User Terminal Resource Sharing Domain for Storage and Traffic Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing demand for storage space and data traffic on mobile user terminals exceeds their limited capacity, leading to inefficient resource utilization and wasted resources due to the current cloud storage and traffic allowance systems.
Innovation Solution
A resource sharing method is implemented where user terminals can establish a sharing domain, share storage space and network traffic, and allocate resources based on real-time availability and predetermined rules, optimizing resource utilization by connecting user terminals with excess resources to those in need.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If cloud storage and traffic allowance systems are used, then storage capacity and traffic needs are met, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates due to wasted resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the storage and traffic resources of multiple user terminals into a unified sharing domain. User terminals with excess resources can share them with terminals that have insufficient resources, combining individual capacities into a collective resource pool that improves overall utilization efficiency while meeting storage and traffic needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The sharing domain enables user terminals to perform multiple functions: they can both consume resources and share resources simultaneously. Terminals with remaining capacity can provide storage and traffic services to others, making the system multi-functional and improving resource utilization efficiency beyond simple cloud storage reliance.
2Device complexity
If fixed storage and traffic allowances are allocated, then resource allocation is simplified, but adaptability to varying user needs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation within the sharing domain. Instead of fixed allowances, resources are dynamically adjusted based on real-time user needs and available capacity. Terminals can request and provide resources flexibly, and the system adapts allocation automatically, maintaining simplicity while improving adaptability to varying user requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where user terminals report their resource usage and availability status. This feedback enables the sharing domain to automatically adjust resource allocation, balancing simplicity in management with adaptability to changing user needs through automated responses to usage patterns.
3Ease of operation
If individual user terminals manage their own storage and traffic, then operational simplicity is maintained, but overall resource sharing capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a sharing domain as an intermediary between individual user terminals. This mediator coordinates resource sharing automatically, maintaining operational simplicity for users while enabling effective resource sharing. The sharing domain handles the complexity of resource matching and allocation, allowing terminals to focus on simple resource provision and consumption without managing sharing logistics manually.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for sharing computer device resources includes establishing a sharing domain and storing information of user terminals joined to the sharing domain. Information of shareable resources in the sharing domain is obtained. Requests for allocation of computer device resources such as data storage and data traffic per period may be sent out by a user terminal, and allocations of resources for sharing may be made according to one or more predetermined rules.
