Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In virtualized computing environments, location-based information is static and does not reflect the current client-side environment, leading to incorrect data access and functionality issues, such as improper printing, policy updates, and application delivery.
Innovation Solution
Systems and methods for dynamically updating computer memory by obtaining client location-based information during a virtual session and modifying application requests to provide accurate client-side information, allowing applications to access local resources and functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If static location-based information is used in virtualized environments, then system simplicity is maintained, but application functionality and data accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static location-based information to dynamic information that changes based on the current client environment. The system dynamically determines and updates location-based information (such as IP address, hostname, geographic location) based on the actual network configuration and client environment at runtime, allowing applications to access accurate, up-to-date information without increasing overall system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (the system that intercepts and modifies environment variable requests) between the application and the traditional static environment variables. This intermediary captures the original static location-based information, determines the current client environment, and provides corrected location-based information to applications, thereby maintaining system simplicity while improving reliability
2Ease of manufacture
If static location-based information is used, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but data accuracy and location-based functionality deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by having the system continuously monitor and determine the current client environment information (IP address, hostname, geographic location) and use this feedback to correct environment variables. The system receives feedback about the actual network configuration and dynamically adjusts location-based information accordingly, ensuring high data accuracy while maintaining implementation simplicity through automated detection and correction
3Device complexity
If location-based information reflects server environment, then server-side processing is simplified, but client-side application accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the extraction principle by separating the server environment information from the client environment information. The system extracts and preserves the original server-side processing simplicity while simultaneously extracting and providing accurate client environment information to applications. This is achieved by capturing the actual client environment details (IP, hostname, location) and making them available to applications without complicating server-side processing logic
