Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the amount of gas data is increased to improve data completeness, then data management efficiency deteriorates due to longer processing time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveamount of gas dataVSAvoiddata management efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments gas data into different levels (first level gas data and second level gas data) based on importance and access frequency. First level data includes critical data requiring high redundancy and fast access, while second level data includes less critical data with lower redundancy requirements. This segmentation enables differentiated storage strategies that improve overall data management efficiency while maintaining data completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different storage characteristics to different data levels. Critical first level data receives higher redundancy ratios and faster access paths, while less critical second level data receives lower redundancy and standard access. This localized optimization ensures that data management efficiency is improved without compromising the quality and availability of critical data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If data redundancy is increased to improve data availability, then storage space consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata availabilityVSAvoidstorage space consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data into different redundancy levels corresponding to different data importance levels. First level critical data receives higher redundancy ratios to ensure availability, while second level data receives lower redundancy. This segmentation allows the system to maintain data availability for critical data while reducing overall storage space consumption by applying lower redundancy to less critical data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts the redundancy ratio parameter based on data level and access patterns. By changing the redundancy parameter from high for first level data to low for second level data, the system optimizes the balance between data availability and storage space consumption, ensuring critical data remains available while minimizing unnecessary storage overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of time

If data processing time is reduced to improve system response speed, then data management accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing timeVSAvoiddata management accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data processing into different pathways based on data level. First level data undergoes rapid processing with optimized queries and caching for immediate response, while second level data can undergo more comprehensive processing when time permits. This segmentation enables the system to reduce processing time for critical data without sacrificing accuracy, as the most time-sensitive operations are performed on the most important data first.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Quantity of substance

If data center capacity is increased to handle more data, then system stability deteriorates due to higher failure risk

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata center capacityVSAvoidsystem stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data center into multiple independent sub-data centers that can operate autonomously. Each sub-data center handles specific portions of data, and the system can continue operating even if one sub-data center fails. This segmentation isolates failures to specific zones, preventing system-wide instability while maintaining the capacity to handle large volumes of data across multiple centers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements beforehand cushioning by creating redundant backup sub-data centers and implementing data replication strategies. Before any failure occurs, the system maintains backup capacity and redundancy buffers that can immediately take over if a data center fails, thus preventing system instability while supporting increased data center capacity through prepared redundancy mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)
