Proxy-Mediated Cross-Network Differential Calculation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Hosts lack the necessary hardware and software infrastructure to initiate and complete storage device updates involving multiple source devices, as they may not know which object parameters to select or have incomplete information about the destination, leading to incomplete updates.
Innovation Solution
A proxy network is introduced to manage suspended storage device updates, allowing an instantiating source device to select an object set with unspecified parameters, and a terminating source device to provide necessary information to complete the update.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a host attempts to manage multi-source device updates directly, then update control capability is improved, but infrastructure complexity and information completeness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a proxy network as an intermediary between source devices and the host. The proxy network manages the complexity of coordinating multiple source devices, handling object selection, and ensuring information completeness. This allows the host to maintain update control capability without directly implementing the complex infrastructure needed to manage multi-source device updates, effectively mediating the interaction between sources with limited information and the host requiring complete update information
2Adaptability or versatility
If an instantiating source device selects objects with unspecified parameters, then update initiation flexibility is improved, but information completeness for completion deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a two-phase update process where source devices perform preliminary actions by selecting objects with unspecified parameters and initiating updates with partial information. The proxy network then completes the update by filling in missing parameters and information. This allows source devices to demonstrate intent and flexibility without needing complete information upfront, while ensuring the host receives fully specified update requests
Solution Approach 2:
The proxy network acts as an intermediary that receives incomplete update requests from source devices, fills in missing information by selecting appropriate parameter values, and forwards complete update requests to the host. This mediation resolves the contradiction by allowing flexible initiation with partial information while ensuring information completeness is achieved before the host processes the update
Data Source
AI summary
Provided are systems, methods, and computer-program products for a proxy network that can determine, for a set of objects, an initial differential, where the initial differential is determined using a rules data store of a host network. The proxy network can further determine a supplemental differential for the set of objects. The proxy network can further determine a final differential that is the sum of the initial differential and the supplemental differential. The proxy network can further determine a final sum for the set of objects that is the object value less the final differential. The proxy network can further generate an outbound data packet that includes values corresponding to the set of objects and the final sum. When the host network receives the outbound data packet, the host network can modify an object data store using the values corresponding to the set of objects and the final sum.
