Encryption Machine Upgrade Controller Data Migration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The process of upgrading encryption machines is complex and prone to errors, leading to potential interruptions in user services.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a controller that determines which encryption machine to upgrade, transfers data from the first encryption machine to a second, and sends upgrade commands to the first encryption machine, while also managing data backups and imports, and migrating service system requests to ensure seamless operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual upgrade operation is performed by connecting terminal device to encryption machine, then upgrade can be completed, but the operation becomes extremely complicated and prone to errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an upgrade server as an intermediary component between the encryption machine and the terminal device. The upgrade server receives upgrade requests, manages the upgrade process, and coordinates data backup and migration operations, thereby simplifying the overall upgrade process and reducing operational complexity while improving reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The upgrade process is segmented into distinct phases: data backup phase, upgrade execution phase, and data migration phase. Each phase is independently managed with specific commands (backup command, upgrade command, migration command), making the complex upgrade process more controllable and less error-prone
2Reliability
If manual upgrade operation is performed, then upgrade can be completed, but user service may be interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs data backup operations before the actual upgrade process. The backup data is stored and ready for migration, ensuring that if any issue occurs during upgrade, service can be restored without interruption. This preliminary preparation maintains service continuity while simplifying the upgrade operation
Solution Approach 2:
The upgrade server manages the entire upgrade process continuously, coordinating backup, upgrade, and migration operations without requiring manual intervention at each step. This automated continuous process ensures service continuity by preventing interruptions that would occur with manual operations

AI summary
A method of upgrading encryption machine, including: a controller for managing upgrading of encryption machine determines a first encryption machine to be upgraded; the controller transfers the data of the first encryption machine to a second encryption machine; and the controller sends an upgrade command for instructing the first encryption machine to conduct the upgrade to the first encryption machine. The above method solves the problem that in the process of upgrading the encryption machine in the conventional techniques, the operation is extremely complicated, which is easy to cause an operation error and interruption of user service.
