Solution Overview

Problem

The complexity of selecting a suitable cloud resource for processing tasks is increased due to the variety of cloud resources with different properties, making it difficult to efficiently allocate work and balance resource load.

Innovation Solution

Classifying cloud resources by platform function and sorting them based on properties such as storage capacity, reaction rate, and flow rate, then automatically allocating tasks to the most suitable resources for efficient processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If cloud resources are diversified with different properties (storage capacity, operating speed, upload/download limits), then resource functionality and versatility are improved, but the complexity of selecting and allocating appropriate resources increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource functionalityVSAvoidallocation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments cloud resources into distinct categories based on their functional properties (storage capacity, operating speed, upload/download limits). By dividing the heterogeneous resource pool into segmented groups with similar characteristics, the system simplifies the selection process while maintaining access to diverse resource types, thus resolving the contradiction between versatility and allocation complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters used for resource identification and allocation by introducing a multi-dimensional classification framework. Instead of treating all resources uniformly, the system evaluates and allocates resources based on multiple parameters simultaneously (storage capacity, speed, bandwidth limits), enabling automated matching between task requirements and resource characteristics, thereby reducing allocation complexity while preserving resource diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If manual selection of cloud resources is performed, then flexibility in choosing specific resources is maintained, but the time and effort required for allocation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveselection flexibilityVSAvoidallocation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service automation where the system automatically performs resource allocation based on predefined criteria and task requirements. The automated allocation mechanism evaluates available resources, matches them with task demands, and assigns resources without human intervention, dramatically reducing allocation time while maintaining operational flexibility through configurable allocation rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-classifying and organizing cloud resources into categories based on their properties before allocation is needed. This advance preparation creates a structured resource inventory that can be quickly queried and matched with incoming tasks, eliminating the need for manual evaluation during actual allocation and significantly reducing the time required while preserving selection flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If cloud resources are not systematically classified and sorted, then resource management simplicity is maintained, but resource utilization efficiency and load balancing deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidmanagement structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments cloud resources into systematically classified groups based on functional properties such as storage capacity, operating speed, and bandwidth characteristics. This segmentation creates a structured management framework that enables efficient resource matching and load distribution across multiple resources, improving utilization efficiency while organizing complexity into manageable categories through automated classification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms resource management by introducing systematic classification based on multiple parameters (storage capacity, speed, upload/download limits). This parameter-based organization enables the system to evaluate and allocate resources efficiently by matching task requirements with resource characteristics, thereby improving productivity while the automated classification system manages the inherent complexity without requiring manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
