Unified Application Manager for SIP and Web Server Replication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In Web-VoIP cooperative AP environments, the replication functions of SIP-AP and Web-AP servers operate independently, leading to decreased efficiency and difficulty in controlling each other's replication processes, necessitating a system and method for managing applications that can utilize replication functions effectively across different network protocols.
Innovation Solution
An application management system comprising a first application manager for managing applications based on one network protocol, a first unit processing replica generator, a second application manager for managing applications based on another network protocol, and a second unit processing replica manager that converts and replicates processing units between the two, enabling efficient replication across servers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If replication functions of SIP-AP and Web-AP servers operate independently, then each server can maintain its own replication process, but the overall system efficiency decreases and control between replication processes becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the previously independent SIP-AP and Web-AP replication functions into a unified replication management system. The application manager integrates both replication processes, allowing them to share resources and coordinate operations, thereby improving overall system efficiency while maintaining the reliability of individual replication functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal replication management framework that can handle both SIP-AP and Web-AP replication through a single system. The application manager is designed to be protocol-agnostic, enabling it to manage replication for multiple application types simultaneously, thus improving productivity without sacrificing the specific requirements of each protocol.
2Adaptability or versatility
If replication functions are provided separately, then each server maintains independence, but it becomes difficult to use and control one replication function with the other
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an application manager as an intermediary component that sits between the SIP-AP and Web-AP servers. This mediator enables centralized control and coordination of replication operations across both protocols, making it easier to manage and control replication processes while preserving the independence and adaptability of individual servers through standardized interfaces.
3Adaptability or versatility
If two different replication server functions are present in Web-VoIP cooperative AP environment, then both SIP and Web applications can be replicated, but efficiency decreases due to separate operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the replication management functionality into modular components within the application manager. Each protocol-specific replication function is divided into manageable units that can be independently configured but centrally coordinated, allowing efficient resource utilization while maintaining support for multiple protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the management of SIP-AP and Web-AP replication functions into a single integrated application manager. This merging allows both replication processes to operate under unified control, sharing common resources and coordination mechanisms, thereby improving overall replication efficiency while maintaining protocol-specific capabilities.

AI summary
An application management system includes a first application manager which manages one or more first applications based on a first network protocol and manages first unit processing related to an execution of each of the first applications; a first unit processing replica generator that generates a replica of the first unit processing; a second application manager which manages one or more second applications based on a second network protocol and manages second unit processing related to an execution of each of the second applications; and a second unit processing replica manager that converts the second unit processing to the first unit processing and causes the first unit processing replica generator to generate a replica of the converted first unit processing for generating a replica of the second unit processing.
