Solution Overview

Problem

The proliferation of data from IoT sensors and other sources in value chain networks overwhelms traditional centralized data collection methods, leading to complexity and inefficiencies in data transmission and automated decision-making.

Innovation Solution

A method for processing queries in a distributed database using edge devices, where queries are stored on a dynamic ledger, generating approximate responses based on summary data, and transmitting these responses, with the option to use a blockchain for data storage and a neural network for probability distribution modeling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If centralized data collection methods are used to gather data from IoT sensors, then comprehensive data can be obtained, but network overhead and complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata volumeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the centralized data collection system into distributed edge computing nodes deployed across the value chain network. Each edge device independently processes local data, eliminating the need for a single centralized collection point and reducing network overhead while maintaining comprehensive data gathering capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimensional approach by implementing hierarchical data processing with edge devices at the network edge and summary data aggregation at higher levels. This multi-dimensional architecture allows comprehensive data collection without the complexity of traditional centralized systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If all raw data is transmitted through the network for processing, then complete information is available, but network bandwidth and transmission efficiency decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential summary data from raw sensor data at the edge devices. Instead of transmitting all raw data, edge devices process and extract key insights, transmitting only these condensed summaries to the central system, thereby maintaining information completeness while dramatically reducing network bandwidth consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial data transmission by sending only summary statistics and aggregated insights rather than complete raw data sets. This partial action approach maintains sufficient information for decision-making while optimizing network bandwidth utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If traditional centralized processing is used for data analysis, then comprehensive analysis can be performed, but decision-making time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoiddecision-making time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary data processing and summary generation at edge devices before data reaches the central system. This preliminary action prepares data in advance, allowing faster central processing and reducing overall decision-making time while maintaining analysis accuracy through pre-processed quality data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces summary data as an intermediary between raw sensor data and final analysis. This intermediary layer pre-processes and condenses information, enabling faster central system processing while maintaining the precision needed for accurate decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Productivity

If edge devices generate and store summary data locally, then processing speed improves, but device memory requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing speedVSAvoiddevice storage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters of data representation by storing compressed summary statistics rather than raw data. This parameter transformation reduces storage requirements at edge devices while maintaining the processing speed benefits of local data availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a strategy where summary data is generated, used for immediate processing, and then discarded or overwritten. This approach allows edge devices to maintain fast processing capabilities without long-term storage burdens, as summary data serves its purpose quickly and can be replaced by new summaries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)
