Solution Overview

Problem

In large and complex enterprise systems, identifying and remediating failures in data transmission and processing across multiple computing devices is challenging due to their distributed nature, leading to potential delays, data corruption, and integrity risks, especially when multiple entities and networks are involved.

Innovation Solution

An administrative computing device equipped with an artificial neural network or machine learning model determines the processing status and integrity of data by querying sender, recipient, and intermediary computing devices, using status data to identify errors and initiate remedial actions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data is transmitted through multiple computing devices in sequence, then processing operations can be performed on the data, but the failure of one device may cause significant delays affecting subsequent devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidprocessing delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the administrative computing device continuously monitors the status of data transmissions through multiple computing devices. Status data is collected from each device in the transmission path, and this feedback information is used to proactively identify and remediate failures before they propagate through the system, thereby maintaining reliability while minimizing delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by establishing the complete transmission path and monitoring framework before data transmission begins. The administrative computing device pre-configures status data collection points at each computing device in the path, enabling early detection of issues and immediate remediation actions that prevent cascading delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If scores of computing devices are required to transmit data from sender to receiver, then distributed processing can be achieved, but identifying the particular location of a fault consumes significant time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistributed processing capabilityVSAvoidfault location identification
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the monitoring function by deploying status data collection capabilities at each individual computing device in the transmission path. This segmentation allows the administrative computing device to independently query and analyze the status of each segment (device), enabling precise fault location identification while maintaining the distributed processing architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The administrative computing device acts as an intermediary that coordinates status data collection across all computing devices in the transmission path. Rather than requiring direct communication between all devices, the intermediary collects and analyzes status information from each device, simplifying fault location identification while preserving distributed processing benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If multiple entities with different computing devices are involved in file processing, then processing capacity is increased, but tracking the location and integrity of the file becomes nearly impossible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefile processing capacityVSAvoidfile tracking information
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal status data collection mechanism that works across multiple entities and computing devices regardless of their specific implementations. The administrative computing device uses a standardized approach to query and collect status information from diverse computing devices belonging to different entities, enabling unified tracking of file location and integrity across the entire distributed system.

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

4Productivity

If data is transmitted through many intermediary devices, then processing and transmission capabilities are enhanced, but errors in transmission can corrupt portions or all of a file

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission capabilityVSAvoiddata integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs feedback through continuous status data collection at each intermediary computing device. This status data provides real-time information about data integrity and transmission status, enabling the administrative computing device to detect errors early and initiate remediation actions that prevent error propagation and data corruption throughout the transmission path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for remediating the transmission of data from a sending computing device to a receiving computing device. An administrative computing device may determine data that has been transmitted and a predicted transmission path taken by the transmitted data. The administrative computing device may include or be communicatively coupled with a machine learning model. The administrative computing device may receive, from one or more computing devices involved in transmitting the transmitted data, status data corresponding to the transmitted data. The status data may include, for example, timestamps associated with the data, hash values of the data, processing information associated with the data, or the like. Based on the status data, the administrative computing device may cause one or more computing devices to take remedial actions.
