CONFIGURATION FEEDING DEVICE, CONFIGURATION FEEDING METHOD, AND CONFIGURATION FEEDING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18276922 titled 'CONFIGURATION FEEDING DEVICE, CONFIGURATION FEEDING METHOD, AND CONFIGURATION FEEDING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application related to a controller receiving tunnel setting orders and dividing them into different processing steps stored in a management database. The controller then creates configurations for executing each step and inputs them to the transfer apparatus at the setting destination of the tunnel.

  • The innovation involves dividing tunnel setting orders into specific processing steps related to user registration, transfer surface, interface of transfer apparatus, and parameters to be set, and creating configurations for executing these steps.
  • The controller stores the processing steps in a management database and reflects the information in each step to a template for execution.
  • The configurations created are then inputted to the transfer apparatus at the setting destination of the tunnel for implementation.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries where tunnel settings need to be managed efficiently, such as telecommunications, networking, and transportation sectors.

Problems Solved

This technology streamlines the process of setting up tunnels by breaking down complex orders into specific steps, ensuring accurate implementation and reducing errors.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency in setting up tunnels, enhanced accuracy in configuration execution, and overall optimization of tunnel management processes.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include network infrastructure management systems, communication network providers, and transportation companies requiring tunnel configuration solutions.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing tunnel management systems that may not have the capability to divide setting orders into specific processing steps for efficient configuration execution.

Unanswered Questions

How does the controller prioritize the processing steps in case of conflicting orders?

The article does not address how the controller handles conflicting orders or prioritizes processing steps in such scenarios.

What is the scalability of this technology for large-scale tunnel networks?

The scalability of this technology for managing settings in large-scale tunnel networks is not discussed in the article.


Original Abstract Submitted

When a controller receives a tunnel setting order from a high-order Ops (operation system), the controller divides the setting order into a first setting processing step related to setting registration of a user, a second setting processing step related to a transfer surface of the tunnel, a third setting processing step related to an interface of each transfer apparatus used for a tunnel of the transfer surface, and a fourth setting processing step related to a parameter to be set to the interface and stores the setting processing steps in a setting management DB. Subsequently, the controller creates a configuration for executing each setting processing step indicated in the tunnel setting order by reflecting information indicated in each divided setting processing step to a template of each setting processing step. In addition, the controller inputs the created configuration to a transfer apparatus at a setting destination of the tunnel.
