Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication network relay systems face inefficiencies in handling service roaming, leading to unnecessary communication with multiple connection objects and resource wastage when a service device roams between relays, as they fail to efficiently reroute messages and delete service messages.

Innovation Solution

A relay device and system with a processor and communication interface that utilize a plurality of connection objects to receive and reroute messages and service messages efficiently upon service roaming indications, communicating only with specific connection objects to reroute messages and delete unnecessary service messages, thereby optimizing resource usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If relays apply service roaming when communicating with all other relays, then service roaming is handled comprehensively, but unnecessary communication with multiple connection objects occurs causing resource wastage

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice roaming handlingVSAvoidprocessing overhead

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The relay divides connection objects into different groups based on their relationship with the roaming service device. The processor identifies which connection objects are associated with the roaming device and separates them from other connection objects, enabling targeted communication only with relevant segments rather than all connection objects uniformly.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of communicating with all connection objects when service roaming occurs, the relay performs partial action by communicating only with the specific connection objects that are associated with the roaming service device. This reduces unnecessary communication while ensuring complete handling of roaming-related messages.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Reliability

If relays communicate with all connection objects during service roaming, then no messages are missed, but processing overhead and resource usage increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemessage deliveryVSAvoidresource management

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The relay system automatically identifies and manages connection objects associated with roaming service devices through its own processing capabilities. The processor autonomously determines which connection objects require communication based on service roaming indications, eliminating the need for external management or comprehensive broadcasting to all connection objects.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The relay uses service roaming indications as feedback to adjust its communication behavior. When a service roaming indication is received, the processor uses this feedback information to identify and communicate only with the specific connection objects associated with the roaming device, rather than following a fixed communication pattern with all connection objects.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If service messages are retained after service roaming, then service continuity is maintained, but unnecessary messages accumulate causing resource wastage

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice continuityVSAvoidmessage accumulation

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The relay performs preliminary identification of service messages associated with the roaming service device before the roaming process completes. By using service roaming indications to pre-identify which messages are related to the roaming device, the system can selectively retain only necessary messages and delete unnecessary ones, preventing message accumulation while maintaining service continuity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The relay systematically discards service messages that are no longer necessary after service roaming occurs. The processor identifies messages associated with the roaming service device and deletes them from the connection objects, recovering storage resources while ensuring that service continuity is maintained through proper message routing during the transition.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #34Discarding and recovering
