Information Linkage System Reliability Calculation Module
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information linkage systems across organizations face challenges in determining the reliability level of information provided by multiple sources, leading to difficulties in selecting accurate data due to lack of consideration for information reliability indices.
Innovation Solution
An information linkage system that includes a reliability calculation module to assess and index the reliability of data stored in a shared database, using parameters such as data provider attributes, data value, source reliability, acquisition date, and user verification to provide a reliability level for each data item, allowing users to select high-reliability information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If information is linked across multiple organizations allowing multiple updates, then the quantity and diversity of information increases, but the reliability and accuracy of the information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing trust relationships and authority definitions before information registration. Organizations are pre-authenticated and their data authority levels are predetermined, allowing the system to automatically evaluate reliability based on these pre-established criteria when multiple organizations contribute information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where reliability information is calculated and provided back to users based on the trust relationships and authority levels of data providers. This feedback loop allows users to assess the reliability of information from multiple organizations and make informed decisions about which information to use.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple organizations are allowed to register and update data, then the versatility and coverage of the information system improves, but the difficulty of determining information reliability increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary component that automatically calculates and provides reliability information based on pre-defined trust relationships and authority levels. This intermediary eliminates the need for users to manually assess reliability, as the system automatically mediates the evaluation based on established criteria.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of reliability assessment from a subjective manual evaluation to an objective automated calculation based on trust relationship parameters and authority level parameters. This parameter transformation makes reliability determination systematic and consistent across multiple organizations.
3Measurement precision
If reliability assessment mechanisms are implemented, then the accuracy of information selection improves, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing trust relationships and authority definitions before information registration. Organizations are pre-authenticated and their data authority levels are predetermined, allowing the system to automatically evaluate reliability based on these pre-established criteria when multiple organizations contribute information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by automatically calculating reliability information based on pre-defined trust relationships and authority levels without requiring manual intervention. The reliability calculation module autonomously evaluates information reliability and provides results to users, reducing the need for complex manual assessment processes.
