Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a plurality of applications are operated in an environment where resources are shared among the applications, then resource utilization is improved, but security between applications deteriorates due to potential contamination through shared resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidsecurity between applications
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the shared resource access into segmented paths by introducing virtual file systems for each application. Each application operates within its own virtual file system namespace, which segments the resource access paths while maintaining shared underlying storage. This segmentation prevents direct contamination between applications while preserving resource sharing capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces virtual file systems as intermediary layers between applications and shared resources. These virtual file systems act as mediators that translate application-specific path requests into standardized access operations on shared resources. The intermediaries enable secure resource sharing by controlling and monitoring all access paths without exposing direct resource references to applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If path information is managed in a unified manner across applications, then resource sharing is improved, but security control deteriorates due to inability to isolate application-specific access paths

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource sharingVSAvoidsecurity control
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing customized virtual file system configurations for each application based on its specific security requirements. Each application's virtual file system can have tailored path mappings, access controls, and isolation levels. This allows security control to be customized locally for each application while maintaining unified resource management at the system level.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments path information management by creating application-specific virtual file system namespaces that logically divide the unified resource space. Each namespace maintains its own path structure and access rules, enabling independent security control for each application while the underlying storage remains unified and shared across all applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If virtual memory is expanded to provide larger address space, then application capability is improved, but system resource consumption deteriorates due to increased memory management overhead

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication capabilityVSAvoidsystem resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses copying by creating virtual copies of file system paths and structures for each application rather than duplicating actual resource data. The virtual file systems maintain references to shared underlying resources, allowing multiple applications to access the same physical resources through different virtual path representations. This copying approach expands application capability without proportionally increasing actual resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements nesting by placing virtual file system layers within the application address space, which themselves contain references to shared underlying resources. This nested structure allows virtual memory expansion through layered abstraction without requiring proportional increases in physical memory resources. The nested virtual layers provide expanded addressing capability while sharing the same physical resource base.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

A data processor processes measurement data for an energy storage device and includes: a storage part that stores a determination model learned to output a score, which corresponds to whether or not measurement data of an odd energy storage device are included in measurement data measured for each energy storage device or for each energy storage device group grouped from a plurality of the energy storage devices, when the measurement data is input; and a determination part that determines measurement data of an odd energy storage device on a basis of a score output by inputting the acquired measurement data into the determination model.
