Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for targeted information dissemination in home networks face challenges such as unequal detection and dissemination capabilities among devices, complex processing requirements, privacy concerns due to centralized data handling, and the need for constant connectivity of specific devices like smartphones or computers.
Innovation Solution
A decentralized system with detector, selector, and broadcaster agents on connected devices that collect, interpret, and act on event data locally, eliminating the need for a central server and allowing for anonymous, encrypted data transmission, enabling personalized content delivery without constant internet connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a centralized server is used to collect and analyze data from connected devices, then targeted information can be disseminated effectively, but user privacy is compromised and system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the centralized data processing function into distributed agent components deployed on individual electronic devices. Each device runs local detector agents, selector agents, and broadcaster agents that independently perform data collection, analysis, and content dissemination tasks. This segmentation eliminates the need for a centralized server to access personal data while maintaining targeted information delivery capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an anonymous identifier system as an intermediary between user devices and the information dissemination system. Devices communicate through pseudonymous identifiers rather than personal information, allowing the system to deliver targeted content without exposing or centralizing sensitive user data. This intermediary layer protects privacy while enabling effective targeting.
2Measurement precision
If advanced detection capabilities are concentrated in specific devices like electricity meters, then detailed user behavior data can be collected, but dissemination capabilities remain limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functional agent software that can be deployed on various electronic devices regardless of their native capabilities. Detector agents can collect data from sensors, selector agents can process and analyze information, and broadcaster agents can distribute content - all through a universal agent framework. This allows devices with advanced detection capabilities to leverage the full dissemination potential of any connected device in the network.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables devices to autonomously perform detection, selection, and broadcasting functions through locally deployed agents. Each device can independently execute the complete targeted information dissemination workflow without requiring external control or coordination, allowing devices with specialized detection capabilities to self-manage their data collection and distribution operations.
3Reliability
If multiple devices are used to perform detection and broadcasting functions, then system reliability improves, but coordination complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs identical agent software components across all electronic devices in the network. Each device runs the same detector agent, selector agent, and broadcaster agent formulations, ensuring uniform behavior and interaction protocols. This homogeneity simplifies coordination between multiple devices while maintaining system reliability through redundancy, as all devices operate according to the same rules and data formats.
