Edge Node Batch Registration and Remote Application Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the Internet of Things, edge nodes face a cumbersome and time-consuming registration process on the cloud, requiring individual registration and software installation, which can be inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A method where edge nodes of the same type are grouped and registered in batches, with attribute information used to generate registration requests, and a remote control module installs applications on each node using an authentication certificate and installation package, simplifying the process and reducing registration time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If edge nodes register and install software individually on the cloud, then each node can be managed separately, but the registration process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual registration operations into a single batch registration operation. Edge nodes of the same type are grouped together and registered simultaneously through one registration request, rather than requiring separate registration processes for each node. This combining approach directly resolves the contradiction by improving registration efficiency while reducing the total time required.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-grouping edge nodes of the same type before registration. The system prepares registration request information in advance that includes attributes and node counts for multiple edge nodes, so that when registration is initiated, all nodes are already organized and ready for batch processing. This preliminary organization enables efficient batch registration and reduces the time needed during the actual registration process.
2Loss of time
If edge nodes are grouped by attribute information for batch registration, then registration time is reduced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating different registration approaches for different groups of edge nodes. Edge nodes are classified according to their attribute information, and each group is registered using registration request information tailored to that specific group's characteristics. This localized approach allows batch processing to reduce time while maintaining manageable system complexity through organized classification rather than uniform handling.
3Ease of operation
If remote control module is used to install applications on second edge node, then manual installation steps are eliminated, but security requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of authentication certificates and authorized remote control modules. The first edge node is granted authorized control over the second edge node through proper authentication, and this authorized control is used to remotely install applications. This intermediary approach eliminates the need for manual installation operations while maintaining security through authenticated authorization, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and security requirements.

AI summary
An embodiment of the present application discloses an information processing method, device and apparatus, a medium, and a program. The information processing method is applicable to a first edge node, and comprises: acquiring attribute information of the first edge node and the number of nodes of a node group to which the first edge node belongs, and generating registration request information on the basis of the attribute information and the number of nodes, wherein the node group comprises the first edge node and a second edge node having the same attribute information; sending the registration request information to a management platform; receiving an authentication certificate and a first installation package sent by the management platform and corresponding to the registration request information, and installing a first application on the basis of the authentication certificate and the first installation package; and controlling, by means of a remote control module in the first application, the second edge node to install the first application. The embodiment of the present application can simplify registration processes in the cloud for edge nodes of the same type.
