Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data related to force tactile sensation is difficult to manage effectively, as it consists of time-series control parameters with formal record dates, making it challenging for users to grasp the content easily.
Innovation Solution
An operational data management system that includes an acquirer, assignor, and manager to acquire, assign identification information, and manage operational data for easy search and retrieval based on the identification information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If force tactile sensation data is stored as time-series control parameters with record dates, then the data can be accumulated for future utilization, but the data becomes difficult to manage and retrieve effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments operational data into distinct categories by assigning identification information (tags) that represent different aspects of the operation content. This allows the accumulated data to be divided into manageable segments that can be independently searched and retrieved based on specific identification criteria, rather than treating all data as a single undifferentiated collection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces identification information as an intermediary layer between the raw operational data and the user's search queries. This intermediary tagging system enables efficient retrieval by providing a structured interface that mediates between the accumulated data and retrieval operations, eliminating the need to search through all raw data directly.
2Ease of manufacture
If operational data is accumulated without structured identification, then storage is simple, but the data cannot be searched or utilized effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by assigning identification information to operational data at the time of data generation or ingestion, rather than requiring post-processing or manual organization later. This advance tagging ensures that when data is accumulated, it already contains the structural metadata needed for future retrieval, preventing information usability loss while maintaining storage simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The identification information serves multiple functions simultaneously: it categorizes data for retrieval, preserves operational context, and enables various types of searches. This multi-functionality ensures that the simple storage structure does not sacrifice data usability, as the same identification tags support multiple data access and utilization scenarios.
3Productivity
If time-series control parameters are simply listed with record dates, then data collection is straightforward, but users cannot easily grasp the operation content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the concept of color changes metaphorically by assigning identification information that 'highlights' or 'labels' different aspects of operation content within the data stream. This tagging system makes previously invisible or hard-to-grasp operational characteristics visible and distinguishable, allowing users to quickly understand data content without sacrificing collection efficiency.
Data Source
AI summary
An operational data management system includes an operational data acquisition unit, a tag assigner, and a database management unit. The operational data acquisition unit acquires, as operational data, time-series control parameters used to transmit force tactile sensation between devices. The tag assigner assigns, as identification information, information related to operation content implemented by the operational data to the operational data acquired by the operational data acquisition unit. The database management unit accumulates a plurality of pieces of operational data assigned identification information by the tag assigner, and manages the operational data so that desired operational data is searchable from the accumulated plurality of pieces of operational data based on the identification information.
