Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data encoding methods require decoding and subsequent reencoding, which is computationally expensive and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A method that processes unencoded data files by mapping file segments to a dictionary file to generate encoded data files, allowing manipulation without decoding, using direct-coupled communication platforms like copper-based, twisted pair-based, or optical-based platforms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data is encoded and then manipulated, then data security and storage efficiency are improved, but computational overhead increases due to required decoding and reencoding operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidcomputational overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing the encoded data to create an intermediate representation that preserves both security and manipulability. The encoded data is transformed into a format that allows operations to be performed without full decoding, thereby avoiding the computational overhead of decode-reencode cycles while maintaining security through the use of encoding parameters and transformation rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If data is decoded for manipulation, then ease of operation is improved, but processing time increases due to decode and reencode steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata manipulabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary representation layer between the encoded data and the manipulation operations. This intermediate form allows standard data operations to be performed without completing the full decoding process. The system uses transformation rules and encoding parameters to enable operations on this intermediate representation, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining ease of operation for common data manipulations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If full decoding is performed for data access, then data accessibility is improved, but computational resources are wasted due to subsequent reencoding

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accessibilityVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by performing only the necessary portion of decoding required for data access and manipulation. Instead of fully decoding the data and then reencoding it, the system decodes only to the extent needed to perform the requested operation on the intermediate representation. This partial decoding approach maintains data accessibility for required operations while avoiding the wasteful computational resources spent on complete decode-reencode cycles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computing system for: processing an unencoded data file to identify a plurality of file segments wherein the unencoded data file is a dataset for use with a direct-coupled communication platform; mapping each of the plurality of file segments to a portion of a dictionary file to generate a plurality of mappings, wherein each of the plurality of mappings includes a starting location and a length, thus generating a related encoded data file based, at least in part, upon the plurality of mappings; and transmitting the related encoded data file from a first location to a second location using the direct-coupled communication platform.
