Discontinuous Access Management Using Waiting Tickets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Network systems face performance degradation and increased costs when handling a large number of user accesses due to limited resources, leading to delayed access processes or system downtime, as existing solutions like adding more servers are costly and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a discontinuous access management method using waiting tickets to allocate resources, where user terminals are issued waiting tickets with sequence numbers and waiting times, allowing them to reconnect after a specified period, thereby managing resource allocation and preventing continuous access overload.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the number of servers is increased to handle more user requests, then the processing capability is improved, but the cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action by controlling user access to the network system in discrete time intervals. The server allocates resources to a limited number of users simultaneously, then releases access to allow other users to connect. This periodic granting and releasing of access rights enables the single server to handle more total user requests over time without requiring additional hardware, thus improving productivity while avoiding increased costs.
2Reliability
If all users are maintained with continuous access to the network system, then user service quality is improved, but resource exhaustion occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the access control system flexible and adaptive rather than static. The server dynamically adjusts which users have access at any given moment based on current resource availability and system conditions. Users can be granted access, then later released and re-granted access at different times, allowing the system to maintain good service quality for all users over time while preventing resource exhaustion through continuous adaptation of access patterns.
3Speed
If excessive requests are processed simultaneously, then user access speed is improved, but system stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-establishing access control rules and resource allocation limits before excessive requests can overwhelm the system. The server is configured with predetermined criteria for granting and releasing user access, allowing it to proactively manage request flow. When resource thresholds are approached, the system preemptively releases access to certain users before complete resource exhaustion occurs, maintaining system stability while still allowing high access speeds for users within the allocated capacity.

AI summary
According to the present invention, it is determined whether to allocate a resource to a user having accessed without having a waiting ticket that indicates an access sequence number of the user terminal, and re-access of the user terminal after a waiting time is instructed by providing a waiting ticket and the waiting time to the user terminal if the user terminal cannot be allocated with the resource, and it is determined whether to allocate a resource to the user terminal having accessed with the waiting ticket and the resource is allocated to the user terminal if it is possible. If the resource cannot be allocated to the re-accessed user terminal, a waiting ticket and a waiting time are provided to the user terminal to instruct to access again after the waiting time has passed.
