Client Terminal Notification Data for Task Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems lack efficient mechanisms for managing client terminal operation states and task management across firewalls, leading to difficulties in monitoring and prioritizing tasks in network environments.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system comprising a client terminal that transmits heartbeat notifications with operation state data and a management server that inserts task information into reply data, enabling task prioritization and management, with the client terminal performing preprocessing and task execution based on received information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the management server sends detailed task information and operation state data back and forth between server and client terminals, then task management precision and monitoring accuracy are improved, but network load increases and communication efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple data elements (operation state information, task information, and acknowledgment data) into a single integrated notification data packet transmitted from the client terminal. This merging reduces the number of separate communications required, thereby decreasing network load while maintaining comprehensive task management precision through the consolidated information exchange.
2Productivity
If the system implements comprehensive task management and operation state monitoring across all client terminals, then service level and task prioritization capability are improved, but device complexity and implementation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The notification data structure is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it conveys operation state information, transmits task information, provides acknowledgment of server communications, and enables task prioritization. This multi-functionality allows comprehensive task management and monitoring without requiring separate dedicated systems for each function, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high service levels.
3Speed
If the client terminal transmits frequent notification data containing operation state information, then monitoring accuracy and task response time are improved, but network communication overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges operation state updates with task information transmission in a single notification data packet. By combining these communications, the system achieves fast task response times through frequent updates without proportionally increasing network overhead, as each transmitted packet serves multiple purposes simultaneously.
4Measurement precision
If the management server processes and responds to notification data from multiple client terminals with detailed task information, then task management precision and client service quality are improved, but processing time and system resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only the essential task information and operation state data needed for effective task management in the notification data. By selecting and transmitting only critical information rather than comprehensive detailed data, the system maintains task management precision while reducing the processing time and computational resources required at the server端.

AI summary
There is provided an information processing system including: a client terminal; and a management server that manages the client terminal, wherein: the client terminal includes a transmission section that transmits notification data containing information denoting an operation state of at least an own machine; and the management server includes: a reply section that sends back reply information in return for notification data from the client terminal; and an information insertion section that inserts task information about a task of the client terminal into the reply information.
