Data Conveyance Rule Templates for Dynamic Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current data communication networks face challenges in efficiently managing data conveyance rules, particularly in determining when and how to send data to devices, as existing systems lack a robust mechanism for rule modification and user interface management.
Innovation Solution
A system and process for data conveyance management that involves determining if data conveyance rules need modification, identifying rule templates, creating rules by binding templates with specified parameters, and translating these rules into a rule engine format, allowing for user interface management and data distribution based on modified rules.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If data conveyance rules are modified dynamically, then data distribution efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data conveyance rule system into distinct components: rule templates (defining structure), parameters (defining variables), and rule instances (specific configurations). This segmentation allows dynamic modification of individual rules without affecting the entire system, improving efficiency while managing complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining rule templates with standardized structures and parameters before actual data conveyance operations. This allows the system to handle dynamic rule modifications efficiently, as the framework is already in place to accommodate changes without requiring complex runtime restructuring.
2Adaptability or versatility
If rule templates with parameters are used, then adaptability of data conveyance is improved, but difficulty of rule management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates universal rule templates that can serve multiple functions and adapt to different data conveyance scenarios. A single template structure can accommodate various parameters and conditions, making the system highly adaptable while reducing the need to manage numerous separate rule definitions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements copying by allowing rule templates to be instantiated multiple times with different parameter values. Once a template is defined, it can be copied and configured for different situations by simply modifying parameters, rather than creating entirely new rules each time, thereby reducing management difficulty.
3Ease of operation
If natural language descriptions are provided for rule templates, then ease of user operation is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling users to directly interact with rule templates using natural language descriptions without requiring specialized knowledge of the underlying system. The system automatically processes these descriptions, translates them into formal rule configurations, and applies the changes, making operation easier while minimizing processing overhead through automated interpretation.
Data Source
AI summary
Data conveyance management may be facilitated by a process performed at a data distribution device. The data distribution device may determine whether a message has been received indicating that data conveyance rules are to be modified and, if the message has been received, identify a rule template associated with the data conveyance rules, the identified rule template including at least one parameter. The data distribution device may also send a message specifying a user interface corresponding to the rule template and the parameter, determine whether a message including a specification of the parameter has been received, and, if the message has been received, create a rule by binding the template with the specified parameter.
