Data Processing Device Notified Party Storage Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Data processing devices face memory limitations that restrict the number of notified party addresses they can store, leading to incomplete management of data processing devices, especially when the number of information processing apparatuses exceeds storage capacity, resulting in missed notifications and service disruptions.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a data processing device with a notified party storage unit, notification unit, and reception unit that prioritizes registration requests from specific information processing devices, allowing high-priority notifications and managing storage capacity by designating priority levels and network ranges to optimize storage and notification efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the data processing device stores all notified party addresses from information processing apparatuses, then the completeness of device management is improved, but the memory limitation is exceeded and storage capacity is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating between two types of information processing apparatuses: specific apparatuses (administrators) and other apparatuses. The data processing device allocates different storage priorities and quotas to these two groups, ensuring that administrators can always be notified while limiting storage for other apparatuses to prevent memory exhaustion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of storage allocation by introducing a threshold value for the number of notified party addresses from non-specific apparatuses. When the total number of stored addresses approaches the memory limit, the device automatically stops accepting registrations from non-specific apparatuses, dynamically adjusting storage capacity allocation based on current usage.
2Quantity of substance
If the data processing device limits the number of notified party addresses to fit memory constraints, then storage capacity is sufficient, but the reliability of device management deteriorates due to missed notifications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent ensures that within the limited storage capacity, critical entities (administrators) are guaranteed notification services. By assigning higher priority to specific information processing apparatuses, the system maintains reliable device management for essential users even when overall storage is constrained.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the data processing device registers notified party addresses from all information processing apparatuses, then the versatility of the system is improved, but the network management complexity increases and service availability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent simplifies network management by creating distinct registration pathways: specific apparatuses (administrators) can register without restrictions, while other apparatuses are subject to automatic threshold-based filtering. This differentiated approach reduces the complexity of managing large numbers of notified party addresses while maintaining system versatility.

AI summary
A data processing device includes a notified party storage unit for storing a party notified of information on the data processing device; a notification unit for notifying each notified party of the information on the data processing device; a reception unit for receiving from an information processing apparatus a registration request for requiring notified party registration to the notified party storage unit; and a setting unit for setting at least one of the information processing devices as a specific information processing device, in which the notified party storage unit stores the notified party such that the number of the notified parties registered according to the registration request from information processing device that is not the specific information processing device does not exceed a predetermined number among the number of the notified parties that can be stored in the notified party storage unit.
