Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile devices face challenges in managing and analyzing data collected from different service providers' clouds, as existing systems do not effectively integrate data from various applications, leading to reduced user benefits and inconvenience in accessing and utilizing integrated information.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method for integrated data management in mobile devices, which includes a data collector, processor, and storage system that classifies, processes, and analyzes data from multiple clouds to create an integrated model based on user preferences and habits, using predefined learning algorithms, and provides integrated data upon user request.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If data is stored separately in different clouds by various service providers, then each service provider can manage its own data independently, but the user cannot access and utilize integrated information from multiple applications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integration capabilityVSAvoiddata management structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a data management system as an intermediary layer between multiple cloud storage services and the user device. This mediator collects data from various clouds, standardizes formats, and presents unified access interfaces, thereby enabling data integration without requiring changes to the underlying complex cloud infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The data management system is designed with universal functionality to handle multiple types of data from different service providers through a single unified interface. It can collect, process, and manage diverse data formats (emails, photos, videos, chats, calls, documents) from various cloud platforms, making the system adaptable to multiple data sources without requiring separate management mechanisms for each.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of information

If multiple applications collect data from different clouds, then diverse data types can be gathered, but the data cannot be analyzed collectively to provide integrated user benefits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation integrationVSAvoiddata analysis efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The data management system performs preliminary actions by collecting and standardizing data from multiple clouds before analysis is needed. It proactively gathers data, converts formats to standards, and organizes information in advance, so that when analysis is required, the data is already prepared and integrated, significantly improving analysis efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges data from multiple separate cloud sources into a unified data structure. By combining data collection, format conversion, and organization into a single integrated process, it enables collective analysis of diverse data types (location information, photo information, text message information) to generate comprehensive user insights that individual applications cannot provide alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If each application separately identifies user information, then data privacy can be maintained at the application level, but user preferences and habits cannot be comprehensively analyzed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata privacy protectionVSAvoiduser characteristic analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The data management system acts as a trusted intermediary that collects data from multiple applications while maintaining privacy protections. It processes and analyzes data centrally to identify user preferences and habits, then provides integrated results back to applications, thereby enabling comprehensive analysis without requiring each individual application to have direct access to all user data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
