Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional energy management systems face inefficiencies in processing and managing large volumes of analog data, leading to data overflow and incorrect database construction due to the lack of adequate processing capacity, resulting in discarded data and compromised data integrity.
Innovation Solution
A database management apparatus with a data type determination part, a data analysis part, and multiple analog data processors that classify and process data based on type and generation position, ensuring compliance with specific protocols and distributing data efficiently among processors to prevent overflow and improve data integrity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single analog data processing part is used to process analog data, then the device complexity is reduced, but the processing capacity becomes insufficient leading to data overflow and loss
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the single analog data processing part into multiple analog data processing parts (first, second, and third analog data processing parts). Each processing part handles specific analog data from different sources or types, thereby increasing overall processing capacity while maintaining manageable complexity through modular segmentation.
2Device complexity
If data are not classified and processed separately, then the processing system is simpler, but data integrity deteriorates due to mixing digital and analog data processing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements separate processing paths for digital data and analog data. Digital data are processed by a digital data processing part, while analog data are processed by dedicated analog data processing parts. This segmentation ensures that each data type is handled with appropriate processing methods, maintaining data integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a data classification part that acts as an intermediary between data acquisition and processing. This classification part identifies and routes different data types (digital vs. analog) to appropriate processing parts, ensuring proper handling and maintaining data integrity without requiring complex integrated processing.
3Device complexity
If all analog data are processed by a single processing part, then the system structure is simpler, but data loss occurs when data volume exceeds processing capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides analog data processing into multiple parallel processing parts (first, second, third analog data processing parts), each capable of handling specific portions of analog data simultaneously. This segmentation increases total processing capacity to handle large volumes of analog data without loss, while each processing part maintains a manageable and simple structure.
