Database Query Optimization via Identifier Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing alcohol distribution system in the United States, particularly the three-tier system, favors large suppliers over small ones, making it difficult for craft breweries, distilleries, and wineries to gain distribution and market their products effectively due to consolidation and regulatory challenges.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented system and method for business-to-business alcohol distribution that allows suppliers to directly manage their products, pricing, and markets, enabling them to connect with resellers without intermediaries, using a virtual inventory and geo-targeting sales tools within a web-based platform, thus bypassing traditional distribution bottlenecks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional three-tier distribution system is used, then large suppliers can maintain market control, but small suppliers face difficulty gaining distribution and marketing their products
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the intermediary distributor function from the traditional three-tier system, allowing suppliers to directly connect with resellers through a digital platform. This removes the bottleneck that prevented small suppliers from gaining market access while maintaining the regulatory framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a digital platform as a new intermediary that facilitates direct connections between suppliers and resellers. This mediator enables small suppliers to reach the market efficiently while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements, without needing traditional distribution relationships.
2Speed
If sequential processing of database queries is used, then computational accuracy is maintained, but response time becomes unacceptably long for large datasets
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-computing and caching query results for large datasets. When a query is received, the system first checks if the result is already cached and returns it immediately, avoiding the need to perform the full computational process and significantly reducing response time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the database query processing into multiple parallel tasks that can be executed concurrently. By dividing the large dataset into smaller chunks and processing them in parallel, the system maintains computational accuracy while dramatically reducing the overall query response time.
3Quantity of substance
If full database queries are transmitted to clients, then complete information is provided, but network bandwidth and processing resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by transmitting only the specific portions of database results that are relevant to each client's needs. Instead of sending complete datasets, the system analyzes query requirements and transmits only the necessary data subsets, reducing network bandwidth consumption while maintaining productivity.
Data Source
AI summary
In a method for resolving a query to a database, a server computing system receives a query for retrieving objects from a client device. A candidate data set of objects is determined by applying the query to the database, the candidate data set of objects including identifiers of objects satisfying the query. The candidate data set of objects is transmitted to the client computing device as the identifiers. A request for a subset of the objects corresponding to identifiers of the candidate data set of objects from the server computing system for identifiers of the candidate data set of objects that do not match the identifiers of objects stored in the cache of the client computing device is received. The subset of objects is transmitted to the client device.
