Resource Synchronization via Server State Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional information synchronization control methods face issues with read/write conflicts and increased workload due to the uncertainty of resource acquisition timing and the need for database insertions and program adjustments during resource updates.
Innovation Solution
A resource synchronization control method involving a server that sets terminals in a cleared state upon receiving update notifications, allowing terminals to acquire resources without database insertions and program adjustments, thereby preventing conflicts and reducing workload.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the producer inserts the resource record into the database, then the customer can detect and acquire the resource, but the workload of the server increases due to database operations and program adjustments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the resource record detection mechanism from the database system. Instead of inserting records into the database, the producer sends notifications directly to the server. The server maintains a terminal list in memory rather than relying on database operations, thereby reducing database workload and server complexity while maintaining resource acquisition reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between the producer and customer. The producer notifies the server of resource completion, and the server manages the terminal list and notifies customers. This intermediary approach eliminates the need for database insertions and complex program adjustments, reducing server workload while ensuring reliable resource distribution.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the customer acquires the resource at any time, then the resource acquisition flexibility is improved, but read/write conflicts occur when the producer is updating the resource
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic state management for terminals in the terminal list. Terminals transition between different states (e.g., waiting, acquiring, completed) based on real-time resource availability and producer updates. This dynamic approach allows flexible resource acquisition timing while maintaining system stability through state-based conflict prevention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the server continuously monitors resource update status and terminal acquisition status. When the producer completes a resource update, the server notifies affected terminals. When terminals acquire resources, they notify the server to update their state. This feedback loop ensures system stability while allowing flexible acquisition timing by coordinating read/write operations through state management.

AI summary
A method, device and system for resource synchronization control are provided in accordance with the present disclosure. The disclosure relates to a field of information synchronization control. The method for resource synchronization control includes: inquiring, by a first terminal, from a server whether an address of the first terminal in a first terminal list is in a cleared state, the first terminal list has recorded an address of the first terminal; acquiring, by the first terminal, a resource file from a second terminal, if the address of the first terminal is in the cleared state; and notifying, by the first terminal, the server to cancel the cleared state of the address of the first terminal in the first terminal list, after acquiring the resource file.
