Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data processing methods for management and control systems, such as SDN controllers, fail to effectively determine which components to interact with for data collection and configuration based on user requests, leading to inefficiencies in network control and optimization.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method and apparatus that involves receiving a data processing request, determining a target management and control component based on the request, and generating a specific request for data collection or configuration to be sent to that component, utilizing directory service information to identify the appropriate components for interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If data processing requests are sent without determining target components, then the system can process requests, but the interaction with correct components cannot be identified leading to control inefficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent identificationVSAvoidnetwork control efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a component determination module as an intermediary between the data processing request and the management and control components. This module uses directory service information to identify and route requests to the correct target components, solving the problem of unable to identify correct components while maintaining processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the system interacts with all management and control components, then data collection can be comprehensive, but the processing time and system complexity increase

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the management and control system into distinct components with specific functions (data collection components, configuration components, etc.). The component determination module identifies and interacts only with the specific target components needed for each data processing request, rather than all components, thus maintaining data completeness while reducing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Device complexity

If the system uses generic data processing requests, then the processing method is simple, but the data collection and configuration accuracy decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverequest processing complexityVSAvoiddata collection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by generating different types of data processing requests (data collection requests, configuration requests, etc.) tailored to the specific target component and its function. Each request type contains component-specific parameters and instructions, ensuring accurate data collection and configuration while maintaining manageable complexity through standardized request structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
