Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a system and method to efficiently store, retrieve, and manage data associated with various types of tags that are linked to objects in diverse contexts, including authentication, tracking, and healthcare monitoring.

Innovation Solution

The system involves associating one or more tags with objects, communicating with these tags, receiving and transmitting data, and using a communication network to facilitate data exchange among components and tags, enabling the storage, retrieval, and management of data related to the objects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If data is stored locally in tags for authentication and tracking purposes, then data access speed is improved, but data security and management control deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata access speedVSAvoiddata security

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between tags and external systems. The server manages authentication credentials, stores sensitive data centrally, and controls data access policies. This mediator approach allows tags to operate with limited local storage while maintaining security through centralized management, resolving the contradiction between fast local access and secure centralized control.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If a centralized system is used to manage tag data, then data security is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata securityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data management system into distinct functional components: tags for data collection and storage, servers for centralized management and authentication, and communication networks for data exchange. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining centralized security control.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple types of tags are supported for diverse applications, then system versatility is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem versatilityVSAvoiddevice complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal tag system where a single tag architecture can serve multiple applications including authentication, tracking, and data storage. The standardized communication protocols and data structures allow the same tag type to be used across different domains, eliminating the need for specialized tag designs for each application and reducing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
