Event Registration Sequence Aggregation for Storage Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing event registration systems face challenges in efficiently managing and storing large volumes of event data over time, leading to high storage requirements and inefficient data compression.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that detects and aggregates events by creating a sequence with entries, where each entry is associated with an aggregation number, allowing for the extension and revision of the sequence based on predefined criteria, reducing storage needs through efficient data aggregation and compression.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If events are registered individually in a sequence without aggregation, then complete event data is preserved, but storage space requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple event entries into aggregated entries by identifying sequences of events with identical event identifiers and merging them into single representative entries that capture the essential information while reducing storage requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the event sequence into distinct aggregated entries based on event identifiers, creating a hierarchical structure where individual events are grouped under representative entries that can be stored more efficiently
2Quantity of substance
If aggregation is performed on all events uniformly, then storage space is reduced, but detailed information about recent events is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different aggregation qualities to different parts of the event sequence - recent events maintain higher detail and individual entry status while older events undergo more aggressive aggregation, creating a quality gradient that optimizes both storage and information retention
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic aggregation where the aggregation level and criteria change based on the age and importance of events, with more recent events being less aggregated and older events being more heavily aggregated, allowing the system to adapt to changing information needs
3Loss of information
If the event sequence is extended continuously without revision, then complete event history is maintained, but data management efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary aggregation and revision operations on event sequences before they become too large or complex, proactively organizing and compressing data to maintain management efficiency while preserving historical completeness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms where the event registration system automatically performs aggregation and sequence revision operations based on predefined criteria, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving overall data management efficiency

AI summary
A computer-implemented method for registering an event includes detecting occurrence of at least one event to be registered in a sequence. The sequence is to have entries for occurred events, each of the entries being a number indicating at least one of the occurred events and being associated with an aggregation number reflecting a number of times the entry has been aggregated within the sequence. The method includes identifying a new entry for extending the sequence, the new entry comprising a first number corresponding to the detected at least one event. The method includes revising the sequence by adding the numbers of at least two entries whose respective aggregation numbers satisfy a criterion for aggregation. The method includes storing the revised sequence.
