Solution Overview

Problem

Existing power transmission systems face challenges in efficiently transmitting high-priority data due to increased traffic load, which can lead to deteriorated data quality and inaccurate information, especially when reducing data attributes without considering weighting, potentially affecting high-priority data transmission.

Innovation Solution

A transmission apparatus and method that determine the priority of power consumption data based on network congestion, selectively transmitting main, sub, and unsent data in priority order, ensuring high-priority data reaches the server efficiently while maintaining data quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If data attribute is changed to reduce data amount when traffic load increases, then transmission capacity is improved, but data quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission capacityVSAvoiddata quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating data into main data and sub data based on their respective priorities. Main data is transmitted with high priority to maintain data quality for critical information, while sub data is transmitted with lower priority or reduced attributes when traffic load increases. This selective approach ensures that data quality is maintained for important information while still achieving transmission capacity improvement through attribute reduction for less critical data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Quantity of substance

If entire data attribute is changed to reduce data amount, then transmission load is reduced, but information accuracy is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata amountVSAvoidinformation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent prevents information loss by applying different transmission strategies to different portions of data. Main data (high priority) is transmitted with full attributes to preserve information accuracy, while sub data (low priority) is the target for attribute reduction. This localized application of quality reduction ensures that the overall data amount is reduced without sacrificing the accuracy of critical information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and separates main data from sub data based on priority levels. By taking out the critical main data and treating it differently from sub data, the system can reduce the attributes of sub data to decrease overall data amount while maintaining the full quality of main data, thus preventing information loss in critical areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Quantity of substance

If data transmission time exceeds predetermined time, then traffic load management is achieved, but control responsiveness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission volumeVSAvoidcontrol responsiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the data transmission priority adjustable and adaptive. The priority of data can be dynamically changed based on traffic load conditions and data importance. When traffic load is high, the system can dynamically adjust to transmit main data first with higher priority, ensuring control responsiveness is maintained for critical operations while managing overall transmission volume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-classifying data into main data and sub data categories before transmission. This preliminary classification based on priority allows the system to quickly determine transmission order and attribute reduction targets when traffic load increases, avoiding delays in decision-making and ensuring that control responsiveness is maintained even under high load conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
