Solution Overview

Problem

Current grouping processing methods are inflexible and inefficient in dynamically adapting to changes in the number of users within groups, leading to suboptimal resource scheduling and server utilization.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that monitor user access to sub-groups and adjust resource allocation based on preset thresholds, allowing for the dynamic addition or merging of sub-groups to optimize resource scheduling, where each physical resource equipment can serve multiple sub-groups and each sub-group can be abstract, enabling flexible resource distribution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If physical resource equipment serves multiple sub-groups, then resource utilization is improved, but group management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidgroup management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments groups into sub-groups that can be independently managed and assigned to physical resource equipment. Each sub-group represents a manageable unit of users, allowing the system to handle large groups by dividing them into smaller, more controllable sub-groups that can be dynamically assigned to servers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables physical resource equipment to serve multiple sub-groups simultaneously, making servers universal resources that can be shared across different sub-groups. This multi-functionality improves resource utilization while the sub-group abstraction layer manages the complexity of serving multiple groups.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If sub-groups are dynamically adjusted based on user numbers, then adaptability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to user number changesVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic sub-group adjustment where the system automatically monitors user numbers and adjusts sub-group configurations in real-time. When user numbers change, the system dynamically adds or merges sub-groups to maintain optimal resource allocation, making the system adaptable to varying loads.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors user numbers in each sub-group and uses this information to make automatic adjustment decisions. The feedback loop compares current user numbers against thresholds and triggers sub-group creation or merging operations to maintain system balance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If user access is monitored in real-time, then resource scheduling efficiency is improved, but measurement and control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource scheduling efficiencyVSAvoiduser access monitoring complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous monitoring of user access to sub-groups, maintaining real-time awareness of user distribution across sub-groups. This continuous observation enables the system to immediately detect when thresholds are reached and trigger appropriate sub-group adjustments without interruption or delay.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables the system to automatically monitor and adjust sub-group configurations without manual intervention. The monitoring and adjustment mechanisms are self-service, where the system autonomously tracks user numbers and performs necessary sub-group operations based on predefined criteria.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
