Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If traditional centralized data analysis systems are used to manage large volumes of data, then data can be stored and accessed, but computing resources and time required for sorting and searching increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata volumeVSAvoidtime for sorting and searching
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the centralized data analysis system into multiple distributed analysis engines that operate independently across different nodes. Each engine processes subsets of data locally, eliminating the need to sort and search entire datasets centrally. This segmentation reduces both computing resource requirements and time for data processing operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from a single-dimensional centralized processing model to a multi-dimensional distributed architecture where data analysis occurs across spatial (multiple nodes) and functional (different analysis engines) dimensions simultaneously, enabling parallel processing that reduces time complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If statistical analysis is performed on large databases to extract useful information, then meaningful insights can be obtained, but the analysis requires advanced training to understand and translate results

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuseful information extractionVSAvoidcomplexity of analysis and translation
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces intermediary components including standardized data interfaces and automated result translation mechanisms that bridge the gap between complex statistical analysis and business applications. These intermediaries automatically interpret and translate analysis results into actionable business intelligence, eliminating the need for manual translation by experts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements universal data interfaces and standardized analysis frameworks that can handle multiple types of data and analysis tasks through common mechanisms. This universality simplifies the complexity by providing consistent methods for information extraction across different domains without requiring domain-specific expertise for each case.

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

3Productivity

If distributed data analysis is implemented to improve scalability, then system can handle larger data volumes, but system complexity and configuration difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analysis scalabilityVSAvoidsystem configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service mechanisms where the distributed analysis system automatically configures itself, discovers data sources, and optimizes resource allocation without requiring complex manual configuration. The system performs self-diagnosis and adaptive configuration, reducing the complexity burden on users while maintaining scalability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Reliability

If comprehensive data collection is performed to analyze software and hardware problems, then complete problem analysis can be achieved, but the analysis becomes overwhelming and solutions become extremely complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproblem analysis completenessVSAvoidcomplexity of analysis and solutions
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and separates specific problem analysis functions from the overall data collection system. Instead of analyzing all collected data comprehensively, the system identifies and extracts only the relevant data subsets needed for specific problem types, reducing analysis complexity while maintaining reliability for targeted problem detection and resolution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Distributed data analysis systems and methods are provided. A data broker distributes received data to consumers, such as information and repository consumers, which can be subscribed to the data. A subsystem with a processor for data processing can provide data to the data broker. A first information consumer may include a receiving module for receiving the data from the data broker, an analysis module for analyzing the received data to obtain a result, and a publication module for sending the result to the data broker when a second information consumer is subscribed to the result.
