Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Operators of electronic display boards face inefficiencies in accessing and presenting relevant data items for real-time events, as they must manually sift through multiple data sources, leading to slow access, limited timely display opportunities, and errors, with precompiled data being time-consuming and costly to produce.
Innovation Solution
A software application program that intelligently interfaces with statistical data recording programs to automatically identify, select, organize, and present relevant data items from multiple sources, based on predetermined criteria, enabling quick and instantaneous display on electronic display boards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If operators manually access multiple data sources to find relevant data items, then comprehensive data coverage is achieved, but access time increases and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the complex task of data retrieval by automatically dividing it into discrete steps: monitoring real-time data, identifying situational states, querying relevant data sources, and presenting results. This automation eliminates manual operator intervention while maintaining comprehensive data coverage across multiple sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intelligent interface program as an intermediary between operators and multiple data sources. This mediator automatically queries, retrieves, and organizes data from diverse sources based on real-time event states, significantly reducing operator workload and access time while maintaining comprehensive data coverage.
2Productivity
If precompiled data is prepared in advance, then data presentation is faster, but preparation time and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-identifying and organizing data structures and relationships in databases before real-time events occur. However, the actual data compilation and presentation are dynamically generated based on real-time situational states, avoiding the need to precompile all possible data scenarios while maintaining fast presentation speeds.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a dynamic data presentation system that adapts to changing real-time event states. Rather than static precompiled data, the system dynamically queries and compiles relevant data based on current situational states, ensuring both speed and relevance without extensive advance preparation.
3Reliability
If operators manually select and transcribe data items, then data accuracy can be verified, but human errors occur and time is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates automated verification mechanisms that provide feedback on data quality and consistency. The intelligent interface program automatically validates retrieved data against predefined criteria and cross-references multiple sources, ensuring accuracy while eliminating manual transcription errors and increasing productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables the system to perform self-verification of data accuracy through automated consistency checks, cross-referencing, and validation routines. This self-service capability maintains high reliability by detecting and correcting errors automatically, while simultaneously increasing productivity by eliminating manual verification steps.
4Quantity of substance
If multiple data sources are consulted, then data completeness improves, but system complexity and operational difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The intelligent interface program serves multiple functions: it monitors real-time data, identifies situational states, queries diverse data sources, retrieves relevant information, and presents results. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate systems, maintaining data completeness while reducing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intelligent interface as a mediating layer that simplifies access to multiple data sources. This intermediary handles the complexity of querying and integrating data from diverse sources automatically, allowing operators to access complete data sets without directly managing the underlying system complexity.
