IoT Management Apparatus Mode Switching for Terminal Load Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing IoT management systems face inefficiencies and reliability issues as the number of IoT terminals increases, leading to increased loading and processing demands on the management platform, which can result in reduced system reliability and inefficient management.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that dynamically switch between two operation modes (S01 and S02) to manage IoT terminals, where the management apparatus either directly manages all terminals or authorizes controlling terminals to manage data acquisition terminals, optimizing load distribution and reducing control delays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the management apparatus directly manages all controlling terminals and data acquisition terminals, then centralized control and management are achieved, but the loading and processing demands on the management platform increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the management function into two levels: the management apparatus manages controlling terminals, while authorized controlling terminals manage data acquisition terminals. This segmentation reduces the burden on the management apparatus and distributes system complexity across multiple nodes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces controlling terminals as intermediary nodes between the management apparatus and data acquisition terminals. These intermediaries handle local management tasks, reducing direct communication overhead and processing demands on the central management platform.
2Ease of operation
If the management apparatus directly manages all terminals, then unified management is achieved, but control delays increase as the number of terminals grows
Solution Approach 1:
The management hierarchy is segmented into multiple levels, allowing control commands to be processed and executed locally at the controlling terminal level, thereby reducing the time required for centralized processing and response.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a hierarchical dimension to the management structure, transitioning from a flat one-to-many management model to a multi-level hierarchical model, which enables parallel processing and reduces control delays.
3Reliability
If the management apparatus directly manages all data acquisition terminals, then direct control is achieved, but the number of connections and processing demands increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the direct management relationship by introducing controlling terminals as intermediate management nodes, which reduces the number of direct connections required to the management apparatus while maintaining effective control through the hierarchical structure.
Solution Approach 2:
Controlling terminals serve as mediators that relay management commands and data between the management apparatus and data acquisition terminals, reducing the processing burden on the management apparatus while maintaining control reliability through the intermediary layer.
