Solution Overview

Problem

Existing solutions for managing instance resources in IoT environments lack efficient tracking and access control mechanisms, leading to inefficiencies in accessing and managing instance resources, particularly in scenarios where only newly created or earliest created instances are tracked.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for operating instance resources that involve receiving an operation request, acquiring an instance resource based on instance arranging properties such as sorting or identifying properties, and executing operations on these resources, while also implementing access control policies to enhance access management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If instance resources are managed without instance arranging property, then the management system is simpler, but the tracking efficiency and access control capability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetracking efficiencyVSAvoidmanagement system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining instance arranging properties (such as sorting rules and identifying properties) in the resource management system before instance resources are created. This allows the system to automatically track and manage instances based on pre-established criteria, improving tracking efficiency without requiring complex real-time processing. The instance arranging property is configured in advance to guide subsequent resource management operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service by enabling instance resources to carry their own identifying properties and sorting attributes that automatically enable tracking and access control. Each instance resource inherently possesses the necessary identification markers and arrangement properties, allowing the system to manage instances through their self-contained attributes rather than requiring external tracking mechanisms for each resource.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If instance arranging property is implemented, then access control capability is improved, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess control capabilityVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing instance arranging properties at the individual instance resource level rather than requiring global management rules. Each instance resource has its own identifying properties and sorting attributes that locally enable access control. This allows fine-grained access control capabilities while keeping the overall system operation relatively simple, as each instance independently carries its own management attributes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If instance resources are sequenced according to instance sorting property, then access efficiency is improved, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by performing sequencing operations based on instance sorting properties in advance, before access requests are made. Instance resources are pre-arranged and indexed according to their sorting properties, so that when access is needed, the system can quickly locate resources without performing time-consuming sorting operations at access time. This preliminary arrangement significantly improves access efficiency while minimizing processing time overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
