Master Device Centralized Slot Interface Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional networking systems restrict the use of functions among main devices connected via a network due to separate resource management, requiring function alteration and limiting access to all resources, leading to independent operation and potential contradictions in resource states.
Innovation Solution
A master main device integrates resource management and call control across all connected devices, treating other devices' resources as its own, allowing seamless access and management without altering functions or considering network compatibility, and managing slots centrally to facilitate unified resource handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If each main device manages resources separately, then device independence is maintained, but function access between devices is restricted and requires function alteration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges resource management functions by having one main device (master device) centrally manage resources across all main devices in the network. The master device collects resource information from slave devices and manages slot interfaces uniformly, eliminating the need for each device to independently manage resources and altering functions for network compliance.
Solution Approach 2:
The master device acts as an intermediary between slave devices and the network. It receives resource information from slave devices, processes it through slot interface management, and provides unified access to network functions. This intermediary approach allows slave devices to maintain their original functions while gaining network access through the master device's centralized management.
2Reliability
If main devices operate independently, then device autonomy is preserved, but resource state contradictions occur and network coordination is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The master device continuously collects resource information from slave devices through slot interfaces and maintains updated resource state information. This feedback mechanism ensures that the master device has accurate, real-time knowledge of resource states across all devices, preventing contradictions and enabling reliable network coordination without requiring complex inter-device communication protocols.
3Adaptability or versatility
If separate slot management is used, then device independence is maintained, but access to other devices' resources is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The master device implements universal slot interface management that applies to all main devices in the network. It manages slot interfaces from multiple devices through a unified mechanism, allowing any device to access resources from any other device through the same standardized interface. This universal approach expands resource access scope while avoiding the complexity of device-specific management mechanisms.

AI summary
A slot interface access device including a slot management module; a slot control module; and a physical slot to management slot contrast table, the slot management module, the slot control module, and the physical slot to management slot contrast table being provided between an input and output control module and a slot interface lower than the input and output control module. The input and output control module accesses the slot interface using virtual slot identification information. The slot management module converts the virtual slot identification information into physical slot identification information while referring to the physical slot to management slot contrast table, and accesses the slot control module corresponding to the physical slot identification information obtained by conversion, thereby realizing a physical access of the input and output control module to the slot interface.
