Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for managing and processing operation requests across multiple devices or application entities in networked environments lack efficiency and automation, particularly in handling failures and concurrent processing.

Innovation Solution

The method involves forming and associating groups of entities, where operation requests are sent to a primary group, and if necessary, to secondary groups based on predefined relationships (backup, progressive, or parallel) to ensure successful execution and improve management efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If operation requests are sent only to a single group for processing, then the processing flow is simple, but the reliability is reduced due to lack of backup options

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing reliabilityVSAvoidgroup management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple entity groups (first entity group and second entity group) into a unified processing system where both groups can handle operation requests. The groups are merged at the functional level to provide backup and load-sharing capabilities, resolving the contradiction by achieving both reliability improvement and controlled complexity through systematic integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes predefined association relationships between entity groups before operation requests are processed. This preliminary configuration of group associations enables automatic failover and load distribution without real-time decision complexity, improving reliability while maintaining manageable system complexity through advance planning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If operation requests are processed by multiple entity groups in parallel, then the productivity is improved, but the coordination complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidcoordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the processing system into distinct entity groups with specific roles (first entity group for primary processing, second entity group for backup and concurrent processing). This segmentation enables parallel operation of multiple groups while reducing coordination complexity by clearly defining each group's function and interaction protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an association relationship mechanism as an intermediary layer between entity groups and operation requests. This intermediary structure manages the coordination between multiple groups, enabling parallel processing while abstracting the complexity of inter-group communication and data consistency management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Extent of automation

If manual management of multiple entity groups is implemented, then the control flexibility is maintained, but the automation level is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing automationVSAvoidmanagement ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables entity groups to automatically select and execute operation requests based on predefined association relationships and processing rules. The system performs self-service by autonomously determining which group processes which request, reducing manual intervention while maintaining operational flexibility through configurable association rules that balance automation with operational ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
