Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information exchange systems are inflexible and struggle with intermittent connectivity, changing addresses, namespace mismatches, and varying communication mediums, making them unsuitable for modern data communication systems, especially in environments like vehicles with diverse technological eras and wireless systems.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of an object warehouse system that allows for the analysis and storage of data objects based on attributes, enabling secure and efficient exchange across different communication mediums and namespaces, using a repository and transport controller to manage data distribution and security policies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a buffering system is used between software applications, then information exchange is enabled with time-displaced sending and retrieving actions, but the system becomes rigidly tied to underlying implementation details such as name space conventions and domain data models
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary buffering system that decouples senders and receivers by storing information in a neutral format. The buffer stores data with generic attributes rather than implementation-specific details, allowing different systems with varying name spaces and data models to exchange information without direct coupling. This intermediary layer translates and adapts between different system conventions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the information exchange system into distinct components: senders, buffers, and receivers. Each component operates independently with well-defined interfaces. The buffer is further segmented into storage areas for different types of information (instant messages, email, file transfers), allowing flexible configuration and adaptation to different communication requirements without affecting the entire system.
2Ease of operation
If traditional data distribution models are used, then seamless information exchange is enabled in environments with common namespace and stable address space, but the system fails in modern wireless environments with intermittent connectivity and changing addresses
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having senders deposit information into buffers before the receiver is available. The system performs validation, formatting, and storage operations in advance, so that when the receiver becomes available, the information is already prepared and waiting. This eliminates the need for real-time coordination and handles intermittent connectivity gracefully.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic address resolution mechanisms that can handle changing addresses and names. The system dynamically resolves sender and receiver identifiers, supporting scenarios where devices move between networks, change IP addresses, or use multiple aliases. This dynamic resolution occurs at the time of information retrieval rather than requiring stable pre-assigned addresses.
3Quantity of substance
If existing buffering solutions are implemented, then message buffering is achieved, but the buffering component requires unique awareness of name space conventions and specific domain data models
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies homogeneity by standardizing the internal representation of information in the buffer. All information is stored with a unified set of attributes (sender identifier, receiver identifier, information type, payload) regardless of the original format or domain-specific characteristics. This homogeneous structure simplifies the buffer component by eliminating the need to understand diverse name space conventions and data models.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying to create standardized representations of information from various sources. When information is deposited into the buffer, it is copied into a normalized format that conforms to the buffer's universal schema. This copying process extracts essential attributes while discarding implementation-specific details, reducing buffer complexity while preserving the core information needed for exchange.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention improve information exchange, and in particular, the exchange of data objects between different software systems. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of exchanging information comprising analyzing the attributes of the objects. Objects may be stored in a repository and retrieved using attributes. In some applications, objects are received and sent to participants without accessing any information in the objects themselves. Different applications include object warehousing operable across different communication mediums that support different names or name spaces, classes, aliases, groups, geospatial information, or tokens, or combinations thereof.
