Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a computing platform as an intermediary system that sits between disparate data sources and end users. This platform provides standardized interfaces and automated data operations, mediating the interaction between different data architectures and enabling interoperability without requiring complex point-to-point integrations between each data source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The computing platform is designed with multi-functional capabilities to handle diverse data operations including data ingestion, correlation, aggregation, and remediation across different data sources. This universal approach allows a single system to perform multiple functions that would otherwise require separate specialized applications, improving adaptability while managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If manual intervention is used to update and maintain data formats and definitions across disparate data sources, then data accuracy can be maintained, but productivity and efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements automated data operations that enable self-service functionality. The computing platform automatically performs data correlation, aggregation, and remediation tasks without requiring manual intervention. The system self-manages data format standardization and definition maintenance across disparate sources, maintaining reliability while dramatically improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary data correlation and aggregation actions automatically during data ingestion, before the data needs to be used. By pre-processing and standardizing data formats and definitions in advance, the system eliminates the need for subsequent manual updates and maintenance, ensuring data accuracy while enhancing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If data from disparate sources is processed without parallelization, then processing simplicity is maintained, but productivity and processing speed deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

AI summary

Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and data-driven control systems and algorithms based on graph-based data arrangements, among other things, and, more specifically, to a computing platform configured to receive or analyze datasets in parallel by implementing, for example, parallel computing processor systems to correlate subsets of parallelized data from disparately-formatted data sources to identify entity data and to aggregate graph data portions. In some examples, a method may include classifying data parallelized data to identify a class of observation data, constructing one or more content graphs in a graph data format, correlating parallelized data to other subsets of parallelized data associated with a class of observation data; and aggregating observation data to represent an individual entity.
