Solution Overview

Problem

Existing decentralized computing systems are limited in size and scope, and cloud computing environments are pre-established, lacking the ability to be generated ad hoc, which restricts their flexibility and availability in dynamic or remote settings.

Innovation Solution

A system that enables the generation and utilization of a decentralized cloud infrastructure through primary and secondary mobile computing devices, which communicate via networks to share resources and establish a self-organizing, self-provisioning, and self-managing cloud environment, allowing for the creation of a virtualized and layered cloud network without reliance on stationary infrastructure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If decentralized computing systems are used, then network flexibility and local connectivity are improved, but system size and scope are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork flexibilityVSAvoidsystem size

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the cloud infrastructure into distributed mobile computing devices, where each device independently provides computing, storage, or networking resources. This segmentation allows the system to scale by simply adding more individual device segments without requiring a monolithic infrastructure, thereby increasing system size while maintaining flexibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional network topologies to a multi-dimensional mesh network architecture where mobile devices connect in three or more dimensions through wireless and wired interfaces. This dimensional expansion enables the system to grow in scope and capacity while preserving the adaptive, decentralized nature of the network.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Quantity of substance

If pre-established cloud computing environments are used, then resource sharing is enabled, but adaptability to dynamic or remote settings is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresource sharingVSAvoidadaptability to dynamic settings

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic resource allocation where mobile computing devices can join or leave the network at any time, and resources are dynamically assigned based on current network conditions, device capabilities, and user demands. This dynamic behavior enables the system to adapt to remote or changing environments while maintaining efficient resource sharing among participants.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Each mobile computing device in the network is designed to perform multiple functions - serving as a computing resource, storage device, network router, or service provider depending on its capabilities and current state. This multi-functionality allows the system to provide comprehensive resource sharing across diverse settings without requiring specialized infrastructure for each function.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Stability of the object's composition

If stationary infrastructure is used, then network stability is improved, but deployment flexibility and ad hoc generation capability are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork stabilityVSAvoiddeployment flexibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables mobile computing devices to self-organize into a stable network infrastructure without requiring stationary components. Devices automatically discover each other, establish connections, allocate resources, and maintain network stability through self-provisioning and self-management protocols, thereby achieving both stability and deployment flexibility simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces virtualization layers and software intermediaries that run on mobile devices to provide stable network services. These software intermediaries abstract the underlying hardware variability and create a consistent, reliable computing environment that mimics traditional stationary infrastructure while maintaining the mobility and flexibility of ad hoc networks.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
