Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional data management methods face scalability limitations and high operational costs in ensuring high online availability and performance for large-scale content data storage and distribution, particularly in cloud computing environments.

Innovation Solution

The method involves determining physical addresses for data shards within physical data groups based on logic information, allowing for efficient ordering and resource allocation, which simplifies data processing and improves resource utilization through the use of virtual and physical data groups and shards, enabling dynamic resource adjustment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional data management methods are used to store and distribute large-scale content data, then data storage and distribution can be achieved, but scalability is restricted and machine costs and operation and maintenance costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data into shards and organizes them in physical data groups with logical data groups, allowing independent management and distribution of data segments. This segmentation enables parallel processing and distributed storage, improving scalability without proportionally increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces address mapping mechanisms and indexing structures as intermediaries between logical data requests and physical data storage. These intermediaries abstract the complexity of physical data distribution, allowing efficient data access without directly managing the underlying complex storage infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If high machine costs and high operation and maintenance costs are incurred, then high online availability and performance can be ensured, but costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveonline availabilityVSAvoidmachine resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a multi-functional data management system where physical data groups serve both storage and distribution functions, while logical data groups provide both organization and access control. This multi-functionality reduces the need for dedicated specialized components, lowering resource requirements while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic address mapping and flexible data group configurations that can adapt to changing load conditions. This dynamic approach allows the system to optimize resource allocation in real-time, maintaining high availability without permanently over-provisioning resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If data is distributed across multiple physical addresses, then data distribution and accessibility improve, but address management and data ordering complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accessibilityVSAvoidaddress management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces logical data groups and address mapping tables as intermediaries between simple logical data identifiers and complex physical addresses. This layering allows easy data access through logical identifiers while the intermediary handles the complexity of physical address translation and management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a logical organization dimension above the physical storage dimension. Data can be accessed through logical groupings that are independent of physical address arrangements, effectively adding an abstraction dimension that simplifies access while managing physical complexity separately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
