Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current IoT systems lack an efficient method to merge and analyze IoT device data with contextual data, limiting their ability to provide comprehensive insights and decision-making capabilities across various applications.
Innovation Solution
A technology that merges IoT device data with contextual data in a relational database, allowing for queries and analysis that combine IoT device data with contextual information, enabling users to make informed decisions through the unified query interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If IoT device data is collected and stored separately without merging with contextual data, then data storage and management remain simple, but the system lacks comprehensive insights and decision-making capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges IoT device data with contextual data from external sources into a unified data structure. The server receives IoT device data, identifies relevant contextual data from multiple external sources, and combines them into a single merged data set that enables comprehensive analysis and insights while managing complexity through centralized processing.
2Measurement precision
If IoT device data is analyzed without contextual data, then analysis processing remains fast and simple, but the system cannot detect patterns, correlations, and anomalies effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-identifying and pre-fetching contextual data that is likely to be relevant to incoming IoT device data. The server maintains relationships between data types and proactively retrieves contextual information before analysis is needed, reducing latency during actual analysis while ensuring comprehensive data availability for accurate pattern detection and anomaly identification.
Data Source
AI summary
Technology is described for processing Internet of Things (IoT) device data. IoT device data may be received from an IoT device. Contextual data that is related to the IoT device data from the IoT device may be identified. A first schema that defines the IoT device data and a second schema that defines the contextual data may be identified. A relational database that merges the IoT device data with the contextual data may be created. Knowledge of the first schema and the second schema may enable the IoT device data and the contextual data to be read and organized in the relational database.
