Innovation Solution

A method that determines a correspondence between service elements and target allocation devices based on a preset matching relationship and distance relationship, allowing for dynamic adjustment of service element allocation according to changes in the location of the source device and user, using linear programming to optimize the allocation process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If service elements are allocated according to a preset service element allocation policy, then the allocation process is simple and stable, but the allocation policy cannot be adjusted based on the actual scenario of the user, reducing intelligence and adaptability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability of allocation policyVSAvoidcomplexity of allocation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic allocation by introducing real-time distance detection between terminal devices and source devices. The allocation policy is no longer static but dynamically adjusts based on the detected distance relationships, allowing the system to adapt to changing user scenarios while maintaining operational simplicity through automated distance-based rules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms by continuously detecting distance relationships between devices and using this information to adjust allocation decisions. The system receives feedback about device locations and scenarios, processes this information, and dynamically modifies allocation policies accordingly, enabling intelligent adaptation without requiring complex manual configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If service elements are allocated without considering distance relationship, then the allocation process is fast and simple, but the allocation may not be suitable for the current user scenario, reducing personalization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization of allocationVSAvoidtime for allocation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary distance detection and scenario analysis before making allocation decisions. By pre-establishing distance relationships and using them as the basis for allocation, the system enables rapid personalized decisions without requiring time-consuming real-time analysis during the allocation moment itself

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically performs distance detection and scenario matching without requiring user intervention or complex manual configuration. The allocation process serves itself by using automatically detected distance relationships to make personalized decisions, reducing both time and complexity while maintaining high adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If service elements are allocated to distant terminal devices, then more devices can access the service, but privacy risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice accessibilityVSAvoidprivacy risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating allocation based on distance zones. Service elements are allocated with different priority levels to devices in different distance ranges, with preferential allocation to nearby devices and limited allocation to distant devices. This creates a localized allocation strategy that maintains service accessibility while protecting privacy through distance-based access control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

This application is applicable to the field of terminal technologies, and provides a cross-device allocation method for a service element, a terminal device, and a storage medium. The cross-device allocation method for the service element includes: obtaining a to-be-allocated service element from the source device, and determining a preset matching relationship between each to-be-allocated service element and each target allocation device, where the preset matching relationship describes a probability value that each service element is allocated to each target allocation device; obtaining a distance relationship between each target allocation device and the source device; and determining a correspondence between each service element and each target allocation device according to the preset matching relationship and the distance relationship, and allocating, according to the correspondence, each service element to the target allocation device corresponding to the service element. Therefore, a service element allocation policy can be adjusted based on change in the distance between the source device and each target allocation device, so that intelligence of cross-device allocation of the service element can be improved.
