Solution Overview

Problem

Computing systems face challenges in securely transferring data due to air-gapped configurations and unstable network connections in remote environments, leading to vulnerabilities and data corruption.

Innovation Solution

Implementing human readable prime number compression (HRPNC) by generating variants of binary objects, performing HRPNC on each variant, and identifying the first complete variant for compression, while allowing for parallel processing and user notification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If data is transferred through physical storage media or temporary network connections to air-gapped systems, then data transfer is enabled, but system security is compromised and vulnerability increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transfer capabilityVSAvoidsystem security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses an intermediary encoding system that converts binary data into human-readable prime number sequences. This mediator allows data to be transferred through secure air-gapped systems via manual entry or physical media without requiring network connections, thus enabling data transfer while maintaining system security isolation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces mechanical/network-based data transfer systems with a human-readable encoding system. Instead of relying on physical storage media or network connections, the system encodes data into sequences of prime numbers that can be manually entered or transmitted through secure channels, eliminating the need for vulnerable network interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Quantity of substance

If traditional compression methods are used on binary objects, then data size is reduced, but compression speed is slow and computational resources are heavily consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sizeVSAvoidcompression speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent fundamentally changes the parameter being compressed by converting binary data into prime number sequences. Instead of compressing the binary representation directly, the system transforms the data into a different numerical domain (prime numbers) that naturally achieves higher compression ratios and faster processing speeds due to the unique properties of prime factorization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary encoding of binary data into prime number sequences before compression. By pre-processing the data into a format that exploits mathematical properties of prime numbers, the system prepares the data in advance for faster and more efficient compression, reducing the computational burden during the actual compression phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If binary data is manually entered in air-gapped environments, then data transfer is possible, but error rate increases and user burden increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata entry capabilityVSAvoiddata entry accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies a visual transformation by encoding binary data into human-readable prime number sequences with distinct visual patterns. The prime number representation creates a more visually distinguishable format that reduces reading errors and improves user accuracy when manually entering data in air-gapped environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes
