Single OS Instance Product Resource Allocation via Local Bindings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods require partitioning a single system into multiple operating system instances for product-specific resource allocation, leading to inefficient communication and increased administrative complexity due to reliance on TCP/IP for inter-product communication.
Innovation Solution
A method for product-specific system resource allocation within a single operating system instance, utilizing a resource allocation module to analyze constraints and implement individual resource allocations for multiple products via local inter-product message communication bindings, enabling shared resource usage and adaptive tuning to optimize performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If multiple operating system instances are used for product-specific resource allocation, then resource allocation precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple operating system instances into a single operating system instance while maintaining product-specific resource allocation through a resource allocation module. This consolidation reduces device complexity by eliminating the need for multiple separate operating system instances while preserving the ability to allocate resources precisely to individual products through local inter-product message communication bindings.
2Adaptability or versatility
If TCP/IP is used for inter-product communication across operating system instances, then communication coverage is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces local inter-product message communication bindings as an intermediary mechanism for communication between products within the same operating system instance. This local communication path eliminates the need for TCP/IP network protocols, significantly reducing communication time while maintaining adequate communication coverage for products sharing the same operating system instance.
3Reliability
If multiple operating system instances are partitioned for product isolation, then reliability is improved, but ease of operation worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the single operating system instance into isolated product environments through a resource allocation module that creates virtual boundaries for each product. This segmentation provides product isolation and reliability similar to multiple operating system instances, while products share the same operating system kernel and resources, thereby simplifying administrative operations and reducing complexity.

AI summary
Resource constraints for a group of individual application products to be configured for shared resource usage of at least one shared resource within a single operating system instance are analyzed by a resource allocation module. An individual resource allocation for each of the group of individual application products is determined based upon the analyzed resource constraints for the group of individual application products. The determined individual resource allocation for each of the group of individual application products is implemented within the single operating system instance using local inter-product message communication bindings by the single operating system instance.
