IoT Resource Pooling via Delegated Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current IoT devices are designed independently with all necessary resources, leading to high costs and complexity due to over-provisioning for individual tasks.
Innovation Solution
A method for pooling resources between connected objects in a local network, allowing data processing operations to be delegated between objects through a management unit, thereby sharing computing, storage, and communication resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each connected object is equipped with all necessary resources for independent operation, then reliability and functionality are improved, but manufacturing cost and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges resources across multiple connected objects by creating a virtual resource pool accessible through the local network. Instead of each device having dedicated resources, objects share computing power, storage, and communication resources through standardized interfaces, reducing individual device complexity while maintaining overall system functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universal resource interfaces that allow any connected object to access and utilize resources from other objects in the network. A single object can serve multiple functions by delegating tasks to appropriate network resources, making each device more versatile without requiring it to have all possible resources locally.
2Ease of operation
If computing resources are sized individually for each connected object, then operational autonomy is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a resource management intermediary layer that coordinates resource allocation and access across the network. This mediator enables operational autonomy by providing standardized access protocols while allowing resource sharing, thus reducing manufacturing costs without sacrificing ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where connected objects can adaptively access and release resources based on current operational needs. This dynamic approach maintains operational autonomy while optimizing resource utilization across the network, reducing the need for over-provisioning individual devices.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method (100) for pooling resources between interconnected objects forming a local network, said method (100) comprising at least one iteration of the following steps: - transmission (102), by one of said connected objects, called the delegator, to a management unit connected to said connected objects within said local network, of a request to delegate a data processing operation, called the delegated operation; and - assignment (104), by said management unit, of the execution of said delegated operation to another of said connected objects, called the delegate. It also relates to a system and a device implementing such a method.
