Solution Overview

Problem

Distributed databases, such as vehicle fleets, are costly and time-consuming to duplicate, and querying them directly can be risky due to resource constraints and unstable connectivity.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a system that screens queries for feasibility, tailors queries for different vehicle models, and manages data retrieval efficiently by estimating result availability based on computational resources and bandwidth.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If distributed databases are duplicated to enable querying, then query accessibility is improved, but system cost and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequery accessibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a duplicate copy of the distributed database that can be queried independently from the original. This copy is maintained and updated to reflect changes in the source database, enabling developers to query and analyze data without directly accessing or risking the original distributed system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary querying system that sits between the developer and the distributed database. This intermediary handles all query operations, managing the complexity of distributed data access while providing a simplified interface to developers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Speed

If queries are executed directly on distributed databases, then data retrieval speed is improved, but resource constraints and system stability are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retrieval speedVSAvoidsystem stability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the database system into a read-only duplicate for querying and the original distributed database for data storage and management. This segmentation allows queries to be executed on the duplicate without impacting the stability or resources of the original system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent prepares a duplicate database copy in advance that can absorb query loads without affecting the original system. This cushioning approach protects the distributed database from resource exhaustion while maintaining fast query response times.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Adaptability or versatility

If application developers access detailed data structures to enhance user experience, then application functionality is improved, but system security and data protection are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication functionalityVSAvoidsystem security risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent provides developers with access to a duplicate copy of the database structure and data, rather than the original. This copy contains all necessary information for application development and testing while isolating developers from the actual system, thereby maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer that provides controlled access to database schemas and data structures. This intermediary allows developers to understand and work with data formats while preventing direct access that could compromise system security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Mobile computing network queried content capture is performed by receiving, from a server, a task executable by a mobile computing network, and a retention policy, executing the task using the mobile computing network to capture target content, assigning, to a first instance of captured target content, a probability of reducing based on the retention policy, reducing, in response to an amount of available storage becoming equal to or lower than a threshold amount, at least one of the first instance and a portion of other stored data based on the probability of reducing, and transmitting, in response to connecting to a wide area network, each instance of captured target content.
