Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If comprehensive evaluation of gas data timeliness and completeness is implemented, then data storage management efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage management efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a data quality evaluation module as an intermediary between data collection and storage management. This module assesses timeliness and completeness of gas data using predefined criteria, generating quality scores that guide storage decisions. The intermediary handles the complexity of comprehensive evaluation centrally, allowing the rest of the system to operate with simplified logic while still achieving improved storage management efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If multiple evaluation criteria for gas data quality are used, then data reliability assessment is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reliability assessmentVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes predefined evaluation criteria and weighting schemes for assessing data timeliness and completeness before actual data processing begins. These evaluation rules are configured in advance, allowing the system to quickly apply established metrics to incoming gas data without performing complex real-time analysis. This preliminary preparation maintains high data reliability assessment while minimizing processing time overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If differentiated storage strategies are implemented based on data quality, then data storage efficiency is improved, but storage system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage efficiencyVSAvoidstorage system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies differentiated storage strategies based on local data quality characteristics. High-quality data (meeting timeliness and completeness thresholds) is routed to primary storage systems for immediate analysis, while lower-quality data is directed to secondary or archival storage. This local quality-based differentiation improves overall storage efficiency by optimizing resource allocation without requiring complete system-wide complexity, as each data stream is handled according to its specific quality profile.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
