Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing technologies for network and system design are costly and time-consuming, requiring custom development cycles for each new or modified service, leading to inefficiencies and high development costs.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a user-driven network design (UDND) approach, which utilizes a flexible data model and data-driven implementation to facilitate rapid design, provisioning, activation, and management of new or modified services, leveraging standardized operations and reusable assets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If custom development cycles are used for each new or modified service, then service functionality can be tailored to specific requirements, but development cost and time increase substantially
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments service development into modular components including service templates, configuration parameters, and standardized workflows. This allows services to be assembled from pre-defined building blocks rather than developed from scratch, enabling customization without proportional increases in development time and cost.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables service customization through parameter modification rather than code changes. Service templates contain configurable parameters that can be adjusted to tailor services to specific requirements, allowing rapid adaptation while maintaining the underlying standardized service framework.
2Manufacturing precision
If custom development cycles are used for each new or modified service, then service specifications can be precisely met, but design, test/validation, implementation/delivery, support/maintenance, and troubleshooting costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining service templates with standardized configurations, validation rules, and deployment procedures. This preliminary preparation ensures that when services are instantiated, they automatically adhere to specified requirements while avoiding the need for custom development cycles for each service.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates universal service templates that can serve multiple purposes and be instantiated repeatedly for different services. These templates encapsulate best practices, validation logic, and deployment configurations that can be reused across multiple service deployments, reducing both complexity and cost.
3Adaptability or versatility
If software is used to provide network functionality instead of hardware, then flexibility for adaptations is enhanced, but custom development cycles are still required for each new or modified service
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs copying by creating service templates that can be replicated and instantiated multiple times. Instead of developing each service individually, the system copies proven service configurations and adapts them through parameter modification, dramatically reducing development time while maintaining flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamics by enabling services to be dynamically instantiated, configured, and deployed through software-based templates. This allows the system to adapt to changing requirements by dynamically creating new service instances from templates rather than undergoing static custom development cycles.
