Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for gas data management in the smart gas industry do not effectively evaluate the timeliness and completeness of gas data, leading to inefficient data storage and processing challenges.

Innovation Solution

A method for smart gas data management that involves an IoT system with a smart gas management platform to obtain, evaluate, and store raw gas data based on time reliability and data reliability, using a comprehensive evaluation framework to determine optimal storage instructions for gas transportation, pipeline, and equipment data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If comprehensive multi-dimensional evaluation of gas data is implemented, then data quality assessment capability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata quality evaluationVSAvoidevaluation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data quality evaluation into two distinct dimensions: time reliability evaluation and data completeness evaluation. Each dimension is assessed independently through specific indicators (e.g., data upload time for time reliability, data field completeness for data completeness), allowing the complex evaluation task to be divided into manageable, modular components that can be processed separately and then integrated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If data is stored without reliability evaluation, then storage speed is improved, but data management reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage speedVSAvoiddata management
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by conducting reliability and completeness evaluations on gas data before the storage operation. The system assesses time reliability and data completeness metrics, generates a quality evaluation result, and only then proceeds to store the data. This pre-evaluation mechanism ensures that data management reliability is maintained without significantly impacting storage speed, as the evaluation is performed as a prerequisite step rather than during the storage process itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If all gas data is stored uniformly, then storage simplicity is improved, but data retrieval efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage simplicityVSAvoiddata retrieval time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating data storage based on evaluation results. Instead of uniform storage, the system categorizes data into different storage areas according to their time reliability and completeness metrics. High-quality data with excellent time reliability and completeness is stored in priority storage areas for fast retrieval, while lower-quality data is stored in standard areas. This localized differentiation optimizes retrieval efficiency for critical data without significantly complicating the overall storage architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
