IoT Data Benefit Distribution by Appliance Model
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for distributing benefits from data usage among data managers are inadequate, as they do not consider the varying models of home appliances, leading to unequal distribution of benefits.
Innovation Solution
A method that associates different data managers with various home appliance models, records provision record information linking data identification and manager identification, and determines the amount to be transferred to each data manager based on this information when data items are used.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a distributed file sharing technique is used to gather data from IoT devices, then data can be shared on a distributed network, but the benefit distribution among data managers cannot be appropriately determined because appliance model differences are not considered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data management system by introducing appliance model-specific data managers. Each data manager is associated with specific appliance models, creating segmented responsibility zones. This segmentation enables precise tracking of which data manager is responsible for which appliance data, thereby enabling accurate benefit distribution while maintaining overall system adaptability for data sharing.
2Adaptability or versatility
If data managers are associated with multiple home appliance models, then data management coverage is increased, but it becomes difficult to determine the appropriate benefit amount for each data manager
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making each data manager specialized for specific appliance models rather than having universal data managers. Each data manager has localized expertise and responsibility for particular appliance types. This specialization enables precise measurement of benefit amounts because the system can accurately attribute data usage benefits to the specific data manager who manages the particular appliance model that generated the data.

AI summary
A method includes: associating one or more data managers with mutually different models of a plurality of home appliances the one or more data managers managing data items generated by the plurality of home appliances; recording provision record information in which data identification information and manager identification information are associated with each other, the data identification information identifying each of one or more data items generated by the plurality of home appliances, the manager identification information identifying each of the one or more data managers; and determining, when the one or more data items include a used data item used by a data user, an amount to be transferred to a data manager that manages the used data item, based on the provision record information.
