Edge Server Activation via Trusted Relay Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Activating multiple edge servers in a local network is time-consuming and labor-intensive, as existing methods require individual activation through mobile phone applications or manual processes, which are inconvenient and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A method that establishes data communication between service processors of edge servers and a specified website, enabling trusted communication and obtaining activation rights to activate multiple edge servers simultaneously, using wireless or internal switch modules for connectivity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If edge servers are activated one by one using mobile phone applications or manual processes, then each server can be activated individually, but the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple edge server activations into a single batch operation. The system establishes a trusted communication chain where one edge server (the first edge server) acts as a relay to activate other edge servers (second edge servers) in the same local area network. This merging of activation operations eliminates the need to activate each server individually, significantly reducing time and labor while maintaining security through the trusted communication mechanism.
2Productivity
If edge servers are activated individually through existing methods, then activation can be performed, but the process requires multiple separate operations and is inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing a trusted communication relationship between edge servers before activation. The first edge server预先 establishes trusted communication with the activation website and then uses this trust relationship to activate second edge servers. This preliminary setup enables subsequent batch activations to proceed efficiently without repeating the entire authentication process for each server.
3Loss of time
If multiple edge servers are activated simultaneously through a relay mechanism, then activation time and labor are reduced, but the system requires establishing multiple trusted communication connections
Solution Approach 1:
The first edge server acts as an intermediary or mediator between the activation website and the second edge servers. It establishes a trusted communication chain where it receives activation information from the website and relays it to other servers. This intermediary approach simplifies the overall system architecture by creating a hierarchical activation structure rather than requiring direct connections between all components.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for activating at least a first edge server and a second edge server. The first edge server includes a first service processor, and the second edge server includes a second service processor. The method includes establishing a data communication connection between the first service processor and the second service processor, establishing a data communication connection between the first service processor and a specified website, establishing a trusted communication between the first service processor and the specified website, establishing a trusted communication between the first service processor and the second service processor, obtaining an activation right from the specified website by the first service processor, and performing the activation right to activate the first edge server and the second edge server by the first service processor.
