Server Switching Management for Mobile Objects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for managing service provision to mobile objects face challenges in switching servers without causing temporary interruptions or disconnections, particularly due to differences in communication and application timing layers, which can lead to service quality deterioration.
Innovation Solution
A management system comprising an evaluation unit to assess the impact of server switching on services, a decision unit to determine optimal switching times based on this evaluation, and an instruction unit to execute the switch, ensuring minimal disruption to service delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If server switching is performed to optimize service provision for mobile objects, then service quality can be improved, but temporary interruption or disconnection of application communication occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing a connection to the target server before disconnecting from the current server. The mobile terminal maintains connections to both servers during the transition period, allowing seamless switching without communication interruption. This is achieved through the connection management unit that coordinates the timing of connection establishment and disconnection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system ensures continuity of service by maintaining active communication channels throughout the server switching process. The mobile terminal keeps communication links established with both the current and target servers simultaneously, ensuring that service delivery continues without interruption during the transition phase.
2Stability of the object's composition
If server switching is performed based on communication timing only, then communication stability is improved, but application service timing may not be optimized
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges communication timing information with application service timing requirements to make server switching decisions. The determination unit综合考虑 both the communication status (stability) and the application's need for timely service delivery, selecting switching moments that satisfy both constraints simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts server switching timing based on real-time conditions. Rather than using fixed switching intervals, the system continuously monitors communication status and application requirements, adapting the switching timing to optimize both communication stability and application service efficiency under varying conditions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If frequent server switching is performed to respond to mobile object movement, then service adaptability is improved, but service interruption risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback mechanisms to monitor the actual impact of server switching on service delivery. The determination unit analyzes communication status and application performance metrics after each switching event, using this feedback to optimize future switching decisions and minimize service interruption risks while maintaining adaptability.

AI summary
A process of switching a provision source server of a service for a mobile object is performed at a timing suitable for a service being provided. A management system or a management apparatus evaluates a degree of influence of a server switching process of switching a provision source server of a service for a mobile object, which is exerted on the service. The management system or the management apparatus decides a timing to switch the provision source server on the basis of an evaluation result of the evaluating and gives an instruction to switch the provision source server at the timing decided by the decision.
