Solution Overview

Problem

Establishing dependencies between different data management platforms for cross-platform data management is challenging, leading to potential data loss and corruption due to differing structures and configurations, especially in conferencing software systems like UCaaS platforms.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a metastore manager that facilitates access to data and metadata across multiple data management platforms, utilizing AI/ML systems with user consent and privacy safeguards, and leveraging commercially licensed data sets for model training.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If data management platforms operate independently with their own structures and configurations, then each platform maintains operational independence and autonomy, but cross-platform data management becomes challenging leading to data loss and corruption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecross-platform data management capabilityVSAvoiddata integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a metastore manager as an intermediary component that mediates between different data management platforms. This metastore manager handles metadata exchange and synchronization between platforms, enabling cross-platform data management while maintaining data integrity through standardized metadata protocols and dependency tracking mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If metadata synchronization is implemented across multiple platforms, then data exchange capability is improved, but system complexity increases due to dependency management requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-platform data exchange capabilityVSAvoiddependency management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the metadata synchronization function into a dedicated metastore manager component that operates independently from the main data processing workflows. This segmentation isolates dependency management complexity into a specialized module, allowing other parts of the system to maintain simplicity while still benefiting from cross-platform data exchange capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If AI/ML systems are used for data management operations, then data processing efficiency is improved, but privacy concerns and user consent requirements increase complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidprivacy compliance complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary user consent acquisition and privacy configuration setup before any AI/ML data processing operations commence. The metastore manager establishes and maintains user consent records and privacy settings in advance, enabling subsequent automated AI processing while ensuring compliance through pre-established authorization frameworks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Processing and transformation of data across multiple data management platforms is enabled through coordination of metadata and processing pipelines. A request is communicated from a driver node to a metastore manager to initiate a data processing operation on a data set within a first data store, resulting in a processed data set stored in the same data store and accompanied by partition metadata in a corresponding metastore. The metastore manager synchronizes this metadata with a second metastore associated with a distinct data management platform. The metastore manager then activates a data processing pipeline that operates independently of the first data management platform, enabling it to access the processed data set, apply further data transformations, and output a resulting processed data set.
