Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional network technologies are inadequate in accommodating diverse service types and user requirements in hyper-network environments, failing to provide flexible network construction and management, especially in terms of trust, security, and real-time services, and lack the ability to dynamically control network connections and capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for defining and controlling network capabilities (NC) based on service capabilities (SC) required by application services, involving a matching system that processes policy and rule units to extract and combine SC units, match them with NC units, and manage network operations through an MMMP networking management system, including an MMMP agent and management server for controlling wired and wireless terminals and IoT devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional network technology is used with predetermined network capability, then network construction is simplified, but the system cannot accommodate various service types and user requirements flexibly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice type accommodationVSAvoidnetwork construction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments network capability into discrete, configurable units that can be selectively combined to meet different service requirements. This allows the network to be constructed from modular components rather than requiring complete redesign for each service type, thus improving adaptability while controlling complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic network capability configuration that allows the network to adapt its parameters in real-time based on service requirements and user preferences. This dynamic adjustment mechanism enables the system to accommodate various service types without requiring complex static configurations for each scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If network capability is predetermined and fixed, then network management is simplified, but real-time service control and user-specific network level determination are impossible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork control flexibilityVSAvoidautomatic network configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms that allow the network system to monitor service performance and user requirements, then automatically adjust network capability parameters in real-time. This feedback loop enables automated configuration while maintaining operational flexibility, as the system self-adjusts based on monitored conditions rather than requiring manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables the network system to automatically configure and adjust its own capabilities based on service requirements and user preferences without external intervention. This self-service mechanism reduces the need for manual network management while maintaining high levels of control flexibility through automated decision-making algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If conventional network construction methods are used, then initial deployment is straightforward, but service introduction time and response to user requirements cannot be optimized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice introduction speedVSAvoidnetwork configuration time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent prepares network capability configurations in advance as reusable templates or profiles that can be quickly deployed when services are introduced. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for time-consuming custom configurations for each new service, thus accelerating service introduction while reducing configuration time through pre-defined parameter sets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
