Proxy-Based Communication Link Grouping for Server Update Consolidation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile communication devices transmitting variable updates to servers can overload the server, increasing processing power, resource requirements, and causing network interference, especially as update sizes grow.
Innovation Solution
A method is introduced to limit information transmission by establishing communication links between user equipment based on proximity, determining a tactical common mission group, and selecting a proxy to communicate with the server on behalf of the group, using a ranking system to compute mission vectors and select the proxy, which reduces the amount of information sent to the server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all user equipments transmit updates directly to the server, then each device can independently communicate its information, but the server becomes overloaded and network resources are consumed excessively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a proxy device as an intermediary between user equipments and the server. The proxy receives updates from multiple user equipments, processes and consolidates the information, then transmits a single consolidated update to the server. This mediator approach maintains communication reliability for all devices while dramatically reducing server processing requirements and network resource consumption.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple user equipments transmit simultaneous updates to the server, then all devices can send information independently, but network interference increases and bandwidth efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple simultaneous update transmissions into a single consolidated transmission. The proxy device combines updates from multiple user equipments, consolidates redundant information, and sends one unified update to the server. This merging approach reduces network interference and improves bandwidth efficiency while maintaining the adaptability of individual device communication through the proxy's intelligent consolidation process.
3Loss of information
If each user equipment transmits complete update information to the server, then all information is available for processing, but the amount of data transmitted increases processing and resource requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and consolidates essential information from multiple updates at the proxy device. Instead of transmitting complete duplicate updates from each user equipment, the proxy extracts unique information elements, removes redundancies, and creates a consolidated update containing only necessary data. This extraction approach maintains information completeness for server processing while dramatically reducing the quantity of transmitted data.

AI summary
Method, User equipment, system and program for limiting an amount of information transmitted between a plurality of user equipments and a server. The method comprising establishing communication links between a plurality of user equipments based upon a proximity of the plurality of user equipments, determining a tactical common mission group selected from the linked plurality of user equipments using a mission profile stored in each of the plurality of user equipments; and selecting a proxy for the tactical common mission group. The proxy communicates with a server on behalf of the tactical common mission group. A proxy is selected based upon a ranking.
