Solution Overview

Problem

Current data collection policies for power supplement devices, such as electric vehicle charging and battery swap stations, result in excessive data transmission bandwidth usage and network congestion due to fixed collection frequencies and susceptibility to environmental factors, leading to inefficient data collection and processing.

Innovation Solution

A method to dynamically optimize data collection policies by adjusting collection and reporting frequencies based on the terminal device's operating state and monitoring data, prioritizing abnormal and fluctuating data, and caching critical data for timely detection of abnormalities, thereby improving data collection efficiency and reducing network congestion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If real-time transmission is performed on all data from power supplement devices, then data completeness is improved, but transmission bandwidth consumption increases and network congestion occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidtransmission bandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating data transmission strategies based on data type and device state. Critical data (abnormal data, real-time data with large fluctuations) is transmitted with higher priority and frequency, while non-critical data is transmitted with lower priority. This selective approach ensures data completeness for important information while reducing overall bandwidth consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial action by transmitting only a subset of data that meets specific criteria (abnormal data, data with large fluctuations) rather than all collected data. The collection frequency is adjusted dynamically - higher for critical data and lower for stable data - achieving sufficient monitoring coverage while significantly reducing transmission volume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Ease of operation

If fixed frequency data collection is used for all devices, then data collection simplicity is improved, but data collection efficiency deteriorates due to inability to adapt to different working conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection simplicityVSAvoiddata collection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static fixed-frequency collection approach into a dynamic adaptive system. The collection frequency automatically adjusts based on real-time device operating states, data stability, and abnormality detection. This dynamic adjustment optimizes data collection efficiency for different working conditions while maintaining operational simplicity through automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where collected data is analyzed to determine its stability and abnormality. This feedback information is then used to adjust future collection frequencies - stable data receives lower frequency collection while abnormal or fluctuating data triggers higher frequency collection, creating a self-optimizing closed-loop system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If high collection frequency is used to capture abnormal data, then abnormal data detection capability is improved, but network congestion and transmission delay increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveabnormal data detection capabilityVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different collection and transmission frequencies to different data based on their characteristics. Abnormal data and data with large fluctuations are identified and given high-priority, high-frequency collection and immediate transmission, while stable data receives low-frequency collection. This ensures high detection capability for abnormal events without causing network congestion from transmitting all data at high frequency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs excessive action only when necessary - high-frequency collection is applied selectively to data showing signs of abnormality or large fluctuations, rather than uniformly to all data. This partial application of high-frequency collection achieves timely abnormal detection while minimizing overall transmission load and delay.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

4Adaptability or versatility

If data transmission is performed through wireless networks, then device connectivity is improved, but transmission stability deteriorates due to environmental factors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice connectivityVSAvoidtransmission stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by caching critical data (abnormal data and real-time data with large fluctuations) locally on the terminal device before transmission. This ensures that even when wireless transmission is disrupted by environmental factors, important data is preserved and can be transmitted once connectivity is restored, maintaining transmission reliability while preserving wireless connectivity flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
