Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data compression techniques struggle to efficiently uncover and exploit redundancy across large and extremely large datasets, leading to limitations in data ingestion and retrieval rates, especially when data is stored across multiple tiers of storage hierarchy, and they are not suited for random access or require excessive computational resources.

Innovation Solution

The method involves breaking down input data into Prime Data Elements and Derivative Elements, using a Prime Data Sieve to organize and store these elements, allowing for content-associative access and deriving reduced representations through a Reconstitution Program, thereby achieving lossless data reduction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If data is stored in compressed form using existing compression techniques, then data footprint is reduced, but retrieval speed and ingestion rate deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data into prime data elements and derivative elements, organizing them in a sieve structure that enables selective access. This segmentation allows the system to retrieve only necessary data portions without decompressing entire datasets, thereby maintaining small footprint while improving retrieval speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary decompression mechanism that operates on compressed data without requiring full decompression. This intermediary layer enables selective retrieval and processing of compressed data, resolving the contradiction between maintaining compressed footprint and achieving fast retrieval.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If data is stored in uncompressed form for fast access, then retrieval speed is improved, but storage cost and data footprint increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by maintaining different data representations in different locations within the sieve structure. Frequently accessed data portions are kept in optimized formats while less accessed data remains compressed, achieving fast retrieval where needed without paying storage costs for all data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Quantity of substance

If existing compression techniques are applied to large datasets, then data reduction is achieved, but computational resources and processing time increase excessively

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary organization of data into prime and derivative elements during the compression phase, creating a structured sieve that enables efficient retrieval without requiring intensive computational resources during access. This preliminary structuring reduces the computational burden of subsequent operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Quantity of substance

If data is organized in traditional storage hierarchy, then storage capacity is optimized, but access efficiency for diverse data types deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal sieve structure that can handle diverse data types and access patterns through a unified interface. This multi-functional structure maintains storage capacity optimization while improving access efficiency for various data types through consistent organization principles.

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