Management Node Dynamic Sensor Data Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The aggregation of sensor data in edge nodes can lead to delays in data processing and analysis, as existing techniques require high-level analysis to determine appropriate collection methods, which can result in excessive data aggregation and increased processing times.
Innovation Solution
A management node and system that assesses the time required to process sensor data at both edge and center nodes, determining whether to analyze or aggregate data at the edge node or center node based on predefined thresholds to optimize processing efficiency and reduce delays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If sensor data are aggregated in an edge node, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but processing time increases causing delay in analyzing sensor data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the data processing location flexible and adjustable. The management node dynamically determines whether to process sensor data at the edge node or center node based on real-time assessment of processing time requirements. This dynamic decision-making mechanism allows the system to adapt between edge computing (for speed) and centralized processing (for efficiency), resolving the contradiction between transmission efficiency and analysis delay
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of processing location (edge node vs. center node) based on assessed time requirements. When the assessment unit determines that edge node processing would exceed time thresholds, the system switches to center node processing. This parameter change strategy allows the system to optimize between aggregation efficiency and analysis speed by selecting the appropriate processing location for each data set
2Manufacturing precision
If high-level analysis is performed to determine appropriate data collection methods, then data aggregation appropriateness is improved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an assessment unit as an intermediary component that simplifies the decision-making process. Rather than requiring complex high-level analysis, the assessment unit automatically evaluates processing time requirements and determines the appropriate processing location. This intermediary mechanism reduces processing complexity while maintaining data aggregation appropriateness through automated threshold-based assessment

AI summary
Provided a management node etc. that is possible to alleviate a delay in a time to start analyzing sensor data. The management node analyzes sensor data collected by a sensor device, and includes: an assessment unit configured to determines whether a first time period required to process the sensor data at a center node within a data center is larger than a prescribed threshold; and a determination unit configured to determines the sensor data is to be analyzed at the center node when the first time period is equal to or less than the prescribed threshold.
