Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern computing systems face challenges in dynamically adding new devices due to strict rules, which can prevent the integration of devices without pre-existing general rules, leading to errors and limitations in device management.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for dynamically generating specific rules for new devices based on their type and the current state of the computing system, allowing for iterative rule generation and application, even if no general rule exists for the device type, enabling the addition of devices and updating system states accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If strict general rules are enforced for device addition, then system reliability is improved, but device compatibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic rule generation that adapts to each device type encountered. Instead of static general rules, the system generates specific rules on-demand based on device characteristics, allowing the system to maintain reliability through structured rule-based processing while achieving compatibility through dynamic adaptation to unknown device types.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of rules from fixed general rules to dynamically generated specific rules. By altering the rule generation approach from static to dynamic, the system maintains the reliability benefits of rule-based control while achieving compatibility with diverse device types that would otherwise be rejected by strict general rule enforcement.
2Adaptability or versatility
If device-specific rules are generated dynamically, then device compatibility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically generating specific rules for device types without requiring manual configuration or complex administrative intervention. The rule manipulation module autonomously analyzes device characteristics and creates appropriate rules, reducing operational complexity while maintaining high compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary rule generation based on device type identification before actual device integration. By pre-generating rules when a device type is first encountered or added, the system prepares the rule set in advance, avoiding complex real-time rule creation and simplifying the overall system architecture.
3Ease of operation
If general rules are applied to all devices, then ease of operation is improved, but manufacturing precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the rule application process into two levels: general rules for common device types and specific rules for device-type-specific requirements. This segmentation allows the system to maintain ease of operation through general rules while achieving precision through device-specific rule generation, combining the benefits of both approaches.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality by tailoring rules to specific device types rather than applying uniform general rules to all devices. Each device type receives appropriately customized rules generated based on its characteristics, ensuring precise rule application while maintaining operational simplicity through automated generation.

AI summary
An exemplary system may allow new devices to be added. In one embodiment, upon receiving information associated with a device event, the system generates a first rule for a device based on the information and a system state. The system determines determine an updated system state based on the first rule. The system determines whether a second rule is required for the updated system state. Upon determining that the second rule is required for the updated system state, the system generates the second rule.
