Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If network services are constructed using existing technologies (Patent Literatures 1-3), then network services can be deployed with basic functionality, but the system cannot flexibly construct network services that satisfy diverse needs and requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments network services into functional units that can be independently defined, constructed, and managed. Each functional unit represents a discrete component with specific capabilities, allowing the system to assemble diverse network services from standardized building blocks. This segmentation enables flexible construction while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal framework where a single service construction system can handle multiple types of network services through standardized interfaces and bundle files. The system provides multi-functionality by supporting various service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and deployment scenarios through a common architecture, eliminating the need for separate systems for each service type.
2Ease of operation
If purchasers want to easily specify service requirements without detailed implementation knowledge, then ease of operation improves, but the system loses the ability to handle complex service configurations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces bundle files as an intermediary between purchasers and the service construction system. These bundle files encapsulate complex service configurations in a standardized, easy-to-specify format. Purchasers can reference bundle files without needing to understand the underlying implementation details, while the system automatically processes these files to construct the appropriate functional unit groups, thus bridging the gap between simplicity and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs preliminary action by pre-defining functional units and their relationships in bundle files before the actual service construction process. This allows purchasers to specify requirements by selecting from pre-configured options rather than configuring everything from scratch. The system has already performed the complex work of defining valid configurations, so purchasers only need to make high-level selections.
Data Source
AI summary
A network operating system receives a bundle file transmitted from a vendor terminal of a vendor providing a network service, the bundle file including first data defining a functional unit group that achieves the network service and second data defining a monitoring policy for the network service. The NOS constructs the functional unit group based on the first data of the bundle file when the network service is purchased by a purchaser. The NOS executes a monitoring process on the functional unit group based on information on the functional unit group to be constructed and the second data of the bundle file.
