Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies face challenges in efficiently matching computing tasks between devices while ensuring privacy and optimizing resource utilization in ubiquitous computing frameworks, particularly in 6G networks.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a Ubiquitous Computing Characteristics Profile (UCCP) that masks specific application details and enables straightforward matching of computing nodes, using a Ubiquitous Compute Characteristics Indicator (UCCI) index to facilitate efficient resource allocation without revealing sensitive information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If detailed application information is shared for computing task matching, then matching accuracy is improved, but privacy is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematching accuracyVSAvoidprivacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential computing characteristics (CPU requirements, memory requirements, storage requirements, execution time) from the full application information, creating a simplified UCCP that enables matching without exposing sensitive application details. This selective extraction resolves the contradiction by providing sufficient information for accurate matching while preserving privacy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The UCCP acts as an intermediary layer between the application and the computing node matching system. Instead of directly sharing detailed application information, the system uses the standardized UCCP format as a mediator that translates application requirements into matchable characteristics, thereby maintaining privacy while enabling accurate matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If comprehensive computing characteristics are collected, then resource allocation accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments computing characteristics into four distinct, standardized categories: CPU requirements, memory requirements, storage requirements, and execution time. This segmentation allows the system to collect comprehensive information for accurate resource allocation while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The UCCP is designed as a universal profile format that can represent different types of computing tasks (AI/ML training, AI/ML inference, video encoding, video decoding, image processing, audio processing, signal processing) using the same four characteristic categories. This universality enables accurate resource allocation across diverse applications without increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
