Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing database systems lack an efficient method to automatically determine the suitability of data transfer methods for value transfers between database records, leading to potential unsuitable transfers due to varying conditions such as latency and input/output variance.

Innovation Solution

A computer system that receives a signal with a context for value transfer, obtains conditions based on the receiver's identifier, and determines if a particular data transfer method can satisfy these conditions, enabling or disabling the method accordingly to ensure compliance with specified requirements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple data transfer methods are available for value transfers between database records, then flexibility and options increase, but determining suitability becomes complex and error-prone

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata transfer method optionsVSAvoidmethod suitability determination

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically evaluates and determines the suitability of data transfer methods by comparing method characteristics against transfer conditions, eliminating the need for manual assessment and reducing complexity while maintaining adaptability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the state of data transfer methods from static availability to dynamic suitability determination by evaluating parameters such as latency requirements, input/output variance, and other conditions against each method's capabilities

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If data transfer methods are selected without automatic suitability determination, then system complexity is reduced, but transfer reliability decreases due to potential unsuitable transfers

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetransfer suitabilityVSAvoidsuitability evaluation system

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system establishes a feedback loop where transfer conditions are evaluated against method characteristics, and suitability determination results feed back into the selection process, ensuring reliable transfers while managing complexity through automated control

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary evaluation of data transfer method suitability before actual transfers occur, assessing conditions such as latency and input/output variance requirements in advance to prevent unsuitable transfers

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A computer system for selectively enabling a data transfer method is disclosed. The computer system includes a processor, a communications module, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computer system to: receive a signal from a remote electronic device via a network using the communications module, the received signal representing information including a context for a transfer of value between a database record associated with a data sender and a database record associated with a data receiver, the context including an identifier for the data receiver; obtain a condition to be satisfied in performing the transfer of value based on the identifier for the data receiver; determine that the condition is satisfied by performing the transfer of value using a particular data transfer method; and enable the transfer of value using the particular data transfer method.
