Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems for encoding and decoding data on storage mediums like RFID tags and print media are inefficient, as they do not effectively utilize the limited storage space, leading to limitations in the amount of data that can be stored.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that parse data into multiple portions based on character position and semantic information, using different encoding schemes for each portion to generate a data packet, allowing for efficient storage and decoding of specific data portions without needing to decode the entire packet.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If data is stored on storage media with limited space, then storage capacity is constrained, but the amount of data that can be stored is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveamount of data storedVSAvoidstorage space available
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data into multiple portions based on character position and semantic information, encoding each portion independently using different encoding schemes. This allows selective encoding and decoding of specific data portions, optimizing storage space utilization while maintaining the ability to retrieve complete data when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If conventional encoding methods are used, then storage space is not effectively utilized, but the amount of data that can be stored is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveamount of data storedVSAvoidencoding system efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different encoding schemes to different data portions based on their specific characteristics such as character position and semantic information. This localized approach to encoding optimizes space utilization for each portion while maintaining overall system efficiency, rather than applying a uniform encoding method to all data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If all data portions are decoded to retrieve specific information, then complete data access is achieved, but computational intensity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retrieval efficiencyVSAvoidcomputational intensity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables extraction and decoding of only the specific data portion needed rather than decoding the entire encoded data set. By organizing data into semantically meaningful portions with independent encodings, the system allows selective retrieval that reduces computational overhead while maintaining ease of access to required information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

An encoding method is illustrated. The method includes receiving data to be encoded onto a storage media, wherein the data corresponds to an item and is assigned to a data category. Further, the method includes parsing data into a plurality of data portions, based on one or more first characteristics associated with each of one or more characters in the data. The method further includes encoding, by the processor, the plurality of data portions using a plurality of encoding schemes, to generate a data packet, such that a first data portion of the plurality of data portions is encoded using a first encoding scheme of the plurality of encoding schemes and a second data portion of the plurality of data portions is encoded using a second encoding scheme of the plurality of encoding schemes, wherein the first encoding scheme is different from the second encoding scheme. Furthermore, the method includes transmitting the data packet, wherein the data packet is configured to be stored in the storage media.
