Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication control systems face increased processing loads and delays when handling multiple communication opposite parties, leading to deterioration in communication service quality due to the need for extensive collation and confirmation processing for each communication packet.

Innovation Solution

A communication control apparatus that dynamically determines whether to store apparatus identification information in a routing table based on communication information and the available storage capacity, optimizing the routing process by selecting the appropriate communication route between a physical network and a VPN network to balance processing loads.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the apparatus stores apparatus identification information of multiple communication opposite parties in the routing table, then the communication route switching capability is improved, but the processing load for collation and confirmation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication route switching capabilityVSAvoidprocessing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary storage of apparatus identification information in the routing table when communication start requests are received. By pre-populating the routing table with destination information before actual communication packets arrive, the system eliminates the need for real-time collation processing, thereby reducing processing load while maintaining route switching capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The routing table is dynamically updated based on received communication start requests. The system adapts the routing table content according to actual communication needs, storing only the necessary apparatus identification information for current communication sessions, thus optimizing the balance between route switching capability and processing load

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If the apparatus executes collation processing for each communication packet, then the communication route accuracy is improved, but the communication delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication route accuracyVSAvoidcommunication delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs route determination in advance by storing apparatus identification information in the routing table when communication start requests are received. This preliminary action ensures that when communication packets arrive, the routing decision has already been made, eliminating real-time collation delays while maintaining route accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts and stores only the essential apparatus identification information needed for routing decisions in the routing table. By separating the route determination function from the packet forwarding function, the system eliminates unnecessary collation processing for each packet while preserving accurate route switching

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If the apparatus stores more apparatus identification information in the routing table, then the communication service quality is improved, but the storage requirement increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication service qualityVSAvoidstorage capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The routing table size and content are dynamically adjusted based on actual communication needs. The system stores apparatus identification information selectively according to received communication start requests, ensuring adequate storage capacity for maintaining communication service quality without permanently allocating excessive storage resources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
