Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If comprehensive gas enterprise data is stored in multiple databases with different updating cycles, then data processing and storage requirements are met, but real-time accuracy and reliability of data sharing between databases deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevolume of gas-related dataVSAvoidreal-time accuracy of data sharing
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments gas enterprise data into different categories (basic information, operational data, specialized data, supervisory data, shared data) and stores them in separate databases with different updating cycles. This allows each database to be updated at its optimal frequency while maintaining overall system reliability through a unified data management platform that ensures real-time accuracy for critical data sharing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a data switch as an intermediary component that mediates data sharing between databases. The data switch receives data sharing requests, determines priority levels, and routes data to appropriate databases, ensuring real-time accuracy and reliability by controlling the flow and timing of data exchanges between different database systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If data sharing priority is determined solely by request time, then data sharing process is simple, but data transmission efficiency and reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharing process complexityVSAvoiddata transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter used for determining data sharing priority from simple request time to a composite parameter that includes request time, data type, and estimated transmission time. This parameter change enables the system to prioritize data transmission more effectively, improving productivity while adding minimal complexity through automated priority calculation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Speed

If all gas-related data is transmitted immediately, then data sharing speed increases, but network bandwidth consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharing speedVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating data transmission requirements based on data type and priority. Critical data is transmitted immediately with high speed, while less critical data is transmitted at lower priority levels. This allows the system to maintain high data sharing speed for essential data while reducing overall network bandwidth consumption through selective transmission strategies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
