Information Processing System Load Management via Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing information processing systems face challenges in ensuring secure communication among user terminals when excessive load or faults occur in the information processing unit, leading to potential communication failures.
Innovation Solution
The system includes a control mechanism that acquires the operating state of the information processing unit and instructs another unit to perform communication processing, thereby managing load and fault conditions to maintain communication integrity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a single information processing unit handles all communication processing, then the system structure is simple, but communication fails when excessive load or faults occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the information processing function into multiple independent information processing units. Each unit can independently handle communication processing, so when one unit experiences excessive load or faults, other units can continue to provide services, thereby improving communication reliability while maintaining a relatively simple system structure through functional distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a load management mechanism that dynamically changes the operational parameters of information processing units based on their current state. When a unit's load exceeds a threshold or a fault is detected, the system changes its operational status from active to inactive, and redirects traffic to other units, thus maintaining reliable communication while adapting to changing system conditions.
2Reliability
If load management is implemented to prevent excessive load, then communication reliability improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where information processing units report their operational state (load level, fault status) to the system. Based on this feedback, the load management mechanism dynamically adjusts the distribution of communication processing tasks, redirecting load away from overloaded or faulty units to healthy units, thereby maintaining communication reliability with a relatively simple control approach.
Solution Approach 2:
The load management mechanism operates autonomously by monitoring the operational state of information processing units and automatically redistributing communication processing tasks based on current system conditions. This self-service approach improves communication reliability without requiring complex external control, as the system automatically adapts to load changes and faults.
