Solution Overview

Problem

Current CDN coverage schemes require manual maintenance, leading to heavy workloads, low adjustment efficiency, high artificial failure rates, and unreasonable service quality due to the lack of automated service quality evaluation standards.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for generating a CDN coverage scheme that automatically calculates node quality evaluation data and generates an optimal coverage scheme based on predefined parameters, reducing manual maintenance and improving service quality by selecting nodes with the highest quality scores until node bandwidth capacity matches area bandwidth capacity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual maintenance mode is used for CDN coverage schemes, then configuration flexibility is maintained, but workload increases and adjustment efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment efficiencyVSAvoidworkload
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-evaluation of node quality and automatically generates coverage schemes without manual intervention. The evaluation module autonomously collects node data, calculates quality metrics, and the generation module automatically creates optimized coverage schemes, enabling the system to serve itself and eliminate manual maintenance workload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with automated computational systems. Instead of manual configuration and adjustment, the system uses evaluation modules to calculate node quality and generation modules to automatically produce coverage schemes, substituting human labor with automated information processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If manual configuration is used for CDN coverage schemes, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but artificial failure rate increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveartificial failure rateVSAvoidconfiguration simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where node quality is continuously evaluated based on performance data, and coverage schemes are automatically adjusted based on evaluation results. This closed-loop feedback ensures high reliability by continuously optimizing the system based on actual performance rather than static manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The automated evaluation and generation system eliminates human error by performing all configuration tasks autonomously. The system self-monitors node quality, self-evaluates performance, and self-adjusts coverage schemes, removing the source of artificial failures associated with manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If automated node quality evaluation is implemented, then service quality improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the complex task of coverage scheme management into distinct modular components: an evaluation module that assesses node quality, a generation module that creates coverage schemes, and a scheduling module that implements them. This segmentation reduces system complexity by making each component independent and manageable while maintaining overall service quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
