Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional data transmission methods result in high server load and resource wastage due to frequent network connections and the need for the server to process all data types simultaneously, making it inefficient for acquiring specific types of data.

Innovation Solution

A data transmission method and system that determine a specific type of data to be transmitted by a data terminal in a local area network, detect the data of that type, and transmit it to a server using predetermined rules, identifying target data terminals with higher data amounts to reduce the number of connections and optimize data acquisition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If data terminals transmit all acquired data directly to the server, then data can be acquired timely, but the server experiences large load and network resources are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata acquisition speedVSAvoidserver load
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data transmission by data type, creating separate transmission channels for different data categories (e.g., real-time data, historical data, alarm data). This allows the server to process specific data types through optimized pathways, reducing overall server load while maintaining timely acquisition of critical data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a data gateway or edge computing device as an intermediary between data terminals and the server. This intermediary performs preliminary data processing, filtering, and aggregation, reducing the volume of data reaching the server while ensuring timely transmission of important data types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the server collects all data in the same way, then comprehensive data is acquired, but data of a specific type cannot be acquired quickly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata type coverageVSAvoidspecific data acquisition speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements different data collection and transmission strategies for different data types based on their specific requirements. For example, alarm data may be transmitted immediately with high priority, while historical data may be aggregated and transmitted periodically. This localized optimization allows specific data types to be acquired quickly while maintaining comprehensive coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic data transmission mechanisms where transmission parameters (such as frequency, priority, and method) are adjusted based on data type characteristics and current system conditions. This allows the system to adaptively optimize acquisition speed for specific data types while maintaining versatility in handling multiple data categories.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If a large number of data terminals transmit data frequently, then data freshness is maintained, but network connections are established and released frequently causing resource waste

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata freshnessVSAvoidnetwork resource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes persistent network connections between data terminals and the server, eliminating frequent connection establishment and release. Data transmission occurs continuously or at scheduled intervals over these maintained connections, reducing network overhead while ensuring data freshness through regular updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic data transmission where terminals send data at predetermined intervals rather than continuously or on every data generation event. This periodic approach maintains data freshness within acceptable bounds while significantly reducing the frequency of transmission operations and associated network resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
