Solution Overview

Problem

Maintaining and updating specialized knowledge databases is a demanding task due to their ever-changing nature, and existing technologies lack efficient solutions for targeted distribution of knowledge assets between different computer systems.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented knowledge asset distribution platform that enables targeted distribution of packages of knowledge assets between provider and consumer systems, featuring a distribution module with receiver, database, browser, and sender modules, allowing customizable grouping and management of knowledge assets, dependency verification, and automated updates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If knowledge assets are distributed manually without automated routines, then customization and control over distribution are maintained, but the effort and time required to keep knowledge databases up-to-date increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveautomated update routineVSAvoidtime to maintain knowledge databases

Core Design Contradiction:

Extent of automationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-updating of knowledge databases through update routines that automatically detect, download, and install new knowledge assets from remote servers without requiring manual intervention, while still allowing users to customize which assets are updated

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring update routines with selection criteria and parameters before execution, allowing the automated distribution process to proceed efficiently without real-time manual decision-making

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If all knowledge assets are distributed to all consumer systems, then completeness of knowledge databases is improved, but network resource usage and data transmission volume increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompleteness of knowledge databaseVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by allowing each consumer system to have customized distribution lists that receive only the specific knowledge assets relevant to their local needs and configurations, rather than receiving all available assets uniformly

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The distribution system segments the knowledge asset repository into distinct categories and groups, enabling selective distribution of specific subsets of assets to different consumer systems based on their requirements

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If knowledge assets are grouped into fixed packages, then distribution efficiency is improved, but flexibility in customization of distributed content decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedistribution efficiencyVSAvoidcustomizability of package content

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic package configuration where the contents of distributed knowledge asset packages can be dynamically adjusted and customized based on specific consumer system requirements, allowing flexible composition rather than fixed predetermined packages

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

4Measurement precision

If manual selection and distribution of knowledge assets is performed, then precision in targeting specific assets is maintained, but the complexity and effort of the distribution process increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetargeting accuracy of knowledge assetsVSAvoidcomplexity of distribution process

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs feedback mechanisms where consumer systems provide information about their needs and current asset versions, and the distribution server uses this feedback to automatically make precise targeting decisions about which assets to distribute to which systems

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A computer-implemented knowledge asset distribution platform distributes packages of knowledge assets between plural provider system environments (PSE) and/or consumer system environments (CSE), which store knowledge assets and make the knowledge assets available to users of the CSE. The platform includes one or more processor unit(s), with one or more non-transitory memory unit(s), and a distribution module that distributes packages of knowledge assets. The platform includes a receiver module that receives packages of knowledge assets, a database module that stores packages of knowledge assets and/or stores content information of packages of knowledge assets, a browser module that provides a browser function for browsing the knowledge assets stored by the database module and/or for browsing the content information stored by the database module and a sender module that relays packages of knowledge assets.
