Dynamic Handshake Protocol via Contributor List Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing handshake protocols in computer network communications are static and inflexible, making it difficult to adapt to changing requirements and new demands, necessitating a dynamic handshake method that can be easily updated and extended without disrupting existing systems.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic handshake method is implemented by configuring devices with a list of contributors, each providing connection handshake properties, allowing for the addition of new contributors and handlers, enabling flexible protocol negotiation and adaptation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If handshake protocols are made static and standardized, then communication reliability is improved, but adaptability to changing requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The handshake protocol is segmented into multiple independent contributors, each handling specific connection properties. This allows the protocol to be composed of discrete, interchangeable units that can be selectively included or excluded based on requirements, resolving the contradiction between reliability (through standardized contributor interfaces) and adaptability (through flexible composition).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic handshake by allowing contributors to be added, removed, or modified at runtime without changing the underlying protocol structure. The contributor list can be dynamically configured to include different combinations of connection properties, enabling the system to adapt to changing requirements while maintaining protocol stability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If handshake protocol is updated to meet new requirements, then adaptability is improved, but system complexity and deployment difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the protocol into independent contributors, updates can be made by adding or modifying individual contributors rather than rewriting the entire protocol. Each contributor is a self-contained unit with a standardized interface, reducing the complexity of protocol updates and deployment.
Solution Approach 2:
The contributor framework provides universal interfaces that allow different contributors to serve multiple functions. A single contributor can handle multiple connection properties, and the same contributor structure can be reused across different protocol versions, reducing overall system complexity despite increased adaptability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If handshake protocol is made flexible and dynamic, then adaptability to new requirements is improved, but protocol stability and compatibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves dynamic flexibility through a configurable contributor list while maintaining stability through standardized contributor interfaces. The underlying protocol structure remains stable, but the composition of contributors can be dynamically adjusted to meet new requirements without compromising protocol stability or compatibility.

AI summary
In order to enable a dynamic handshake procedure, a device may be configured with a list of handshake contributors. Contributors with connection handshake properties may be added to the contributor list. To perform handshake, the contributor list is processed to extract the connection handshake properties of each contributor to the handshake. Handlers for handling the connection handshake properties may also be dynamically added and invoked when a handshake is received.
