than solely on available space.
