Dynamic Instance Hosting for IoT Virtual Objects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current IoT technologies face challenges in managing and integrating heterogeneous devices and services, as they are individually managed, making it difficult to provide unified control and data interaction, leading to limited functionality and potential privacy issues.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for dynamically re-directing a hosting service environment of a virtual object in response to IoT device movement, using instance hosting functions to discover and verify IoT devices, exchange instance information, and manage resources, enabling interaction and fusion of services across IoT, WoT, and WoO environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If devices are individually managed with separate access paths, then each device can be controlled independently, but user convenience deteriorates as multiple access paths are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a unified access path that acts as an intermediary, allowing users to access and control multiple devices through a single interface. This mediator consolidates the control of heterogeneous devices without eliminating their individual management capabilities, thus maintaining device independence while improving user convenience
2Adaptability or versatility
If data is individually managed for each device, then device-specific control is maintained, but data integration and organic interaction deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal data management approach where a single system can handle multiple types of device data through standardized interfaces. This allows data from heterogeneous devices to be integrated and interact organically while preserving device-specific control mechanisms, reducing the complexity of data integration
3Adaptability or versatility
If web servers are embedded in individual devices, then device autonomy is improved, but service integration and fusion deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a intermediary system that enables communication and integration between devices with embedded web servers. This mediator allows autonomous devices to interact and share services without compromising their independence, facilitating service fusion while maintaining device autonomy

AI summary
Disclosed is a method and system for re-directing a dynamic instance hosting service of a virtual object. The dynamic instance hosting service re-directing system may include a spatial information controller configured to determine whether an instance of an Internet of Things (IoT) device is movable based on spatial information of the IoT device using an instance hosting function; and an instance resource controller configured to manage available instance resources associated with the IoT device and an external service for an instance movement of the IoT device.
