Global ID Assignment for Decentralized Information Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Centralized cross-reference systems for sharing resource information lead to significant resource overhead, including storage space requirements, processing burdens, and high bandwidth needs to support simultaneous connections, making them inefficient for widespread information sharing.
Innovation Solution
Assigning global identification information to shared data via a remote resource, allowing other devices to locate and access the information without explicit requests, and enabling unsolicited transmissions, thus reducing the need for centralized storage and processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If centralized cross-reference systems are used to share resource information, then information accessibility is improved, but resource overhead (storage, processing, bandwidth) increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the cross-reference information from the centralized server and places it directly on client devices. Each device maintains its own local cross-reference table, eliminating the need for centralized storage and reducing server resource overhead while maintaining information accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local cross-reference tables on each client device, allowing each device to independently store and access cross-reference information locally. This distributed approach reduces centralized resource overhead while maintaining global information accessibility through local autonomy.
2Adaptability or versatility
If centralized cross-reference tables are maintained, then information sharing capability is improved, but device complexity and processing burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the centralized cross-reference system into multiple distributed local cross-reference tables, one on each client device. This segmentation distributes the processing burden across multiple devices rather than concentrating it on a single server, reducing individual device complexity while maintaining overall system capability.
Solution Approach 2:
Each client device independently maintains and manages its own local cross-reference table, performing self-service for information sharing. This eliminates the need for complex centralized management and reduces processing burden on individual devices while maintaining information sharing capability.
3Speed
If high bandwidth access is provided for centralized cross-reference, then information retrieval speed is improved, but network resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-loads and stores cross-reference information locally on each client device in advance. This preliminary action eliminates the need for frequent high-bandwidth network access during information retrieval, reducing network resource consumption while maintaining fast local access speeds.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates local copies of cross-reference information on each client device. These copies enable fast local retrieval without requiring continuous high-bandwidth network connections to the centralized server, significantly reducing network resource consumption while maintaining information retrieval speed.

AI summary
A system configured for facilitating the sharing of information between apparatuses. An apparatus may include one or more applications that, for example, upon configuration and execution (540), may yield information that may also be stored in the apparatus (542). At some point a determination may be made that stored information is to be shared with other users. In order to enable the sharing of this information, global identification information may be assigned by, and obtained from, a remote resource (544). The global identification information may be used to modify identification information corresponding to the information to be shared so that other apparatuses may locate, and/or request access to, the shared information. Further, the other apparatuses may request transmission of shared information stored in the remote resource using the global identifier, or may receive shared information from the apparatus without explicitly requesting it (550).
