Solution Overview

Problem

Existing techniques are inadequate for analyzing the status of a delivery system comprising multiple delivery servers, particularly in content delivery networks (CDNs), as they focus on single server analysis rather than system-wide performance.

Innovation Solution

An analysis apparatus and method that acquire and compare delivery data from multiple servers within a CDN, enabling comprehensive analysis of the delivery system's status through a delivery data acquisition section and analysis processing section.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a technique for analyzing a single delivery server is used, then the analysis of individual server status is achieved, but the analysis of the overall delivery system status comprising multiple servers cannot be performed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery system status analysis capabilityVSAvoidsystem-wide monitoring coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines delivery data from multiple delivery servers into a unified analysis system. The delivery data acquisition section collects data from plurality of delivery servers, and the analysis processing section integrates and compares this data to analyze the overall delivery system status, thereby resolving the contradiction between individual server analysis capability and system-wide monitoring coverage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Measurement precision

If delivery data from multiple servers is collected and compared, then comprehensive delivery system status analysis is achieved, but the complexity of data acquisition and processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery system status analysis accuracyVSAvoiddata acquisition and processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The analysis processing section is designed with multi-functionality to handle various delivery data types from multiple servers using a unified processing framework. It can perform status analysis, comparison, and anomaly detection across different servers through a single versatile system, reducing the complexity that would otherwise arise from multiple specialized systems

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

AI summary

A status of a delivery system provided with a plurality of delivery servers is appropriately analyzed. An analysis apparatus includes a delivery data acquisition section 235 configured to acquire multiple pieces of delivery data delivered by a plurality of delivery servers provided in a delivery system and an analysis processing section 237 configured to perform analysis processing by comparing the multiple pieces of delivery data acquired by the delivery data acquisition section 235.
