Hub Route Selection for Virtual Group Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication methods between virtual groups struggle with inefficient data transmission due to the use of a single route for both data request and data transmission messages, leading to decreased efficiency and potential errors.
Innovation Solution
A method where a hub selects an optimal transmission route based on interface information from both the receiving and transmitting terminals, allowing for separate and adaptive routes for data request and data transmission messages, thereby maximizing efficiency and preventing errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single route is used for both data request and data transmission messages, then the communication system is simple, but data transmission efficiency decreases and errors increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication routing into two independent parts: data request message routing and data transmission message routing. The hub independently selects routes for each type of message based on interface information, allowing optimization of each routing path without constraining the other. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling complex adaptive routing for data transmission while maintaining simple request handling.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic route selection where the hub adapts routing decisions based on real-time interface information from terminals. The system dynamically adjusts which interfaces are available for use and selects optimal routes based on current network conditions, transforming a static single-route system into a dynamic multi-route system that optimizes data transmission efficiency.
2Productivity
If interface information is collected and processed by the hub, then data transmission efficiency improves, but hub processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service where terminals autonomously collect and transmit their own interface information to the hub. Each terminal independently manages its interface status and provides this information proactively, reducing the hub's processing burden compared to a centralized collection model. The hub simply receives and processes the information for route selection, distributing the information gathering task across multiple terminals.

AI summary
Provided is a communication method of a hub that selects a transmission route from the hub to a receiving terminal of a receiving virtual group based on interface information about at least one interface which is available for use by the receiving terminal and is received from the receiving terminal and interface information about at least one interface which is available for use by a transmitting terminal of a transmitting virtual group and is received from the transmitting terminal.
