Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for inquiring electronic element data require establishing exhaustive databases, leading to high maintenance costs and increased workload due to the need for exhaustive input of specific item numbers like 'TC7SET28FU', which is inefficient and costly.

Innovation Solution

An electronic element supporting data inquiry method that involves receiving an electronic element identifier, extracting sub-words, searching for corresponding data tags, and establishing relationships between sub-words and supporting data, allowing for efficient data retrieval without exhaustive database construction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If exhaustive databases are established with all specific item numbers, then data retrieval completeness is improved, but maintenance cost and workload increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retrieval completenessVSAvoidmaintenance cost and workload
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the electronic element identifier into multiple sub-words (e.g., dividing 'TC7SET28FU' into 'TC7SET', '28', 'FU'). The database stores these segmented sub-words rather than complete identifiers, allowing retrieval through partial matches. This segmentation reduces database complexity while maintaining retrieval effectiveness, as users can search using any portion of the identifier without requiring exhaustive entry of all possible variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal search mechanism where the same database structure and search algorithm can handle multiple query types (exact matches, partial matches, wildcard searches) without requiring separate databases for each case. The sub-word matching system provides multi-functional search capabilities that work across different identification patterns, reducing the need for maintenance of multiple specialized databases.

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

2Measurement precision

If all original factory resources are labeled with exhaustive item numbers, then search accuracy is improved, but the cost and risk of maintenance increase greatly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch accuracyVSAvoidmaintenance cost and risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by breaking down complete item numbers into meaningful sub-words that are stored and searched independently. Instead of labeling resources with exhaustive complete identifiers, the system stores segmented components (e.g., prefix, middle section, suffix) that can be independently matched. This maintains search accuracy through precise sub-word matching while dramatically reducing maintenance burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a simplified copy of the identification system in the database. Rather than storing and maintaining exhaustive original factory resources with complete item numbers, the system creates a lightweight copy consisting only of the essential sub-words needed for search. This copied structure maintains search functionality while eliminating the maintenance burden of the complete original data set.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If users input complete specific element identifiers, then resource matching precision is improved, but the complexity of database construction increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource matching precisionVSAvoiddatabase construction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by segmenting the identifier matching process. Instead of requiring users to input complete identifiers against a complex exhaustive database, the system segments both the input identifier and the database entries into sub-words. The matching process then operates on these segments, achieving precise resource matching through component-level comparison rather than complete-string matching, thereby reducing database construction complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from one-dimensional complete-string matching to multi-dimensional sub-word matching. By breaking identifiers into multiple sub-word components, the system creates additional dimensions for matching (prefix match, middle section match, suffix match). This dimensional transformation allows precise resource matching through multiple independent comparison paths, reducing the complexity of any single matching operation.

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