Solution Overview

Problem

In IoT environments, the diffusion of abnormal data among multiple devices is a challenge, particularly due to resource constraints in devices with limited computing power and battery life, and existing methods require frequent updates of reliability information as the number of devices increases.

Innovation Solution

A data receiving method that includes a data receiving unit, a data determination unit, a data prediction unit, and a data receiving determination unit to assess the probability of receiving normal data from peripheral devices, allowing selective data reception based on calculated probabilities, thereby preventing abnormal data influx and maintaining constant resource consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If reliability information is updated and exchanged for each unit hour to prevent abnormal data diffusion, then data reliability is improved, but time and resources increase as the number of devices increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reliabilityVSAvoidtime and resources for updating reliability information
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by calculating a probability that next data will be normal data before actually receiving data from peripheral devices. This probability-based pre-assessment allows the reference device to proactively identify and block potentially abnormal data streams, preventing the need for continuous post-reception verification and reliability updates across all devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the parameter for data reception decision from binary reliability information to a continuous probability value representing the likelihood of normal data. This probability parameter is calculated based on historical data patterns and used to dynamically adjust data reception decisions, enabling more nuanced and efficient data filtering without requiring extensive inter-device communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If data is received from multiple peripheral devices to ensure comprehensive data collection, then data completeness is improved, but the risk of abnormal data influx increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidabnormal data influx
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the normality of received data and using this information to update the probability calculation for future data reception decisions. When abnormal data is detected, the system adjusts the probability assessment for that peripheral device, creating a closed-loop feedback mechanism that dynamically adapts to data quality patterns while maintaining comprehensive data collection from multiple sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The invention applies local quality by treating each peripheral device's data stream individually with device-specific probability assessments rather than applying a uniform filtering rule to all devices. This allows the system to maintain comprehensive data collection from multiple peripheral devices while applying targeted abnormal data prevention measures to specific devices based on their individual data quality patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If all data from peripheral devices is received unconditionally to maintain simple reception logic, then ease of operation is improved, but abnormal data cannot be prevented from entering and spreading

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reception simplicityVSAvoiddata normality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by enabling the reference device to autonomously assess the normality probability of incoming data and make independent reception decisions without requiring complex coordination or approval from other devices. The probability calculation and data reception determination are performed automatically based on historical patterns, maintaining operational simplicity while preventing abnormal data entry through intelligent, self-directed filtering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
