Solution Overview

Problem

In networked environments, the inefficiency in data retrieval due to slow query response times and wastage of network and computing resources occurs because existing systems do not prioritize query paths based on frequency or importance, leading to unnecessary execution of queries across hierarchical data structures.

Innovation Solution

Employing a predictive model that schedules preemptive queries based on user or organizational profiles, usage history, and other factors, and caches results to provide them rapidly when requested, thereby reducing the need for real-time query execution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If queries are executed for each hierarchical path regardless of preference or frequency, then complete data retrieval is achieved, but network and computing resources are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork and computing resourcesVSAvoiddata retrieval efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system executes queries preemptively based on predicted user needs before actual requests are made. The predictive model analyzes user profiles, usage history, and query patterns to determine which hierarchical data paths are likely to be accessed, executing those queries in advance and caching results so that when users actually request data, it is already available, eliminating wasted resource execution of unnecessary queries.

2Ease of operation

If static reports are produced on scheduled intervals, then real-time interactivity is reduced, but resource usage is decreased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time interactivityVSAvoidquery response time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static scheduled reports to dynamic predictive querying. Instead of fixed time intervals, the predictive model continuously adapts to user behavior patterns, adjusting which queries to execute preemptively based on real-time analysis of user profiles, usage history, and query preferences. This dynamic approach maintains real-time interactivity while optimizing resource usage by only executing queries that are actually needed.

3Speed

If new queries are executed for each hierarchical path, then all data paths are covered, but query response times are slow

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequery response timeVSAvoidquery execution complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system executes queries in advance based on predicted user needs rather than waiting for actual requests. By analyzing user profiles, usage history, and query patterns, the predictive model identifies which hierarchical data paths are most likely to be accessed and executes those queries preemptively, caching results so that when users request data, response times are significantly reduced while avoiding execution of unnecessary queries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different treatment to different hierarchical data paths based on their predicted importance and usage frequency. Rather than uniformly executing all queries, the predictive model identifies high-priority paths that should be executed preemptively and caches their results, while lower-priority paths are executed only when actually needed. This localized optimization improves response times for critical paths without unnecessarily complicating the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A predictive model is employed to schedule preemptive queries based on frequently utilized query paths in hierarchically structured data. The predictive model determining queries likely to be executed by a user or organization is generated and dynamically modified based on user or organization profiles, usage history, and similar factors. Queries are then executed according to a predefined schedule based on the predictive model and results cached. Cached results are provided to a requesting user more rapidly saving network and computing resources.
