Family Cloud Hub Data Sharing via Hierarchical Nesting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cloud computing systems face limitations in efficiently sharing data between users, particularly in scenarios where terminals use other cloud services or content, necessitating an improved method for data sharing and access management within the cloud computing environment.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves a cloud computing system that facilitates data sharing by establishing a 'family cloud' structure, where a public personal cloud system manages access and authentication for user equipment, enabling seamless data access and sharing between main and family cloud hubs through a hierarchical cloud service structure, utilizing Certificate Authorities for security key generation and distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional cloud computing system structure is used, then cloud service provision is possible, but data sharing between users is limited and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The cloud system is segmented into multiple independent cloud hubs, each capable of autonomous operation and data management. Users can join different cloud hubs (main cloud hub and family cloud hubs) to form a distributed network, enabling flexible data sharing without requiring a monolithic centralized structure.
Solution Approach 2:
Family cloud hubs are nested within the main cloud hub structure, forming a hierarchical cloud system. The main cloud hub contains multiple family cloud hubs, each with its own data and services, while maintaining unified authentication and management through the main hub, enabling efficient data sharing across nested levels.
2Reliability
If centralized cloud access control is implemented, then security is maintained, but access efficiency between multiple users decreases
Solution Approach 1:
Authentication credentials and access rights are preliminarily established during user registration and cloud hub joining processes. The main cloud hub pre-configures family cloud hubs with appropriate access permissions, enabling efficient data sharing without requiring real-time authentication for each access request, thus maintaining security while improving access efficiency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple independent cloud services are used, then service variety is increased, but data sharing between services becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The main cloud hub serves as a universal platform that can host multiple family cloud hubs with different services and data types. The unified authentication mechanism and standardized data access protocols enable seamless data sharing across diverse cloud services, making the system multi-functional while maintaining ease of operation.

AI summary
A method and an apparatus for effective data sharing between users in a cloud computing system are provided. The cloud computing system includes a first cloud hub and a User Equipment (UE). The first cloud hub provides a cloud service to a UE connected by a public cloud access and provides a cloud service to a UE connected to a public personal cloud system installed by a service provider, and is installed by a user. The UE subscribes to the first cloud hub as a main cloud and inquires as to data stored in the first cloud hub.
