Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for generating testing data are inefficient and require maintaining a master copy of data streams for verification, which can be costly and impractical.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If hashing and/or cryptography techniques are used to generate testing data, then data can be generated for testing purposes, but the generation process is slow and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the fundamental parameters of data generation by using prime numbers and modular arithmetic operations instead of traditional hashing or cryptography techniques. This mathematical approach with specific parameters (prime numbers, modulo operations) enables much faster generation while maintaining data uniqueness and reproducibility requirements for testing
2Reliability
If a master copy of data stream is maintained for verification, then verification accuracy is ensured, but storage costs and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The generated data streams contain self-identifying characteristics through their mathematical construction using prime numbers and modular arithmetic. This allows the data to verify its own integrity and uniqueness properties without requiring external comparison to a master copy, making the system self-sufficient for verification purposes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the essential verification capability from the data generation process itself by embedding mathematical properties (prime number relationships, modular arithmetic patterns) that inherently guarantee uniqueness and reproducibility. This removes the need for separate verification mechanisms and master copy storage

AI summary
Data stream generation using prime numbers is disclosed, including: receiving an initialization parameter; and using the initialization parameter to generate a data stream comprising a merging of a first sequence and a second sequence, wherein the first sequence is generated using a first prime number and the initialization parameter and the second sequence is generated using a second prime number and the initialization parameter.
