Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data configuration methods in communication devices result in redundant data, leading to waste of system resources such as memory and CPU, increased startup time, and poor flexibility due to uniform data distribution across modules with different service functions.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a configuration data centralized unit with a filtering sub-module to selectively filter and synchronize data based on attributes of data tables, reducing redundant data distribution and enabling each module to configure only the necessary data, with an adaptation sub-module for data conversion between centralized and distributed units.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If configuration data is distributed uniformly to all modules of the same type, then data consistency is maintained, but redundant data volume increases and memory resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary configuration data from the centralized unit and sends it to specific distributed units that require it. The filtering sub-module identifies and extracts only the relevant data subsets based on module identifiers and data table attributes, preventing unnecessary data distribution while maintaining consistency for modules that need the same data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by allowing different distributed units to have different configurations based on their specific service functions. Each distributed unit receives only the configuration data relevant to its local needs, with the filtering mechanism enabling customized data subsets for different module types while maintaining data consistency where required.
2Reliability
If all configuration data is distributed to every module during startup, then complete data availability is ensured, but startup time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The filtering sub-module extracts only the necessary configuration data subsets required by each distributed unit before distribution. This extraction process ensures that each module receives only the data it needs for operation, maintaining complete data availability for required functions while significantly reducing the total data transmission volume and startup time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary filtering and data subset preparation before the actual data distribution to distributed units. The filtering sub-module pre-processes the configuration data in the centralized unit, identifying and separating relevant data subsets based on module requirements, which accelerates the subsequent distribution process and reduces startup time.
3Reliability
If configuration data is synchronized across all modules, then data consistency is maintained, but CPU and channel resources are occupied
Solution Approach 1:
The filtering sub-module extracts and identifies only those configuration data changes that need to be synchronized to specific distributed units. By extracting the minimal necessary data subsets based on module identifiers and data table attributes, the system maintains data consistency for affected modules while minimizing CPU processing and channel bandwidth consumption during synchronization operations.
4Ease of manufacture
If uniform data configuration is used for all modules, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but flexibility for different service functions is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by enabling different distributed units to have customized configuration data subsets tailored to their specific service functions. The filtering mechanism uses module identifiers and data table attributes to provide locally optimized configurations, allowing each module type to receive only the data relevant to its function while maintaining a unified centralized data source for consistency where needed.
