Solution Overview

Problem

Existing analysis systems face challenges in efficiently sharing large measurement data files among multiple analysis apparatuses connected to a server, leading to increased storage capacity needs and operational costs, as well as reduced user convenience due to the necessity of downloading and processing entire data sets for specific quantitative values.

Innovation Solution

The system generates and transmits analysis result summaries, which are reduced in file size, allowing the server to construct and manage databases with smaller storage capacity requirements, while enabling users to view specific quantitative values directly from the summaries, thus reducing storage needs and enhancing user convenience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If measurement data is stored in the server's storage unit, then complete data sharing is achieved, but storage capacity requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharing completenessVSAvoidstorage capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential quantitative values and analysis results from the complete measurement data, storing only these extracted elements in the server's database. This allows other analysis apparatus to access and share the critical information without requiring storage of the entire measurement data set, thereby reducing storage capacity requirements while maintaining data sharing functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating between data that needs to be stored centrally (quantitative values and analysis results) and data that remains locally stored (complete measurement data). Each analysis apparatus maintains its own complete measurement data locally while sharing only the essential quantitative information through the server, optimizing the distribution of storage requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If users download complete measurement data to view specific quantitative values, then data accuracy is maintained, but user convenience decreases due to additional processing steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the specific quantitative values that users need from the complete measurement data and makes them directly accessible through the server's database. Users can now obtain the exact numerical values they need without downloading and processing entire data files, significantly improving ease of operation while maintaining access to accurate measurement results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Productivity

If analysis result summaries are transmitted instead of complete measurement data, then transmission efficiency improves, but information completeness may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidinformation completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the most critical information elements (quantitative values and analysis results) from the complete measurement data to create condensed analysis result summaries. These summaries contain the essential scientific and technical information needed for research collaboration while being significantly smaller in size, thereby improving transmission efficiency without losing the core information value.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
