Client Component Processing via Stored Relationship Metadata
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In client-server computing paradigms, the round-trip request/response cycles between the client and server can significantly impact performance due to the need for multiple requests to retrieve related components, leading to delayed processing and underutilization of client computing resources.
Innovation Solution
A system where a client device stores components and their relationship metadata, allowing for local processing without continuous server requests, by initially receiving and storing a set of components and relationship values in a single request/response cycle, and then processing them based on these metadata without needing subsequent server queries.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple request/response cycles are performed to retrieve related components, then component retrieval is achieved, but processing time increases and client resources are underutilized
Solution Approach 1:
The server pre-determines and transmits relationship metadata along with components in advance, enabling the client to process components without waiting for additional server requests. This preliminary action eliminates sequential request delays by preparing dependency information upfront.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines component retrieval with relationship metadata transmission in a single request/response cycle. By merging these operations, the system eliminates multiple round-trip requests and enables parallel processing of components and their dependencies at the client side.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple request/response cycles are performed to retrieve related components, then all necessary components are obtained, but client computing resources remain underutilized
Solution Approach 1:
The server pre-determines and transmits relationship metadata along with components in advance, enabling the client to process components without waiting for additional server requests. This preliminary action eliminates sequential request delays by preparing dependency information upfront.
Solution Approach 2:
The client independently processes components and their relationships using locally stored relationship metadata without requiring continuous server intervention. This self-service capability allows the client to utilize its computing resources efficiently by autonomously resolving component dependencies.
3Speed
If relationship metadata is stored and processed locally at the client, then processing speed increases, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates and stores relationship metadata as a simplified representation of component dependencies at the client side. This metadata copy enables fast local processing without requiring the client to maintain complex understanding of the entire component ecosystem, thus improving speed while managing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments component processing into independent units that can be handled using stored relationship metadata. By dividing the processing task into manageable segments guided by metadata, the system achieves fast local processing without overwhelming client complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
A client database manager can cause a memory of a client device on a client side of a network to store a first component, a second component, and a relationship value representing a dependent relationship between the first component and the second component. A client processing module can cause a processor to receive, after the storing, a request to process the first component at the client device. The client database manager can send to the server side of the network a request for an update of at least one of the first component or the second component. The client processing module can cause the processor to process at the client device, before receiving a response to the request for the update from the server side of the network, at least a portion of the first component and at least a portion of the second component based on the relationship value.
