Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies fail to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date license management system for efficient utilization and cost savings in integrated circuit chip design.
Innovation Solution
A mechanism for creating a license information base is provided by obtaining and integrating license information from multiple servers through a license management module, enabling comprehensive and real-time license usage tracking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If license information is obtained from multiple license servers manually, then the comprehensiveness of license information increases, but the time consumption and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple license server information sources into a single unified license information base. The system automatically collects license information from multiple license servers and integrates it into one comprehensive database, eliminating the need for manual information gathering from each server separately. This resolving the contradiction by providing comprehensive information without increasing time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The license information base performs self-service by automatically updating and maintaining itself. The system autonomously collects license information from multiple license servers, processes it, and updates the information base without requiring manual intervention. This self-updating mechanism ensures comprehensive information is always available while minimizing time and operational effort.
2Measurement precision
If license information is collected in real-time from multiple servers, then the accuracy and up-to-date status of license information improves, but the system complexity and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a license information base as an intermediary between multiple license servers and the user system. This intermediary component centralizes the complexity of real-time information collection and processing, while presenting a simplified interface to users. The license information base acts as a mediator that handles all interactions with multiple servers, reducing system complexity while maintaining real-time accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The license information base serves multiple functions: it collects information from multiple license servers, stores and processes the data, updates the information base, and provides query services. By consolidating these multiple functions into a single universal component, the system achieves real-time accurate information without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
3Ease of operation
If a centralized license information base is created, then the ease of license usage tracking improves, but the initial setup and maintenance complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by automatically collecting and organizing license information from multiple servers before users need to query it. The system proactively builds and maintains the license information base in advance, so when users need license information, it is already prepared and readily available. This eliminates the need for users to perform complex setup or maintenance operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The license information base is self-maintaining, automatically updating itself with new license information from servers without requiring manual intervention. The system performs self-service operations including information collection, validation, processing, and storage, which simplifies the user experience while managing the inherent complexity internally.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and apparatus for creating a license information base, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product. The method includes sending a license query request to a license management module, wherein the license query request is used for obtaining license information on at least one license server. The method includes receiving the license information from the license management module, wherein the license information is retrieved by the license management module from the at least one license server. The method further includes creating a license information base based on the received license information. In this way, license information from one or more license servers is obtained through the license management module, and related license information is integrated, to create a more comprehensive information base for subsequent processing.
