Remote Operation Relay Server Scheduling for Conflict-Free Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote operation systems lack the ability to perform operations at non-real-time intervals, such as during midnight or early morning, and do not account for conflicts between the actual owner's operations and remote access, requiring administrators or supporters to work during less likely times and repeating repetitive tasks.
Innovation Solution
A remote operation system that includes a communication device, an external device, and a relay server, where the access authorization function can be activated at predetermined times or intervals, allowing remote operations to be scheduled and performed without conflicting with the actual owner's usage, and enabling the registration of remote operation content for later execution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If real-time remote operation is implemented, then remote access capability is improved, but operational conflict with actual owner and repeated manual tasks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows users to preset remote operation requests with specified timing and content before the actual execution time. The operation content, including authentication information and operation details, is registered in advance in the relay server, so when the predetermined time arrives, the system automatically executes the operation without requiring manual intervention. This eliminates the need for administrators to repeatedly perform the same manual tasks at different times.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables automated self-execution of remote operations by the communication device itself at predetermined times based on previously registered operation content. The device automatically receives authentication information, executes the operation, and manages its own access authorization without requiring continuous human intervention, thereby reducing the time administrators spend on repetitive manual operations.
2Ease of operation
If remote operation is performed during off-peak hours, then conflict with actual owner is reduced, but administrator workload and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system executes remote operations periodically at predetermined times that are set to avoid conflicts with actual owner usage. Instead of continuous monitoring or manual scheduling, the system automatically activates the access authorization function at specified intervals or times, performing operations only when needed and when the device is likely to be idle, thereby avoiding both conflicts and unnecessary energy consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically controls the activation timing of the access authorization function based on predetermined parameters set by users. By changing the temporal parameter (when the device is accessible for remote operation) rather than continuously maintaining access, the system avoids conflicts with actual owner usage while minimizing power consumption by keeping the authorization function inactive during periods when remote operation is not needed.
3Ease of operation
If access authorization function is continuously activated, then remote operation availability is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous activation, the access authorization function is activated periodically at predetermined times or intervals. The system transitions between active and inactive states, performing remote operations only when the authorization function is activated at these scheduled times, thereby maintaining operational availability when needed while minimizing power consumption during inactive periods.
Solution Approach 2:
The access authorization function transitions from a static continuous activation state to a dynamic state where it is activated and deactivated based on predetermined timing conditions. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt its availability to actual operational needs, maintaining remote operation capability when required while reducing power consumption by deactivating the function during periods when remote access is not needed.
