Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If server clusters are allocated randomly without a configuration mechanism, then device complexity is reduced, but resource allocation efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidconfiguration mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic server cluster configuration by periodically obtaining access records and recalculating community structures. The system adapts to changing access patterns over time, adjusting server positions and cluster assignments dynamically rather than using static allocation, thereby improving resource allocation efficiency without requiring permanent complex configuration mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system obtains access records from terminals to cloud computing servers as feedback on actual usage patterns. This feedback is used to iteratively optimize the complex network model and adjust server cluster configurations, creating a closed-loop control system that continuously improves resource allocation based on real-world performance data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Manufacturing precision

If cloud computing servers are distributed without community division, then network structure simplicity is maintained, but resource allocation precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation precisionVSAvoidnetwork structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the cloud computing network into multiple communities based on access patterns and usage characteristics. Each community represents a logical grouping of servers and terminals with similar access behaviors, enabling precision resource allocation within communities while maintaining overall network manageability through hierarchical organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different configuration strategies to different communities based on their specific access patterns and characteristics. Each community can have optimized server placements and resource allocations tailored to its local usage requirements, rather than applying a uniform configuration across the entire network, thereby improving allocation precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If server cluster configuration is static, then system complexity is reduced, but adaptability to usage patterns deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to usage patternsVSAvoidconfiguration system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs periodic reconfiguration by obtaining access records at regular intervals and recalculating optimal server cluster assignments. This periodic action allows the system to adapt to changing usage patterns over time while maintaining operational simplicity between configuration cycles, balancing adaptability with system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
