Solution Overview

Problem

Current techniques for handling system-generated messages, such as syslog messages, fail to reduce memory sizes effectively, leading to increased computing and networking resource consumption, restricted bandwidth, and lost traffic in networks.

Innovation Solution

A network device that receives traffic, generates system messages, converts them into binary messages, compresses these binary messages to create a compressed binary message, and forwards it to a server device for decoding and processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If system messages are transmitted in original format, then message完整性 is preserved, but memory size and bandwidth consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememory size of system messagesVSAvoidmessage完整性
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the format parameter of system messages from text-based to binary representation, and applies compression algorithms to reduce the size parameter. This allows the message content to be preserved while significantly reducing memory size and bandwidth consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a compressed binary copy of the original system messages. The compression process generates a compact representation that can be transmitted and later decompressed to reconstruct the original message content, ensuring information integrity while reducing size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Productivity

If compression is applied to system messages, then bandwidth efficiency improves, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebandwidth efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies compression to system messages before they are transmitted to the server. By performing the compression action in advance at the source device, the patent reduces the bandwidth requirements for message transmission while the server receives already-compressed data, balancing the processing load.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Use of energy by moving object

If message size is reduced, then resource consumption decreases, but transmission fidelity may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputing and networking resource consumptionVSAvoidtransmission fidelity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates accurate binary copies of the original system messages through compression and decompression processes. The decompression at the receiving end reconstructs the original message content with high fidelity, ensuring that the reduced-size transmission does not compromise the reliability or accuracy of the message data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Reducing a memory size of a system generated message prior to transmission. A network device may receive traffic associated with a network, and may generate a system message based on the traffic. The network device may convert the system message into a binary message, and may compress the binary message to generate a compressed binary message. The network device may provide the compressed binary message to a server device, and the server device may process the compressed binary message, with a decoder, to generate the system message.
