Wired Server Mediator for Mobile Web Service Load Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile phones, used as web servers, face limitations in performance and resource consumption when handling internet services, leading to inconvenient content sharing and service disruptions due to their portable nature and limited capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A wired server system is introduced to manage and control access to mobile web servers, allowing it to handle requests, store content, and provide services in place of the mobile server, reducing the load on the mobile device and enhancing security and usability by using a database to store IP addresses and a network controller to filter and redirect requests.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If all processes are performed by the mobile server in response to a request from an external client, then the mobile phone can provide web services directly, but a large amount of the terminal's resources are consumed and it is difficult to provide full service due to limited performance
Solution Approach 1:
A wired server is introduced as an intermediary between the mobile phone and external clients. The wired server handles resource-intensive web service processes, while the mobile phone maintains a lightweight mobile web server that can still provide web service functionality without consuming excessive terminal resources. This mediator approach allows the mobile phone to provide adaptive web services while offloading heavy processing to the wired server.
2Ease of operation
If the mobile server is used for content sharing, then direct access to contents created or stored in a mobile phone is enabled, but service cannot be provided when the terminal functioning as the mobile server is powered off or is busy
Solution Approach 1:
The wired server acts as a mediator that can provide content sharing services even when the mobile phone is powered off or busy. The wired server stores IP addresses of mobile web servers and can handle client requests independently, ensuring service continuity and reliability while maintaining the ease of direct content access.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the operational state parameters by allowing the wired server to take over service provision when the mobile server is unavailable. The wired server can retrieve and manage IP addresses from its database, enabling it to dynamically adjust service delivery based on the availability state of the mobile phone, thus maintaining service reliability without compromising ease of operation.
3Reliability
If a wired server is introduced to manage and control access to mobile web servers, then the load on the mobile device is reduced and security is enhanced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wired server serves as an intermediary that simplifies the overall system architecture by centralizing management functions. Rather than making the mobile device complex with additional management capabilities, the wired server handles IP address management, access control, and service coordination, thereby enhancing reliability without significantly increasing mobile device complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
A server for a mobile web service and a method for providing a web service are provided. The wired server stores an IP address of at least one mobile web server. When a request for access to a mobile web server is received, the wired server delivers the access request to the mobile web server or provides a service in place of the mobile web server, using a URL included in the access request.
