Dynamic Content Storage Location Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Content distribution systems face challenges in dynamically adjusting the storage location of content based on changing communication states between the user's request source area and destination storage locations, which can be affected by geographical conditions and time, leading to inefficiencies in content delivery.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a memory to store communication state information, an acquisition unit to identify request source areas, and a controller to dynamically change the destination storage location of content based on current communication states, ensuring optimal access for users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If content is stored in a fixed destination storage location, then storage management is simple, but content delivery efficiency deteriorates when communication states change
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic destination storage location selection by monitoring communication states between distribution locations and storage locations in real-time. The system automatically changes the destination storage location based on current communication conditions, transforming the static storage approach into a dynamic one that adapts to changing network environments, thereby improving content delivery efficiency without requiring manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring communication states and using this information to automatically adjust content storage locations. The distribution management apparatus receives feedback about communication quality and uses it to make intelligent decisions about where to store content, creating a closed-loop system that optimizes delivery efficiency while managing complexity through automation.
2Productivity
If manual selection of distribution apparatuses is required, then control over content placement is precise, but operational efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically selecting and managing destination storage locations without requiring manual intervention from content providers or administrators. The distribution management apparatus autonomously monitors communication states and makes intelligent decisions about content placement, eliminating the need for manual selection while maintaining optimal control over content distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual selection with an automated information processing system. Instead of human operators manually selecting distribution apparatuses, the system uses automated monitoring and decision-making algorithms to select optimal storage locations based on real-time communication state data, significantly improving operational efficiency.
3Speed
If content distribution does not adapt to communication state changes, then system simplicity is maintained, but access speed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by proactively monitoring communication states and pre-adapting content storage locations before users attempt to access content. The distribution management apparatus continuously assesses communication conditions and makes necessary storage location changes in advance, ensuring that when users request content, it is already stored in the optimal location for fastest access.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a memory, an acquisition unit, a storing unit, and a controller. The memory stores information concerning communication states between plural destination storage locations and plural areas. The acquisition unit acquires information on a request source area in which a user has submitted a request to acquire content among the plural areas. The storing unit stores the content in a destination storage location in response to receipt of the request. The storing unit changes a destination storage location of the content in accordance with a communication state between the request source area and each of the plural destination storage locations. The controller performs control to transmit, to the user, information for accessing a destination storage location in which the content is stored.
