Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In venue-centric events, there is a challenge with data interconnectivity and sharing between disparate physical devices and applications, resulting in discrete data silos without a standard format, storage, or exchange, which hinders seamless data consumption and sharing across different applications.
Innovation Solution
A data access control system that securely stores, transmits, and manages data from various sources, allowing authenticated applications to request and share data in multiple formats, using encryption and authentication to ensure confidentiality and interoperability, with local and remote components for efficient data management during events.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data is stored and managed by each data source separately, then data security and source-specific management are maintained, but data interconnectivity and sharing between applications are hindered, resulting in discrete data silos
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a central data warehouse as an intermediary component that receives data from multiple source systems, standardizes it according to a common data model, and makes it available to various applications. This mediator enables data sharing across applications while maintaining the security and integrity of source systems, as the data warehouse acts as a controlled interface between data sources and consumers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal data warehouse that serves multiple functions: storing data from diverse sources, standardizing data formats, providing secure access to multiple applications, and enabling data analysis. This single infrastructure replaces multiple separate data storage and management systems, achieving both security and interoperability through a multi-functional platform.
2Adaptability or versatility
If each application uses its own data format and storage method, then application-specific data requirements are met, but seamless data exchange and interoperability between applications are prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms data from various source formats into a standardized format within the data warehouse. By changing the parameter representation of data (converting different application-specific formats into a common data model), the system enables seamless exchange between applications while maintaining the ability to handle application-specific requirements through the standardized interface.
3Productivity
If data is distributed among many sources without centralized storage, then data source autonomy is maintained, but data consumption and sharing efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges data from multiple distributed sources into a single centralized data warehouse. This consolidation improves data sharing efficiency by providing a unified access point for all applications, eliminating the need for each application to access multiple separate data sources. The complexity is managed through automated data integration and standardization processes within the warehouse.
Data Source
AI summary
A system configured controls access to data associated with a venue-centric event. The system may include one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions. The processor(s) may be configured to receive from a first remote server a set of first data items associated with a first authenticated event application and store the set of first data on the local appliance. Second data items are received from a second remote server, at least some of the second data items are different from the first data items and thereby form a set of third data items. A request for at least one of the second data items is received from the first authenticated event application and validated. The request may be received after the predetermined start time and before the predetermined end time. The requested at least one second data item is communicated to the first authenticated event application.
