M2M Group Child Resource Creation with Failure Recovery

The patent segments the child resource creation process into individual member-level operations rather than a single bulk operation. Each group member processes the creation request independently, and the group manager coordinates these segmented operations. This allows simultaneous creation across members while enabling independent error handling for each segment, thus maintaining efficiency while reducing complexity of failure management.

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where each group member reports the status of child resource creation back to the group manager. The group manager receives these feedback messages and uses them to determine subsequent actions, such as re-creating resources in members where creation failed. This feedback loop enables automated recovery from failures without manual intervention, maintaining high efficiency while managing complexity through structured information flow.

The patent applies local quality by allowing each group member to have child resources with the same name locally, while the group manager maintains a global view and coordination. The naming consistency is enforced locally at each member level rather than requiring unique global names, which simplifies local resource management while the group manager handles any conflicts that arise at the group level.

The group manager acts as an intermediary that coordinates child resource creation across group members. When duplicate names are involved, the group manager receives creation requests, distributes them to appropriate members, and resolves any conflicts that arise. This intermediary role enables consistent naming conventions to be maintained across the group while managing complexity centrally rather than at each member level.
