Distributed Data Distribution via Spatial Context
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current dynamic network systems do not effectively utilize spatial information from mobile nodes to determine the non-routing data to be delivered over wireless communication links, leading to inadequate data distribution based on the dynamic spatial state of mobile nodes.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that distribute data based on the spatial or organizational state of mobile nodes by using a distributed system with tree data structures representing network, spatial, and organizational relationships, allowing non-routing data to be communicated based on spatial data such as location, size, and orientation, and organizational data, using a routing protocol control message.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data is distributed to all nodes in the network, then data availability is improved, but network bandwidth consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by determining data distribution based on the mobile node's specific spatial location and organizational context. Instead of uniformly distributing data to all nodes, the system selectively distributes data to nodes that are spatially or organizationally relevant to the mobile node's current state, thereby improving data availability where needed while minimizing unnecessary bandwidth consumption elsewhere in the network.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-determining which nodes should receive data based on the mobile node's spatial and organizational attributes before data transmission occurs. The distributed system evaluates spatial relationships and organizational hierarchies in advance, establishing a predetermined data distribution pattern that avoids redundant transmissions and optimizes network resource utilization.
2Measurement precision
If spatial information is collected and processed for all mobile nodes, then data distribution accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex task of data distribution into separate spatial and organizational components. The system independently evaluates spatial attributes (location, distance, proximity) and organizational attributes (hierarchy, role, department) separately, then combines these evaluations to determine data distribution. This segmentation simplifies the overall system complexity while maintaining high data distribution accuracy through multi-dimensional assessment.
3Loss of information
If data is transmitted based on dynamic spatial state, then communication relevance is improved, but processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by transmitting only the subset of data that is spatially and organizationally relevant to each mobile node, rather than transmitting all available data. The system calculates the precise set of relevant data based on the mobile node's current spatial state and organizational context, transmitting only what is necessary to maintain communication relevance and minimize information loss, thereby reducing overall processing requirements.

AI summary
Techniques for managing data in a distributed system include receiving first mobile data that includes non-routing data for a mobile node of multiple nodes in a distributed data system. The mobile node is associated with a first data item of multiple data items in the distributed data system. Non-routing data includes organizational data for data items in the distributed database or spatial data, or both. Spatial data includes at least one of a physical location, shape, size, and orientation. A non-topological relationship is determined between the first data item and a different second data item based on the non-routing data. Content is communicated with the mobile node based at least in part on the non-topological relationship. These techniques allow conservation of valuable network resources by communicating only data relevant to a recipient based on the spatial or organizational context of the communicating nodes.
