Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional data transfer protocols, such as the LISA protocol, face inefficiencies, compatibility issues, limited extensibility, and inadequate error handling, particularly when transferring large volumes of data across disparate systems, which hampers real-time data visibility and response to manufacturing exceptions.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for transferring data that involves sending a data query from a client to a server, receiving a data result model with a table block, and analyzing it to regenerate data for storage, including processing non-null and null values, thereby enhancing efficiency, reliability, and compatibility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional data protocols (e.g., LISA) are used to transfer data, then data transfer can be performed, but the transfer efficiency is poor and large volumes of data cannot be transferred effectively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transfer efficiencyVSAvoiddata transfer time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The data transfer process is segmented into distinct phases: query phase, transfer phase, and error detection phase. The protocol divides data into manageable units with specific control mechanisms for each segment, allowing efficient processing and reducing overall transfer time while maintaining high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The protocol performs preliminary actions by establishing error detection capabilities before data transfer begins. The system prepares error handling mechanisms in advance, allowing for uninterrupted efficient data transfer without waiting for error conditions to manifest during the transfer process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional data protocols are used, then data transfer is possible, but compatibility issues arise between different versions and systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotocol compatibilityVSAvoiddata transfer reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The data transfer protocol is designed with universal compatibility features that allow it to function across multiple system versions and platforms. The protocol incorporates standardized data structures and control mechanisms that can be universally applied while maintaining reliable data transfer across diverse environments.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The protocol acts as an intermediary layer between different data systems and versions, providing translation and adaptation mechanisms that ensure compatibility while maintaining transfer reliability. This mediator approach allows disparate systems to communicate effectively without compromising data integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If conventional data protocols are used, then data can be transferred, but error handling is inadequate and requires prior knowledge of data set errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror handling capabilityVSAvoiderror detection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The protocol implements continuous feedback mechanisms during data transfer, where error detection information is fed back to the transmitting system in real-time. This allows the system to adjust and correct errors during transfer without requiring prior knowledge of error conditions, improving reliability while managing complexity through systematic feedback loops.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

An intermediary error detection mechanism is introduced that sits between the data source and destination, automatically detecting and handling errors without requiring complex preprocessing or prior error knowledge. This mediator simplifies the overall system complexity while enhancing error handling reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
