Multimedia Document Integration for Heterogeneous System Variance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The management of status and affirmation between heterogeneous computer systems is complex, often leading to confusion, corruption, delay, and incomplete processes due to their convoluted nature and susceptibility to fraud.
Innovation Solution
A multimedia-document integration module that identifies heterogeneous distinctions between multimedia documents, integrates them, and uses a data capture module to extract data, which is then queried through SMS transmissions to an external device, with a variance analytic module generating quantitative variance from the responses to describe statistical discrepancies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If heterogeneous computer systems are integrated to enable data exchange, then system versatility and data exchange capability are improved, but system complexity and susceptibility to errors increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system comprising a transmitter that sends inquiry transmissions to external devices and a receiver that receives acknowledgement transmissions. This intermediary layer manages the complexity of heterogeneous system integration by providing a standardized communication interface, thereby enabling data exchange between different systems without directly exposing the underlying complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a multimedia-document integration module for integrating documents from heterogeneous systems, a data capture module for extracting data, a query module for generating inquiries, a communication subsystem for transmitting messages, and a variance analytic module for analyzing responses. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific aspects of data exchange independently, managing overall system complexity.
2Loss of information
If multiple multimedia documents from heterogeneous systems are integrated, then information completeness is improved, but detection of variances and discrepancies becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback through acknowledgement transmissions sent from external devices in response to inquiry transmissions. The variance analytic module receives these acknowledgements and generates quantitative variance reports that describe statistical variances and discrepancies within and between multimedia documents. This feedback mechanism automatically detects and reports information inconsistencies, making variance detection straightforward despite integrating multiple documents.
3Productivity
If automated data extraction and querying is implemented, then productivity is improved, but susceptibility to fraud and errors increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs self-service automation where the query module automatically generates inquiry transmissions based on extracted data, the communication subsystem automatically transmits these inquiries and receives acknowledgements, and the variance analytic module automatically generates variance reports. This automated self-service process improves productivity by eliminating manual intervention while maintaining reliability through systematic, rule-based processing that reduces human error and fraud susceptibility.
