Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) technique is used to predict future load conditions according to history load, then energy consumption can be reduced, but prediction accuracy becomes very inaccurate due to large deviation between historical load and actual load

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy consumptionVSAvoidprediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary analysis of data transform rules, source data definitions, and destination data definitions before actual data transformation occurs. By predicting energy consumption parameters in advance based on these definitions rather than historical load, the system can proactively optimize resource allocation and deploy appropriate energy consumption optimization policies, avoiding the inaccuracies of historical load prediction while still achieving energy reduction goals

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical approach of predicting future load based on historical patterns with a systematic analysis approach that evaluates actual data transform requirements. Instead of using past performance data to infer future needs, the system directly analyzes the characteristics of the upcoming data transformation task (rules, source definitions, destination definitions) to predict energy consumption, substituting the predictive mechanism with a more accurate analytical one

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If data transform is performed to transform data from one representative form to another, then data integration and software product integration can be realized, but system energy consumption increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integration capabilityVSAvoidsystem energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary energy consumption prediction by analyzing data transform rules, source data definitions, and destination data definitions before the actual data transformation process. This allows the system to determine optimal resource allocation and deploy energy consumption optimization policies in advance, ensuring that data integration tasks can be completed with minimized energy consumption while maintaining full adaptability across different data formats and systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts resource allocation parameters (such as computing resources, memory, and processing power) based on predicted energy consumption parameters. By changing these parameters according to the specific requirements of each data transformation task and the predicted energy consumption, the system achieves optimal balance between data integration capability and energy consumption, allowing versatile data transformation while reducing overall energy usage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
