Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual service configuration is used, then service parameters can be configured, but provisioning time is long and errors are prone to occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice configuration accuracyVSAvoidprovisioning time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic service configuration without manual intervention. The network device autonomously determines service parameters including service type, port rate, and port signal type based on the optical path, eliminating the need for manual configuration and reducing both time and errors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual mechanical configuration operations are replaced by an automated electronic determination system. The system uses electronic processing to automatically identify service parameters from the optical path characteristics, substituting manual labor with automated technological processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If manual service configuration is used, then service parameters can be configured, but provisioning efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice configuration simplicityVSAvoidprovisioning efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The configuration process is automated to perform itself without human operation. The network device automatically determines all service parameters based on the optical path, making the system self-sufficient and eliminating manual configuration steps entirely.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The complex manual configuration process is extracted and replaced by an automated determination mechanism. The system extracts the essential information from the optical path and automatically derives the service parameters, removing the need for manual intervention in the configuration process.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system autonomously determines service parameters without manual input, eliminating human error sources. The automated determination process consistently identifies service type, port rate, and port signal type based on objective optical path characteristics, ensuring high reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the optical path as feedback to automatically determine service parameters. By continuously referencing the actual optical path characteristics, the system ensures that the configured service parameters accurately match the physical network state, improving configuration accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

This application provides an optical transport network service provisioning method, an electronic device, and a system. Applied to a server, the method includes: obtaining a target service type, a target port rate, and a target port signal type of an optical transport network service; and determining a target port of target customer-premises equipment (CPE) based on an association relationship among a service type, a port rate, a port signal type, and CPE, where the target port of the target CPE supports the target service type, the target port rate, and the target port signal type, and the target port of the target CPE is configured to establish an optical path of the optical transport network service. In the method, a device port corresponding to the optical transport network service does not need to be manually configured, so that service provisioning duration can be effectively shortened.
