Extended Security System Resource Sharing via Primary Device Selection

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional security systems lack data interaction between processing devices, leading to independent operation and limited resource sharing, which restricts processing capacity and efficiency.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method where a primary security processing device selects either itself or a secondary device to process external packets, enabling data interaction and resource sharing between devices, thereby enhancing the extended security system's performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If security processing devices are extended by simply placing multiple devices together without data interaction, then the system can handle more security services, but the processing capability is limited to the capacity of a single device and resource sharing cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesecurity service capacityVSAvoidprocessing capability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the security processing system into multiple independent security processing devices, each capable of handling security services. By segmenting the system into discrete units that can operate independently yet communicate through a shared database, the system achieves both versatility in handling different security services and improved processing capability through distributed operation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a common database as an intermediary mechanism that enables data interaction between multiple security processing devices. This mediator allows devices to share security data, packet information, and processing states, thereby achieving resource sharing and cooperative processing while maintaining device independence.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If each security processing device operates independently without data interaction, then device simplicity is maintained, but resource sharing and cooperation processing cannot be implemented

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedevice independenceVSAvoidprocessing efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a common database as an intermediary mechanism that enables data interaction between multiple security processing devices. This mediator allows devices to share security data, packet information, and processing states, thereby achieving resource sharing and cooperative processing while maintaining device independence.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a new dimension of interaction by introducing a shared database layer between independent security processing devices. This creates a two-layer architecture where devices remain independent at the processing level but connect through the database dimension, enabling cooperation without increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Quantity of substance

If multiple security processing devices are used without coordination, then system capacity increases, but processing capability is limited by single-device capacity

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenumber of security devicesVSAvoidoverall processing capability

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the security processing system into multiple independent security processing devices, each capable of handling security services. By segmenting the system into discrete units that can operate independently yet communicate through a shared database, the system achieves both versatility in handling different security services and improved processing capability through distributed operation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple security processing devices into a coordinated system through their shared interaction with a common database. While devices remain physically separate, they are functionally combined through the database, enabling the system to achieve processing capabilities greater than any single device could provide alone.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for using an extended security system, including: configuring one of security processing devices in the extended security system as a primary security processing device and configuring other security processing devices as at least one secondary security processing device connected with the primary security processing device; the method further includes: when the extended security system receives an external packet, selecting, by the primary security processing device, a security processing device to process the received external packet, the selected security processing device being the primary security processing device or the secondary security processing device. The embodiments of the present invention also disclose an extended security system and a primary security processing device and secondary security processing devices. By data interaction between the security processing devices, resource sharing between the security processing devices can be implemented, thereby improving the performance of the extended security system.
