Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual periodic overview and reconciliation methods are used to track system components, then device complexity is reduced, but real-time system awareness is lost leading to inefficiencies and security risks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time system awarenessVSAvoidsystem monitoring complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically monitors itself by deploying network agents to SORs that extract metadata and generate custom tokens, eliminating the need for manual periodic reviews while maintaining real-time awareness of system components and their relationships

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical monitoring processes with an automated digital system using network agents, token processors, and neural networks to continuously track system components, data flows, and relationships in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If uniform application configurations are applied to all SORs, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to specific functional requirements is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization based on specific functionalitiesVSAvoidconfiguration management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts specific metadata from each SOR and generates custom tokens tailored to that SOR's unique characteristics and functional requirements, allowing each system component to be configured and monitored according to its specific needs rather than using uniform configurations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts configuration parameters by extracting metadata from each SOR and generating customized tokens that modify monitoring and management parameters based on the specific functionality and characteristics of each system component

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If cloud computing capabilities are utilized to spin up new environments, then system flexibility is improved, but duplication of existing SOR functions increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of spinning up new environmentsVSAvoidnumber of duplicate systems
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors network traffic and extracts metadata about SORs, generating custom tokens that are processed by neural networks to identify duplicate functions and provide feedback about system redundancy, enabling detection of duplicated SOR functions created through cloud deployment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces network agents as intermediaries deployed to each SOR that extract metadata and generate custom tokens, serving as a mediator between the cloud deployment process and the central monitoring system to enable identification of duplicate functions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Loss of time

If manual reconciliation of system data is performed, then loss of information is reduced through periodic checks, but loss of time increases due to non-real-time awareness

Engineering Contradiction:

AI summary

Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for system mapping based on processing of custom network packets. A token processor may deploy a network agent to a system of record (SOR). The network agent may scan the SOR and extract SOR metadata through a set of API calls. The network agent may aggregate the SOR data and generate a token according to parameters established by the token processor. The token processor may process the token through a neural network to generate a set of output vectors for the SOR. A system mapping engine may determine relationships between network SORs based on the output vectors and generate an integrated visual representation of enterprise systems. The output vectors may be adjusted based on new tokens received from the SOR and the visual representation may be updated in real time.
