Solution Overview

Problem

Existing synchronized networks face challenges in efficiently managing data synchronization and software installation across nodes, particularly in determining packet sources and distributing information within the network, as well as ensuring that all nodes have the necessary software components for data processing and presentation.

Innovation Solution

A method where a node in a synchronized network receives packets, determines their source, and sends them to connected nodes, while also managing software installation and execution for Software Network Interfaces (SNIs) associated with triggering inputs, ensuring that all necessary software is installed and executed for data processing and presentation across the network.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a node receives packets and forwards them to connected nodes in a synchronized network, then data distribution efficiency is improved, but determining packet sources and managing software installation across nodes increases system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata distribution efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments software functionality into Software Network Interface (SNI) components that can be independently installed and executed on different nodes. This segmentation allows the network to distribute data efficiently while managing complexity through modular software units rather than monolithic systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces SNI software as an intermediary layer between the network protocol stack and application layers. This intermediary handles packet processing, source determination, and software installation management, reducing the complexity burden on individual nodes while maintaining high data distribution efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If all nodes in the synchronized network have the same data at all times, then data consistency is improved, but the time required to synchronize software installation across all nodes increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata consistencyVSAvoidsynchronization time
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-packaging software components and installation instructions into packets that can be distributed ahead of time. When a node needs software functionality, the installation can proceed immediately without waiting for full synchronization, reducing synchronization time while maintaining data consistency through the SNI framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic software installation where nodes can independently install SNIs based on their specific needs and received packets, rather than requiring all nodes to synchronize every software change. This dynamic approach maintains data consistency for critical network information while allowing flexible, time-efficient software updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If software is manually installed on each node for data processing and presentation, then software compatibility is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesoftware compatibilityVSAvoidease of installation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by enabling nodes to automatically receive, install, and execute SNI software components through packet reception and automated installation processes. This eliminates manual installation requirements while maintaining compatibility through standardized SNI interfaces, significantly improving ease of operation without sacrificing reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The SNI software provides universal functionality across different nodes through standardized interfaces and protocols. A single SNI package can be distributed to multiple nodes and will function consistently across the network, providing both compatibility and ease of operation through a universal installation mechanism that works across diverse hardware platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Methods and systems are provided related to synchronized networks. A synchronized network can include a node and additional nodes. The node can receive a packet including information. The node can determine whether the packet is from the synchronized network. After determining that the packet is from the synchronized network, the node can: send the packet to at least one of the additional nodes, determine whether a synchronized network interface (SNI) is on the node and is associated with the packet, where the SNI includes software executable on the node. After determining that the SNI is on the node and is associated with the packet, the node can generate a view of data in the synchronized network by: determining a user interface (UI) layout associated with the SNI, generating the view based on the UI layout and on the information using the SNI, and provide the view.
