Solution Overview

Problem

In existing M2M communication systems, any operation on attributes, such as adding or deleting, requires re-creating the resource, lacking a solution for independent attribute operations.

Innovation Solution

An attribute operating method and device that receive a request message with operation indication, resource address, and information type, allowing for creating or deleting attributes without re-creating the resource by determining the operation type and executing it using the provided information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If attribute operations (add/delete) are performed by re-creating the resource, then the attribute can be modified, but the resource must be deleted and re-created which increases operational complexity and time loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattribute modification capabilityVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the resource management operations by introducing distinct operation types (resource creation, attribute creation, attribute deletion) that can be independently executed. Instead of requiring complete resource re-creation for attribute modifications, the system allows separate attribute-level operations, reducing operational complexity and time loss while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the existing creation operation is used to add or delete attributes, then attributes can be modified, but the resource must be re-created which increases time loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattribute operation flexibilityVSAvoidresource re-creation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by establishing separate attribute creation and deletion operations that can be performed independently of resource creation. The attribute operations are prepared and executed as distinct steps, eliminating the need to re-create the entire resource when only attribute modifications are needed, thus reducing time loss significantly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If attribute operations require resource re-creation, then attributes can be updated, but the system complexity increases due to mandatory resource deletion and re-creation steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattribute management capabilityVSAvoidoperation procedure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the operation procedures into distinct, independent steps: resource creation, attribute creation, and attribute deletion. Each operation type has its own dedicated procedure, eliminating the need for mandatory resource deletion and re-creation cycles. This segmentation reduces system complexity while maintaining full attribute management capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present document discloses an attribute operating method and device. In the above method, receiving a request message from a sending end, herein, parameter information carried in the request message includes: operating indication information, a resource address to be operated, an information type to be operated, and an information content to be operated; determining to operate on an attribute according to the operation indication information and the information type; and executing an operation corresponding to the attribute by using the resource address and the information content. On the basis of the technical solution provided by the present document, the execution of any attribute operation can be implemented without re-creating resources.
