Local Mashup Service Parameter Caching for Network Independence
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Service providers and device manufacturers face challenges in enabling users and devices to store and utilize local mashup services effectively due to limitations in network availability and connectivity, which hinder the coordination and utilization of nearby devices for tasks like entertainment and content sharing.
Innovation Solution
A system that determines and caches mashup services, trigger conditions, and actions locally, allowing devices to discover and coordinate with nearby component services without relying on network connectivity, using local caches to store and retrieve necessary information for initiating and managing mashup services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If network services are used to provide mashup services, then service coordination and availability are improved, but network dependency and latency increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring local mashup service parameters, trigger conditions, and action definitions in devices before network services are needed. This allows devices to autonomously discover, evaluate, and execute mashup services locally without waiting for network responses, thereby reducing latency and improving service availability in network-constrained environments.
2Adaptability or versatility
If cloud-based server formation is used for mashup services, then service coordination capability is improved, but network connectivity dependency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling devices to autonomously form and manage local mashup services without requiring cloud server intervention. Each device maintains local copies of service parameters, trigger conditions, and action definitions, allowing it to independently discover, evaluate, and coordinate mashup services with other nearby devices, thereby reducing dependency on network connectivity while maintaining service coordination capability.
3Reliability
If local caching of mashup service parameters is implemented, then network independence is improved, but device storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by caching only the essential parameters, trigger conditions, and action definitions needed for local mashup service operation rather than storing complete service implementations. This selective caching approach enables network independence for critical functions while minimizing storage requirements on devices.
Data Source
AI summary
An approach is provided for caching parameters of local mashup services. One or more devices and/or service providers determine one or more mashup services, one or more trigger conditions associated with the one or more mashup services, and/or one or more actions associated with the one or more mashup services. Further, the one or more devices cache the one or more mashup services, the one or more trigger conditions, and/or the one or more actions at one or more local caches. Furthermore, the one or more devices and/or service providers determine one or more results of one or more queries for the one or more mashup services, the one or more trigger conditions, and/or the one or more actions from the one or more local caches.
