Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If conventional data storage technologies are used to store increasing amounts of generated data, then data capacity is improved, but data silos are created that segregate and isolate datasets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata capacityVSAvoiddata interoperability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges disparate datasets from different computing platforms and database technologies into a unified data structure that eliminates data silos. The system combines data from multiple sources while maintaining the ability to query and analyze them collectively, thus improving both data capacity and interoperability simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal data interface that can work with multiple database technologies and data formats. This universal interface allows the system to handle diverse data sources without creating segregation, enabling single-point access to heterogeneous data while maintaining compatibility across different platforms.

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

2Measurement precision

If data scientists create complex data models using sophisticated analysis application tools, then data analysis capability is improved, but interoperability with other analytic data tools is frustrated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analysis capabilityVSAvoidtool interoperability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer that sits between sophisticated data analysis tools and the underlying data models. This intermediary interface allows complex data models to be created and analyzed with high precision while providing standardized access points that enable interoperability with other analytic tools, thus resolving the compatibility frustration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the data analysis system into distinct layers: complex data model creation layer for sophisticated analysis, and a standardized interface layer for interoperability. This segmentation allows data scientists to work with complex models using specialized tools while the standardized interface ensures compatibility with other analytic data tools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If manual intervention is required to apply derived formulaic data models to datasets using local computing resources, then data model flexibility is improved, but operational burden and maintenance complexity increase

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, and, more specifically, to a computing platform configured to receive and analyze datasets to implement a data model with which to identify relevant data catalog data derived from graph-based data arrangements, whereby a processor may be configured to cause implementation of subsets of programmatic executable instructions based on relevant data catalog data, at least one example of which generates a concept interface portion adapted to an associated concept, among other things. In some examples, a method may include identifying attributes associated with data values linked to a conceptual entity, determining criteria data of a targeted application, selecting programmatic executable instructions based on the criteria data, and extracting data from a graph data arrangement as a function of the attributes, among other things.
