Solution Overview

Problem

In the field of swing analysis apparatuses, it is challenging to manage storage capacity effectively, as existing systems often transmit and store swing data indiscriminately, leading to potential storage overflow and loss of necessary data.

Innovation Solution

A data processing apparatus equipped with an arithmetic circuit that acquires swing data, determines whether the data indicates the physical quantity of deformation during a swing, and deletes unnecessary data to prevent storage overflow, thereby optimizing storage capacity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If all swing data is stored indiscriminately, then data completeness is improved, but storage capacity is exhausted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidstorage capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating between important and unimportant swing data based on specific characteristics. The arithmetic circuit identifies data points that meet predetermined criteria (such as abnormal swings or specific motion patterns) and retains only those, while discarding routine data. This selective retention strategy maintains data quality where it matters most while conserving storage resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by establishing predetermined thresholds and criteria for swing data evaluation. The system monitors physical parameters (such as acceleration, angular velocity, or force measurements) and compares them against predefined values to determine which data points to retain. This parameter-based filtering enables automated differentiation between significant and insignificant data points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If swing data is deleted to save storage space, then storage capacity is maintained, but data completeness is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage capacityVSAvoiddata completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system preserves data completeness at critical points by identifying and retaining swing data that exhibits specific characteristics or exceeds predetermined thresholds. Rather than uniform retention or deletion, the arithmetic circuit applies quality-based filtering that maintains important information while removing redundant data, thus balancing storage capacity with data completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter-based decision-making where the arithmetic circuit evaluates swing data against predetermined parameters and thresholds. This enables the system to make intelligent deletion decisions based on quantitative criteria, ensuring that data deletion does not compromise the retention of meaningful information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If swing data is transmitted and stored without selection, then information loss is minimized, but storage medium capacity is squeezed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation lossVSAvoidstorage medium capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the extraction principle by removing unnecessary swing data before transmission and storage. The arithmetic circuit identifies and extracts only the essential data points that meet predetermined criteria, discarding redundant information. This pre-filtering approach reduces the volume of data requiring storage while preserving the most valuable information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses parameter-based selection criteria to determine which swing data to transmit and store. By establishing predetermined thresholds and evaluation parameters, the arithmetic circuit automatically filters data based on its significance, enabling efficient use of storage medium capacity while minimizing information loss of critical swing characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A data processing apparatus includes an arithmetic circuit that performs an acquiring step of acquiring swing data indicating relationship between a physical quantity concerning an amount of deformation of an object to be measured and time, a determining step of determining whether the swing data indicates the physical quantity concerning the amount of deformation of the object to be measured, which occurs when the object to be measured is swung, to determine whether the swing data is to be deleted, and a deleting step of deleting the swing data if it is determined that the swing data does not indicate the physical quantity concerning the amount of deformation of the object to be measured, which occurs when the object to be measured is swung.
