Dynamic Management Command Routing for Node Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current device management systems lack versatility in managing application and device-specific configuration parameters, limiting their ability to perform complex operations within management structures.
Innovation Solution
A method is introduced to define and initiate local operations within a management structure, allowing a managing device to control and modify nodes indirectly, enabling centralized command management and flexible operation execution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If device management systems use standardized management objects and fixed management structures, then system reliability and ease of operation are improved, but adaptability and versatility are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables dynamic creation of management objects and modification of management structures at runtime. The system transitions from fixed standardized objects to dynamically creatable objects with flexible properties, allowing the management structure to adapt to different device types and management needs while maintaining operational reliability through structured command protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal management framework where a single management system can handle multiple device types, management scenarios, and operation kinds. The system provides multi-functionality by enabling creation of custom management objects, support for various operation types (read, write, execute, delete), and flexible command structures that can accommodate diverse management requirements beyond standardized objects.
2Adaptability or versatility
If device management systems implement complex management operations directly on the server, then management capability is improved, but system complexity and communication overhead are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments management operations into local operations executed on the managed device and coordination functions executed on the management server. Complex operations are divided into command transmission (server) and operation execution (device), reducing server complexity while maintaining full management capability. The management structure is segmented into nodes and branches that can be independently managed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces command structures as intermediaries between the management server and managed device operations. Commands serve as mediators that carry operation instructions, parameters, and targets between server and device, enabling complex management operations through standardized communication protocols without requiring complex server-side processing logic.
3Measurement precision
If device management systems require detailed user input for each management operation, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation and productivity are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining management object structures, operation types, and command formats. The system prepares management frameworks, object templates, and command structures in advance, allowing operations to be executed efficiently without requiring detailed user input for each operation. Users benefit from pre-configured management structures that guide operations while maintaining precision through structured command parameters.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for arranging local operations in a management system, the method comprising: defining a management command addressed to a first node in a management structure of the managed device such that it comprises a command for performing a local operation for a second node of the management structure in the managed device, transmitting the management command to the managed device, defining at least one required local operation on the basis of the received management command, and initiating the defined local operation.
