Solution Overview

Problem

The complexity and heterogeneity of data processing flows increase the load on data processing engines, leading to decreased efficiency and prolonged response times, making it difficult to maintain and merge these flows effectively.

Innovation Solution

The method involves partitioning data processing flows into semantic fragments based on semantic features and merging these fragments based on semantic equivalence, reducing the number of elements and eliminating mutual interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If data processing flows are processed in a traditional manner without merging, then each flow can be maintained independently, but the complexity and load on data processing engines increase, leading to decreased efficiency and prolonged response times

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoiddata processing flow complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple data processing flows by identifying and combining semantically equivalent semantic fragments from different flows. This reduces the total number of processing elements and eliminates redundancy, thereby decreasing system complexity while maintaining or improving processing efficiency through consolidated operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments data processing flows into smaller semantic fragments that can be independently analyzed and compared. This segmentation allows for granular merging of equivalent fragments from different flows, making the complexity management more manageable compared to attempting to merge entire flows at once

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If multiple heterogeneous data processing flows are maintained separately, then each flow's specific requirements can be preserved, but the maintenance difficulty and system load increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaintenance easeVSAvoidnumber of data processing flows
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent reduces the quantity of data processing flows by merging semantically equivalent semantic fragments from multiple heterogeneous flows. This consolidation decreases the number of separate flows that need to be maintained while preserving the specific functional requirements through semantic equivalence matching

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal merging mechanism that can handle heterogeneous data processing flows with different structures and requirements. By using semantic fragment analysis, the system achieves multi-functionality in processing various flow types through a single unified approach, simplifying maintenance operations

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

3Reliability

If data processing flows are merged directly without semantic fragment analysis, then the number of elements can be reduced, but mutual interference between different semantic fragments may occur leading to loss of semantic meaning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesemantic equivalence accuracyVSAvoidmerging process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data processing flows into semantic fragments before merging, allowing for precise comparison and matching of equivalent elements. This segmentation prevents mutual interference by isolating individual semantic units that can be safely merged based on equivalence criteria, maintaining reliability while managing complexity through structured analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
