Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managing interactions between diverse devices and systems in computer networks is complex due to varying event information formats and functionalities, requiring intelligent integration and prioritization of events for optimal resource execution.
Innovation Solution
A software-based event handling system that receives events from multiple sources, accesses context information, generates new events based on event and context data using rules, assigns priorities, and manages event execution and interrupts across target systems, utilizing a rule engine and dispatch component for efficient communication and protocol conversion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If events from diverse systems are integrated onto a common communication framework, then system functionality and information sharing are enhanced, but event management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an event handler as an intermediary component that sits between diverse event sources and target systems. The event handler receives events from multiple source systems, standardizes their formats, applies context-based rules, and dispatches them to appropriate targets. This mediator abstracts the complexity of managing diverse event formats and routing logic, allowing systems to integrate without directly managing the complexity of event format conversion and routing decisions.
Solution Approach 2:
The event management system is segmented into distinct functional components: event sources, event handler, context repository, rule engine, and target systems. Each component has a specific responsibility - sources generate events, the handler processes them, context provides additional information, rules determine routing and priority, and targets execute actions. This segmentation allows each component to be developed, maintained, and scaled independently, reducing overall system complexity.
2Productivity
If context information and rules are used to generate and prioritize events, then resource execution is optimized, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining context information and rules before events are processed. Context data about source systems, target systems, and event types is预先 stored and organized. Rules for event generation, priority assignment, and routing are pre-configured. When events arrive, the handler can quickly match them against pre-established rules and context without performing complex real-time analysis, thus optimizing resource execution while minimizing processing time.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple source systems with different event formats are integrated, then system versatility is improved, but event integration difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The event handler is designed as a universal component that can process events from multiple different source systems with varying formats. It implements a standardized event interface and uses context-based rules to handle different event types, sources, and formats uniformly. This multi-functional design allows the same handler to manage events from diverse systems without requiring system-specific processing logic, thereby improving versatility while reducing integration difficulty.
