Server Data Transmission via External Storage Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing server configurations require writing all converted data to internal storage before transmission, leading to increased data usage and potential resource constraints when transmitting data to external apparatuses.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system where the server writes and transmits only untransmitted partial data from external storage to internal storage and then to the external apparatus, reducing the amount of data stored internally by dividing data into smaller portions and managing their transmission based on request commands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all converted data is written to internal storage device before transmission, then data transmission can be performed, but the data amount stored in internal storage device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the converted data into multiple divided data portions and stores them in the external storage device. When transmission is required, only the necessary divided data is loaded into the internal storage device, rather than loading all converted data at once. This segmentation approach reduces the data amount occupying internal storage resources while ensuring transmission capability.
2Quantity of substance
If divided data is stored in external storage device, then internal storage resource is saved, but data management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an external storage device as an intermediary between the data source and the internal storage device. The external storage device stores the divided data portions, acting as a buffer that reduces the burden on internal storage. This intermediary approach manages data complexity externally while preserving internal storage resources.
Data Source
AI summary
A server provides converted data to an external apparatus in response to plural request commands. The converted data is generated by converting target data and is divided to plural partial data to be stored in an external storage device. The server acquires one or more untransmitted partial data as a portion of the plural partial data from the external storage device each time when one request command is received, and writes the acquired one or more untransmitted partial data in an internal storage device of the server. The server transmits at least a portion of the one or more untransmitted partial data written in the internal storage device, to the external apparatus, each time when one request command of the plurality of request commands is received.
