Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices face challenges in effectively managing and associating data records with relevant content items, particularly in generating and storing tagging information for multimedia data such as audio and image files, which is essential for efficient data retrieval and organization.

Innovation Solution

The method involves detecting requests for tagging data records, selecting portions of the records, identifying content items based on user inputs or predefined conditions, and associating these content items with the data records, utilizing a processor and data management module to capture and store tagging information through camera functions, audio analysis, and user interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If tagging information is generated and stored for all data records, then data search performance and organization are improved, but device complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata search performanceVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data management process into distinct modules: a detector module that identifies tagging requests, a selector module that chooses portions of data records, an identifier module that recognizes content items, and an associator module that links content items to data records. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific tasks efficiently, improving search performance without overwhelming the device with monolithic complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by detecting tagging requests and selecting relevant portions of data records before full processing occurs. By pre-identifying which data portions need tagging and what content items are relevant, the system reduces the complexity of subsequent processing steps while maintaining high search performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If content items are identified and associated with data records, then data organization and retrieval are enhanced, but processing time and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retrieval efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by selecting only specific portions of data records for tagging rather than processing entire records. The selector module identifies and processes only the relevant segments that contain meaningful content items, reducing processing time and energy consumption while still achieving effective data organization and retrieval.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically detecting tagging requests, selecting relevant data portions, identifying content items, and associating them with data records without requiring manual intervention. This automation improves data retrieval efficiency while minimizing the time loss associated with manual tagging processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple content items are associated with each data record, then data organization improves, but storage requirements and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata organization flexibilityVSAvoidstorage requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple content items into unified tagging structures that are associated with data records. By combining related content items and their metadata into integrated tagging units, the system achieves flexible data organization while optimizing storage requirements through efficient data representation and reduced redundancy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
