Innovation Solution

A cloud service control system that manages server and client virtual machines using independent process fleets for interaction and content processing, enabling efficient deployment and running of application instances, with features like virtual private clouds, process fleets, and flexible resource management to support large-scale multi-user interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a dedicated server is built for each application instance to handle user interactions, then the system can provide stable and reliable service, but the device complexity and deployment difficulty increase significantly

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the application instance into two independent process fleets: server process fleets that handle interaction logic and client process fleets that deliver content. This segmentation allows each fleet to be independently deployed and managed, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining service reliability through specialized functional separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an interaction processing apparatus as an intermediary between the server process fleets and client process fleets. This mediator coordinates communication and data flow between the two fleets, enabling reliable service delivery without requiring complex direct connections between all components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the system supports large-scale multi-user interactions with high-definition content, then the user experience improves, but the bandwidth requirements and storage space increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconcurrent user handling capacityVSAvoidbandwidth and storage requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple client processes into a single client process fleet that serves multiple users. By consolidating content delivery resources and using shared computational assets, the system can handle large-scale concurrent interactions while reducing total bandwidth and storage requirements compared to dedicated resources per user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The server process fleets and interaction processing apparatus are designed with universal functionality to serve multiple application instances and user sessions simultaneously. This multi-functionality allows the same infrastructure to handle diverse concurrent interactions, improving productivity without proportionally increasing resource consumption.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If independent process fleets are used for server and client virtual machines, then the deployment flexibility and resource utilization improve, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeployment flexibilityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses parameter changes to manage complexity by controlling the number and configuration of process fleets based on demand. The system can dynamically adjust the scale and properties of server and client process fleets, allowing flexible deployment adaptations without permanently increasing structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Productivity

If the system processes object information and content information through separate apparatuses, then the processing efficiency and specialization improve, but the ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The interaction processing apparatus serves as an intermediary that simplifies operations by handling the complex coordination between server process fleets and client process fleets. It manages object information processing and content information flow automatically, maintaining high processing efficiency while shielding users from operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
