Solution Overview

Problem

In computer networks, data communication failures due to insufficient memory resources in network devices lead to bottlenecks, reducing throughput and performance, and existing systems lack effective dynamic rerouting mechanisms to manage such issues.

Innovation Solution

A network error correction device generates a computer network map with error correction instructions to dynamically reroute data traffic when issues are detected, identifying affected devices and applying instructions to suspend data traffic to the affected device and reroute it to alternative devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data traffic is continuously sent to network devices with insufficient memory resources, then data throughput is maintained, but system reliability deteriorates due to communication failures and bottlenecks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata communication reliabilityVSAvoiddata throughput
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by generating a network map and identifying alternative routing paths before communication failures occur. When memory resources become insufficient, the system can immediately redirect data traffic through pre-identified alternative paths, maintaining both reliability and throughput without waiting for failure detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The error correction device acts as an intermediary between network devices, monitoring memory resource levels and mediating data traffic routing. When a network device experiences insufficient memory resources, the intermediary redirects traffic through alternative devices, preventing communication failures while maintaining data flow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If dynamic rerouting mechanisms are implemented to avoid network devices with resource issues, then system reliability improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata communication reliabilityVSAvoidnetwork management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically generating network maps, identifying alternative routing paths, and executing traffic redirection without human intervention. The error correction device autonomously monitors network device status and applies error correction instructions, reducing the need for complex manual network management while improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes routing parameters dynamically based on network device status. When memory resources become insufficient, the error correction device modifies traffic flow parameters by redirecting data through alternative devices, achieving reliable communication without requiring complex structural changes to the network architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If network devices allocate more memory resources to handle increased data traffic, then data throughput is improved, but loss of substance increases due to memory resource consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata throughputVSAvoidmemory resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments data traffic routing by identifying multiple alternative network devices and paths. Instead of concentrating all data flow through a single device with high memory requirements, traffic is distributed across multiple devices, reducing memory resource consumption at any single point while maintaining overall throughput.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamic routing that adapts to changing memory resource conditions. When a network device's memory resources are consumed, the system dynamically redirects traffic to alternative devices, preventing resource exhaustion and maintaining throughput without requiring excessive memory allocation at any single device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
