Solution Overview

Problem

Current data storage technologies require multiple devices for short-term and long-term functions, leading to increased manufacturing costs and inefficiencies, as they lack a universal memory device that can efficiently handle both types of data storage needs.

Innovation Solution

A new data storage system incorporating writable domains with a readable conditioning structure that generates complex data sets by defining and recording pattern matches and relationships with a reference media or file, allowing for efficient storage and supplementation using local and remote control systems, optimizing storage space and speed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple separate devices are used for short-term and long-term data storage, then each device can be optimized for its specific function, but manufacturing costs increase and system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata storage function specializationVSAvoidnumber of devices

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent describes a data storage device that can function as both short-term volatile memory and long-term non-volatile memory through a single unified structure. The device includes storage units with writable domains and readable conditioning structures that enable the same physical device to perform multiple storage functions, eliminating the need for separate devices and reducing overall system complexity while maintaining functional optimization

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If multiple separate devices are used for short-term and long-term data storage, then each device can be optimized for its specific function, but manufacturing costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata storage function specializationVSAvoidmanufacturing cost

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines previously separate short-term and long-term storage devices into a single unified data storage device. By merging the functional capabilities of multiple devices into one physical unit with shared components and structures, the patent reduces manufacturing costs while maintaining the specialized functions needed for both volatile and non-volatile storage operations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Loss of information

If literal bit-by-bit storage is used, then data completeness is ensured, but storage space efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata completenessVSAvoidstorage space

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs pattern recognition and matching techniques where previously stored reference data serves as a template. Instead of storing complete copies of all data, the system stores compact representations that reference patterns in the reference data, significantly reducing storage space requirements while maintaining data completeness through the relationship between stored data and its reference patterns

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

4Ease of operation

If simple writable domains are used without conditioning structures, then write operation simplicity is improved, but data elaboration capability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvewrite operation simplicityVSAvoiddata elaboration efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces readable conditioning structures as intermediary elements between the simple writable domains and the final data output. These conditioning structures process and elaborate the data from the domains, adding complexity and value to the stored information without complicating the write operation itself, thus maintaining ease of operation while enhancing data elaboration capability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

New, more efficient and robust data storage devices and techniques are provided. In some aspects of the invention, a new form of data storage device is provided, incorporating storage units with simple writeable domains, and a readable conditioning structure positioned around the units. The readable structure elaborates the simpler data written in the domains to generate more complex and complete data sets. In some embodiments, the physical arrangement, or other attributes, of structural storage device elements may serve as the patterned reference device for data enhancement and supplementation.
