Solution Overview

Problem

Analytics systems face challenges in accurately analyzing data packets from different network service providers due to variations in format and sequence, which hinders the determination of key performance indicators (KPIs).

Innovation Solution

A computer system employs network service provider-specific data adapters to decrypt, extract, and consolidate data packets into a uniform RFC or 3GPP-compliant format, generating synthetic data packets for consistent analysis and KPI generation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If data packets from different network service providers are analyzed directly, then the analytics system can process data in real-time, but the analysis accuracy deteriorates due to format variations and sequencing differences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary component that receives data packets from multiple network service providers and transforms them into a standardized format before analysis. This intermediary layer handles format variations and sequencing differences, allowing the analytics system to process data accurately without directly dealing with the complexity of multiple proprietary formats.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the data processing workflow into distinct stages: reception of proprietary format packets, transformation to standardized format, and analysis. This segmentation isolates the format conversion complexity from the analysis process, enabling accurate measurement while managing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If proprietary data formats from different network service providers are used, then each provider can maintain their own data structure, but the analytics system cannot accurately determine KPIs due to format inconsistencies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprovider format flexibilityVSAvoidKPI determination accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The intermediary component acts as a mediator that accepts various proprietary formats from different providers while enforcing a standardized internal format for KPI determination. This allows providers to maintain their format flexibility while ensuring accurate, consistent analysis across all data sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If data packets are processed without standardization, then the processing speed is maintained, but the analytics system cannot generate meaningful KPIs due to format variations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing speedVSAvoidKPI information quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by standardizing data formats before the analysis process begins. The intermediary component transforms all incoming packets to a common format in advance, ensuring that subsequent analysis can proceed at high speed without losing information quality or requiring reprocessing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
