Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional internet traffic data loss reporting systems are inaccurate and inflexible, particularly when dealing with bulk ingested data that lacks strong periodicity, leading to overestimation of data loss and inefficient resource usage.

Innovation Solution

A data loss estimation system utilizing an internet traffic forecasting model to predict data loss during outage periods, accounting for recovery periods and non-outage related traffic changes, by converting and decomposing data to accurately determine lost traffic volume.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional internet traffic data loss reporting systems are used, then data loss can be reported, but accuracy deteriorates due to overestimation when dealing with bulk ingested data lacking strong periodicity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata loss measurement accuracyVSAvoiddata loss reporting reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the fundamental parameter assumption from requiring strong periodicity to accommodating variable periodicity in bulk ingested data. The system dynamically adjusts to different data ingestion patterns and outages by modifying how traffic volume is extrapolated and compared, allowing accurate data loss measurement even when data arrives in bulk without regular periodic patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts to varying data conditions by adjusting its analysis approach based on whether data is continuously streamed or bulk ingested. It dynamically calculates expected traffic volumes based on available historical data and compares against actual volumes during outages, maintaining accuracy across different operational modes and data patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If strong periodicity is required in data reporting, then measurement accuracy can be maintained, but adaptability deteriorates for bulk ingested data scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata loss measurement accuracyVSAvoidsystem flexibility for different data patterns
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves universality by designing a data loss reporting mechanism that functions effectively across multiple data ingestion scenarios. It can handle both continuously streamed data with strong periodicity and bulk ingested data with variable or weak periodicity, making the system adaptable to different operational modes without sacrificing measurement accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes its operational parameters dynamically based on the data pattern detected. When strong periodicity is present, it uses periodic-based extrapolation; when bulk ingestion patterns are detected, it switches to alternative methods that don't rely on periodic assumptions, thereby maintaining accuracy across diverse scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of manufacture

If conventional reporting systems are used, then implementation is simple, but resource efficiency deteriorates due to overestimation and unnecessary processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem implementation simplicityVSAvoidresource usage efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts its processing intensity and methodology based on the detected data pattern and outage characteristics. By identifying whether data is bulk ingested or continuously streamed, the system optimizes its resource allocation, avoiding unnecessary processing steps while maintaining accurate data loss measurement, thereby improving resource efficiency without complicating implementation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
