Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current process control methods for IoT devices lack efficiency in monitoring and controlling IoT entities and resources, particularly in simulating conditions for triggering operations and observing the effects of setting intelligent scenes.
Innovation Solution
A process control method that involves creating an advanced state resource as a sub-resource of a process management resource, allowing for simulation of conditions to trigger actions and enabling immediate observation of IoT device operations after setting an intelligent scene.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional process control methods are used for IoT devices, then the system structure is simple, but the efficiency of monitoring and controlling IoT entities and resources is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the process control system into multiple state resources (initial state, intermediate states, final state) that can be independently defined and managed. Each state resource represents a specific condition or phase in the process, allowing for granular control and monitoring of IoT entities without requiring a complete system overhaul.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by allowing users to pre-define multiple state resources and their transitions before actual process execution. This includes setting up state conditions, actions to be performed, and transition rules in advance, enabling efficient process control when events occur without requiring real-time complex decision-making.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional process control methods are used, then the system is easy to operate, but the ability to simulate conditions for triggering operations is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying by creating virtual state resources that replicate real-world conditions and states. These state resources serve as models or copies of actual process states, allowing users to simulate and test process behaviors without affecting the physical IoT devices. This enables condition testing and scenario planning while maintaining operational simplicity.
3Loss of information
If traditional process control methods are used, then the system is stable, but the ability to observe effects of setting intelligent scenes immediately is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where each state resource is associated with specific actions and notifications. When a state transition occurs, the system automatically executes corresponding actions and can send notifications to observers, providing immediate feedback about process effects. This allows users to observe the consequences of setting intelligent scenes in real-time or near-real-time.
