Solution Overview

Problem

Real-time control systems in server environments face high memory requirements and require tight hardware-software coupling, making it risky to execute third-party software and control algorithms without extensive review due to security and stability concerns.

Innovation Solution

A platform that interfaces third-party systems with client devices by receiving requests, translating them into client-specific protocols, and transmitting responses, acting as a universal translator to ensure secure and scalable operation without needing third-party software to run on the server or client devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If third-party software and control algorithms are executed directly in the server environment, then functionality and integration are improved, but security and system stability deteriorate due to the need for extensive review and testing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration capabilityVSAvoidsystem stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a containerized execution environment that acts as an intermediary between third-party software and the server. This container isolates third-party code, allowing it to execute without direct access to server resources, thereby maintaining security and stability while enabling functionality integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If third-party software is extensively reviewed and tested before implementation, then security and stability are improved, but implementation time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidimplementation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements pre-configured container templates that contain pre-established security policies, resource limits, and execution constraints. These security measures are prepared in advance, eliminating the need for time-consuming security reviews and testing of each third-party software implementation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Manufacturing precision

If tight coupling between hardware and software is maintained for real-time control, then control precision is improved, but adaptability to different client systems deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol precisionVSAvoidclient system compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal container execution platform that can host multiple client-specific protocols and communication interfaces. This allows the system to maintain tight coupling with individual client systems for precise control while simultaneously supporting multiple different client types through the standardized container interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
