Optimal Object Placement Device for Remote Data Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In corporations without a thin client system, accessing data from a remote business site leads to slow data access, deteriorating operational efficiency due to distance from the primary workplace.
Innovation Solution
An optimal object placement device and method that detects user access tendencies and proactively transfers frequently accessed objects to the storage site of initial access, using an access tendency detection unit and object transfer control unit to optimize data placement across multiple sites.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data is accessed from a remote business site, then data security is maintained, but data access speed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by detecting user access patterns and proactively transferring frequently accessed data objects from the home site storage area to the remote business site storage area before the user actually needs them. This advance preparation eliminates the need for slow remote access during actual use, while maintaining security by keeping data within the corporate infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by creating duplicate copies of data objects in both the home site storage area and the remote business site storage area. The original data remains secured at the home site while accessible copies are placed at remote sites, allowing fast local access without compromising the security of the master data repository.
2Reliability
If data is accessed remotely from a different site, then data security is maintained, but operational efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The access tendency detection unit performs preliminary analysis of user access patterns to identify which data objects are likely to be accessed next. The object transfer control unit then proactively transfers these predicted objects to the user's current site before actual access occurs, eliminating operational delays while maintaining security protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting access patterns and triggering data transfers without requiring user intervention. The access tendency detection unit and object transfer control unit work autonomously to optimize data placement, improving operational efficiency while maintaining security without adding complexity to user operations.
3Reliability
If data is stored centrally at one business site, then data security is improved, but access speed from remote sites deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing data storage across multiple geographic sites while maintaining logical centralization. Data objects are segmented and placed in appropriate storage areas based on access patterns - frequently accessed objects are segmented to remote sites while less frequently accessed objects remain at the home site, optimizing both security and access speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by customizing data placement based on specific access patterns for each user and each data object. Instead of uniform data distribution, the system places copies of data objects locally at remote sites only when access tendency analysis indicates that specific users will need specific objects, optimizing access speed for actual use cases while maintaining centralized security management.

AI summary
The deterioration of the operational efficiency of an optimal object placement device caused by the degradation in the access speed to the objects is inhibited. An optimal object placement device optimizes, in an information processing system having a storage area in each of a plurality of sites and in which a user can access objects stored in the storage area of all of the sites from each of the sites, placement of each of the objects; and an optimal object placement method is executed by the optimal object placement device, wherein control is executed for detecting an access tendency of the user's access to the objects.
