Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data placement techniques fail to utilize time as a constraint condition, leading to inefficient management and potential performance degradation due to unanticipated data movement.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device that determines storage devices based on time-related constraint conditions, allowing for data placement and prediction of future changes, thereby optimizing data distribution and reducing performance degradation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data is placed in storage devices without considering time constraints, then data placement is simple and fast, but system performance degrades due to unanticipated data movement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem performanceVSAvoiddata placement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring constraint conditions including time-related conditions before data placement occurs. The control unit determines storage devices based on these pre-acquired time constraints, allowing the system to proactively prepare for future data movement needs rather than reacting to performance degradation after it occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic time-related constraint conditions into the data placement determination process. By considering conditions that change over time (such as data generation time, access time patterns, or future time-based requirements), the system adapts its placement decisions to temporal variations, making the placement strategy dynamic rather than static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If data placement ignores time variables, then placement decisions are made quickly, but future data movement cannot be predicted leading to performance degradation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata placement efficiencyVSAvoidperformance degradation over time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The control unit acquires constraint conditions including time-related conditions before making placement decisions. This preliminary acquisition of temporal constraints allows the system to predict future data movement requirements and make placement decisions that account for time-based factors, preventing performance degradation before it occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates time-related constraint conditions that provide feedback about temporal patterns in data generation and access. By monitoring and responding to time-based constraints, the system can adjust placement decisions to maintain optimal performance over time, using temporal feedback to prevent future performance degradation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
