Solution Overview

Problem

Current multi-cloud systems are inadequate in pushing and prioritizing context-relevant data to cloud servers in a timely and relevant fashion, failing to adapt to changing contextual situations and not optimizing network bandwidth utilization.

Innovation Solution

The method involves identifying contextual situations, determining relevant data sets and applications, calculating bandwidths, and dynamically scheduling job processing sequences to prioritize and migrate data based on contextual relevance and available bandwidth.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If data migration is performed using traditional multi-cloud systems, then data can be stored in multiple locations, but the system fails to prioritize context-relevant data and does not optimize bandwidth utilization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata migration efficiencyVSAvoidbandwidth utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts data migration priorities and bandwidth allocation based on contextual situations. The job rescheduling mechanism continuously adapts to changing conditions, modifying the processing sequence of data migration tasks to optimize both productivity and resource utilization in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes migration parameters such as priority levels and bandwidth allocation based on contextual relevance. By evaluating contextual situations and application requirements, the system adjusts these parameters to ensure that context-relevant data is migrated with appropriate priority while optimizing overall bandwidth utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If all data sets are migrated with equal priority, then comprehensive data coverage is achieved, but contextually relevant data is not processed in a timely manner

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different priority levels to different data sets based on their contextual relevance. Instead of uniform treatment, each data set receives a priority level tailored to its specific importance and urgency, ensuring that contextually critical data is processed faster while maintaining overall data completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system focuses computational resources and bandwidth on migrating context-relevant data with higher priority, rather than treating all data equally. This partial action approach ensures timely processing of critical data while still maintaining comprehensive data coverage through job rescheduling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Device complexity

If data migration is performed without contextual analysis, then system complexity is reduced, but the system cannot adapt to changing contextual situations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidcontextual adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary contextual analysis and application identification before data migration begins. By pre-evaluating contextual situations and determining priority levels in advance, the system prepares migration strategies that can adapt to specific contexts without adding significant complexity during the actual migration process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The job rescheduling mechanism incorporates feedback from contextual analysis to dynamically adjust migration priorities. The system continuously monitors contextual situations and uses this feedback to modify the processing sequence, enabling adaptability while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured feedback loops.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
