Solution Overview

Problem

Current Publish/Subscribe and Peer-to-Peer systems in communication networks are inefficient due to reliance on central servers, leading to single-point failures and high battery consumption in user equipment, especially in mobile networks, and lack effective data sharing solutions that reduce battery exhaustion.

Innovation Solution

A method and system utilizing sharing routers that store and manage data references, allowing direct communication between nodes and reducing the need for message exchange between user equipment, using Internet Protocol such as IPv6 to integrate with existing infrastructures and preserve battery life by performing data searches and retrievals without connected user equipment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If Publish/Subscribe system is used for data sharing, then data dissemination among user equipments is enabled, but single-point of failure occurs due to reliance on central server

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem reliabilityVSAvoidcentralized architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized pub/sub system into distributed sharing routers that operate independently. Each sharing router maintains local data and serves local queries, eliminating the single central server point of failure while maintaining data dissemination functionality across the network.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces sharing routers as intermediary devices between end devices and the data network. These routers buffer data locally and handle query requests, reducing direct communication overhead between end devices and eliminating the need for a single central server mediator.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If Peer-to-Peer system is used for data sharing, then single-point of failure is avoided, but battery consumption increases due to frequent data processing on user equipment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem reliabilityVSAvoidbattery consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces sharing routers as intermediary devices between end devices and the data network. These routers buffer data locally and handle query requests, reducing direct communication overhead between end devices and eliminating the need for a single central server mediator.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The sharing routers autonomously manage data buffering, query processing, and network communication without requiring intensive processing on user equipment. This self-service capability offloads computational tasks from mobile devices, significantly reducing their battery consumption while maintaining distributed system reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If Peer-to-Peer system is used for data sharing, then direct connectivity between users is enabled, but message exchange overhead increases requiring more message exchanges between user equipment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedirect connectivityVSAvoidmessage exchange volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces sharing routers as intermediary devices between end devices and the data network. These routers buffer data locally and handle query requests, reducing direct communication overhead between end devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges data buffering and query processing functions into the sharing routers, combining multiple operations into a single intermediary device. This consolidation reduces the total number of message exchanges required between end devices compared to direct peer-to-peer communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Productivity

If data searching is performed by connected user equipment in P2P system, then data retrieval is enabled, but battery exhaustion occurs due to frequent processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retrieval efficiencyVSAvoidbattery consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces sharing routers as intermediary devices between end devices and the data network. These routers buffer data locally and handle query requests, reducing direct communication overhead between end devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The sharing routers perform preliminary data buffering and query processing before requests reach user equipment. By pre-processing queries and maintaining local data caches, the system enables efficient data retrieval without requiring intensive real-time processing on mobile devices, thus preventing battery exhaustion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method is provided for sharing data between a plurality of nodes in a communication network. The communication network includes a first sharing router and a second sharing router. The first sharing router and second sharing router each have a memory, the memory including a record table for storing at least one record, wherein each record includes at least a reference describing the data to share and, at least one of the data to share or the address of at least a data node associated with the data to share, so that a collecting node may further collect the data.
