Solution Overview

Problem

Distributed systems face limitations in managing data due to finite computing resources, leading to inefficient use of bandwidth and storage, as well as irrelevant data consumption.

Innovation Solution

A data management framework that selectively tags and manages data based on user-specific needs, using a pre-trained model refined by user input and rules to identify and transmit only relevant data portions, updating the model to improve relevance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If all data is collected, transmitted, and stored in a distributed system, then complete data availability is achieved, but computing resources, bandwidth, and storage are wasted on irrelevant data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata availabilityVSAvoidcomputing resource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and transmits only the relevant portions of data based on user-specific needs and preferences. A data management framework identifies and separates relevant data from irrelevant data, transmitting only the necessary portions to remote entities, thereby reducing bandwidth consumption and computing resource usage while maintaining data availability for relevant information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different data transmission and processing strategies to different portions of data based on their relevance to specific users. Relevant data receives priority processing and transmission, while irrelevant data is filtered out or processed locally without being transmitted, creating quality differentiation in data handling across the distributed system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If a pre-trained model is used to tag and filter data, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but the initial model may not accurately identify user-specific relevant data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoiddata relevance identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where user interactions with tagged data are collected and used to refine the pre-trained model. The model learns from actual user behavior patterns and feedback, continuously improving its ability to accurately identify and tag relevant data portions for specific users, thereby increasing both transmission efficiency and identification precision over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary tagging of data portions using the pre-trained model before transmission decisions are made. This preliminary action allows the system to pre-identify potentially relevant data segments, which are then further filtered or confirmed based on user-specific rules and preferences, improving overall processing efficiency while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Methods and systems for managing data in distributed systems are disclosed. The data may be managed by selectively distributing data based on relevancy of the data for various purposes. The relevancy of different portions of data may be defined by a user. When new portions of data are obtained, the relevancy ascribed to the new portions of data may be used to determine whether to distribute or not distribute the new portions of data. By limiting which portions of data are distributed, computing resources that may otherwise be expended for distributing less relevant data may be reduced.
