Information Processing System Module Activation Sequencing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing systems face delays in module activation due to integrity check failures, which can cause time-sensitive modules to miss their execution deadlines, leading to incomplete processes.
Innovation Solution
The system classifies modules into first and second categories based on time requirements, where first modules must complete processes within a time limit and second modules do not, enabling efficient integrity checks and activation sequencing to ensure timely completion of critical processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If integrity check is performed on all modules before activation, then system reliability is improved, but activation time increases causing time-sensitive modules to miss deadlines
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments modules into two categories: time-sensitive modules (requiring integrity check before activation) and non-time-sensitive modules (integrity check after activation). This segmentation allows the system to perform integrity checks on all modules while ensuring time-sensitive modules meet their activation deadlines, thus resolving the contradiction between complete integrity verification and timely activation.
2Loss of time
If integrity check is skipped for time-sensitive modules, then activation time is reduced, but system reliability deteriorates due to potential undetected failures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments modules into time-sensitive and non-time-sensitive categories, applying different integrity check strategies to each segment. Time-sensitive modules receive pre-activation integrity checks to ensure reliability, while non-time-sensitive modules undergo post-activation checks, thus maintaining overall system reliability without excessive activation delays.
Solution Approach 2:
For time-sensitive modules, the patent performs integrity checks as a preliminary action before activation. This ensures that critical modules are verified in advance, preventing potential failures from affecting time-critical operations while maintaining system reliability.
3Ease of operation
If all modules are activated simultaneously, then system setup is simplified, but time-sensitive processes fail to complete within deadlines
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the module activation process into sequential phases based on time sensitivity. Time-sensitive modules are activated first after pre-verification, followed by non-time-sensitive modules. This segmented approach maintains operational simplicity while ensuring time-critical processes complete within their deadlines.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary classification and verification of time-sensitive modules before their activation. This preliminary action ensures that critical modules are ready for immediate execution, while non-critical modules are activated afterward, maintaining simple overall activation流程和 meeting time deadlines.
