Solution Overview

Problem

Current M2M platforms are limited to providing one-to-one services, restricting the application scope for mobile users as they cannot process multiple applications simultaneously.

Innovation Solution

A method and platform that receive service requests, analyze capacity requirements, select appropriate applications from a queue based on capacity, and forward requests to these applications, using load balancing and failover mechanisms to ensure continuous service.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If current M2M platforms provide one-to-one services, then service management is simple, but application scope is restricted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication scopeVSAvoidplatform complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The M2M platform is designed to provide multi-functional service processing capabilities, enabling a single platform to handle multiple applications and service types simultaneously. The platform can dynamically select and route service requests to appropriate applications based on capacity requirements, making the platform universal rather than dedicated to single services.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The service processing function is segmented into distinct modules: service request reception, capacity analysis, application selection, and response feedback. This segmentation allows the platform to independently manage different service types and applications without interference, resolving the contradiction between versatility and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple applications are provided to a terminal, then service variety increases, but service management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice varietyVSAvoidservice management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The platform implements automated self-service mechanisms for service management. The capacity analysis module automatically evaluates service request requirements, and the application selection module autonomously selects appropriate applications without manual intervention. This self-service approach maintains ease of operation while enabling diverse service variety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The platform incorporates feedback mechanisms where service request outcomes are analyzed and used to optimize future application selections. The system learns from service patterns and capacity utilization, automatically adjusting service management strategies to maintain simplicity while supporting multiple applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If application selection is based on capacity requirements, then service matching accuracy improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice matching accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The platform performs preliminary actions by pre-analyzing and caching capacity information for available applications. When service requests arrive, the system retrieves pre-computed capacity data rather than analyzing from scratch, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining accurate service matching based on capacity requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
