Solution Overview

Problem

Existing computing systems face limitations in managing workload distribution for pre-processing data, leading to inefficient use of computing resources due to the aggregation of redundant and hidden information, which hinders the performance of computer-implemented services.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for pre-processing data by filtering out redundant information and extracting hidden information using edge systems, distributing the workload across a distributed system to enhance data streams with metadata, thereby reducing the computational burden on data users.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If data is aggregated and pre-processed at the edge, then the workload for data users is reduced and service throughput is improved, but redundant and hidden information increases the complexity of data management

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice throughputVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data processing function by introducing edge systems that perform pre-processing locally before data reaches the core system. This divides the workload into edge-level filtering and core-level processing, reducing the complexity of data management at the core while maintaining high throughput.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts redundant and hidden information through filtering operations performed by edge systems. By taking out unnecessary data elements before transmission to the core system, the patent reduces data management complexity while preserving useful information for service processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Loss of information

If more data is transmitted to ensure complete information, then data completeness is improved, but computing resources are consumed more efficiently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidcomputing resource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having edge systems perform filtering and extraction operations before data transmission to the core system. This pre-processing ensures that only necessary information is transmitted, maintaining data completeness for essential services while improving computing resource efficiency by avoiding unnecessary processing of redundant data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services are disclosed. To provide the services, information from a variety of systems may be aggregated. Prior to aggregation, the sources of the information may perform processes for enhancing the provided information. The processes may include removing information that is unlikely to benefit the computer implemented services, and identifying hidden information that is not explicitly noted but that is likely to benefit the computer implemented services. The processes may distribute the workload for preprocessing the aggregated information to reduce the likelihood of bottlenecks or other limits on throughput rate of the computer implemented services from occurring.
