Facility Management System for Drawing Data Consistency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing facility management systems face challenges in maintaining real-time consistency between drawing files and non-drawing files, leading to inconsistencies in asset management, especially when drawings are frequently corrected or updated, and files are not stored at standard locations or with standard names.
Innovation Solution
A facility management system that automatically updates non-drawing files when drawing files or object information is corrected, using a separate database for object files and text information, and encrypts files while allowing users to access basic information without decryption, ensuring files are stored at standard locations and names.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If drawing files are frequently corrected or updated, then the drawing accuracy is improved, but the consistency between drawing files and non-drawing files deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automatic feedback mechanism where changes in drawing files are detected and automatically reflected in non-drawing files. The system monitors drawing file modifications and triggers automatic updates to related non-drawing files, ensuring data consistency without manual intervention. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining drawing accuracy through frequent updates while preventing consistency deterioration through automated synchronization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting and processing changes in drawing files without requiring manual intervention from users or administrators. The automatic reflection mechanism enables the system to maintain itself, ensuring that non-drawing files are updated automatically when drawing files change, thus maintaining data consistency while allowing frequent drawing corrections.
2Reliability
If manual reflection of drawing corrections is performed, then data consistency is maintained, but the time required for updates increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system eliminates manual reflection operations by implementing automatic detection and processing of drawing file changes. The system monitors for changes and automatically updates non-drawing files, transforming a time-consuming manual process into an automated self-service operation that maintains data consistency without time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent ensures continuous automatic synchronization between drawing and non-drawing files. The system operates continuously to detect and process changes, eliminating the discontinuous manual update process. This continuous action maintains data consistency while eliminating the time loss associated with manual intervention and scheduling updates.
3Adaptability or versatility
If files are stored at arbitrary locations with arbitrary names, then user flexibility is improved, but system reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the file storage system into standardized locations and naming conventions. By dividing the storage structure into organized categories and assigning standardized identifiers, the system maintains user flexibility in accessing files while ensuring reliability through consistent, predictable file locations and names. This segmentation prevents arbitrary storage that would compromise system reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of file storage by imposing standardized location and naming parameters while maintaining user flexibility through controlled access. The standardized parameters ensure system reliability and prevent errors, while the controlled access mechanisms preserve user flexibility in working with the files.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If drawing files are encrypted for security, then data security is improved, but user accessibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copying mechanism that allows users to access basic information about encrypted files without needing to decrypt them. By creating metadata copies or previews that contain essential file information, the system maintains data security through encryption while improving user accessibility through the ability to view basic details without decryption. This copying approach resolves the contradiction by providing a layer of access that doesn't compromise security.
Data Source
AI summary
A facility management system providing method includes the operations of storing an object file in a first database (DB) if an object is inserted into drawing information according to an application, wherein the object file includes object information about the inserted object, attribute information about the inserted object, and object space information based on a location on the drawing information into which the object is inserted, and updating object text information corresponding to the object file on the basis of the object space information in a second DB, wherein the second DB stores text information corresponding to the first DB.
