Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional centralized administrative systems for managing computing resources are inflexible and vulnerable to compromise or unavailability, leading to inefficiencies and potential failures in resource management.

Innovation Solution

An autonomous administrative node network is implemented, where multiple loosely-coupled nodes collectively manage resources through independent proposal generation and consensus-based decision-making, eliminating the need for a master node and allowing dynamic scaling and enhanced security.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a centralized administrative system is used to manage computing resources, then resource management is simple and controllable, but the system becomes vulnerable to compromise and lacks flexibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem reliabilityVSAvoidsystem flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the centralized administrative system into multiple autonomous administrative nodes that independently manage resources. Each node operates as an independent entity capable of making decisions about resource allocation without requiring central authorization, thereby eliminating the single point of failure while maintaining manageable complexity through distributed autonomy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension to resource management by enabling administrative nodes to operate at different levels of autonomy. Nodes can autonomously manage resources locally while also participating in consensus-based coordination with other nodes, creating a multi-dimensional management architecture that combines local independence with global coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If a centralized administrative system is used, then control and management are straightforward, but the system fails when the central system becomes unavailable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanagement simplicityVSAvoidsystem availability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the administrative control function across multiple autonomous nodes, each capable of independently managing resources. This segmentation ensures that if one node fails or becomes unavailable, other nodes continue to manage resources without interruption, maintaining system availability while keeping individual node operations simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each administrative node is designed with local quality by赋予 it autonomous decision-making capabilities specific to its local resource management needs. Nodes can independently respond to local conditions and resource requests without waiting for central authorization, ensuring continuous operation even when central systems are unavailable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If multiple autonomous nodes are used to manage resources, then system reliability and flexibility improve, but the complexity of coordination increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem reliabilityVSAvoidcoordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where administrative nodes share information about resource status and management decisions with other nodes. This feedback loop enables nodes to coordinate their actions based on real-time information, reducing coordination complexity through transparent communication while maintaining high system reliability through collaborative decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent designs administrative nodes with universal capabilities that allow them to perform multiple functions: local resource management, consensus participation, and information sharing. This multi-functionality reduces coordination complexity by eliminating the need for specialized coordination mechanisms, as each node can directly contribute to both local and global management objectives.

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

AI summary

Autonomous management of resources by an administrative node network is disclosed, including: receiving, at a first node of a plurality of nodes associated with an administrative node network, a resource request directed to the administrative node network, wherein the administrative node network is associated with managing a set of resources; obtaining a first proposal with respect to the resource request; obtaining a second proposal with respect to the resource request from a second node of the plurality of nodes associated with the administrative node network; and determining a processing consensus associated with the resource request based at least in part on the first proposal and the second proposal.
