COMMUNICATION PORT MANAGEMENT METHOD AND RELATED DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18485768 titled 'COMMUNICATION PORT MANAGEMENT METHOD AND RELATED DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and devices for managing multiple communication ports on a communication device connection panel. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The application discloses methods and devices for managing communication ports on a connection panel.
  • The method involves obtaining local images of the connection panel, where each image corresponds to a specific area of the panel and includes port labels.
  • An overall port information matrix is generated based on the local images, indicating the port identifier and relative location of each communication port on the panel.
  • Communication port management is performed based on the overall port information matrix.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in various communication devices such as routers, switches, and servers to efficiently manage and organize multiple communication ports.
  • It can be applied in data centers or network infrastructure setups where a large number of communication ports need to be managed.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • This technology solves the problem of effectively managing and organizing multiple communication ports on a connection panel.
  • It provides a systematic approach to identify and locate each communication port, making it easier to configure and troubleshoot the ports.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Efficient management of communication ports leads to improved network performance and reliability.
  • The overall port information matrix provides a clear overview of the connection panel, simplifying the configuration and maintenance processes.
  • It reduces the time and effort required for port identification and troubleshooting.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of this application disclose example communication port management methods and example related devices to manage a plurality of communication ports on a communication device connection panel. One example method includes obtaining at least two local images of the communication device connection panel, where each local image corresponds to one local area of the communication device connection panel, and where each of the plurality of communication ports is attached with a port label that identifies each communication port. An overall port information matrix of the communication device connection panel is generated based on the at least two local images, where the overall port information matrix indicates a port identifier of each communication port in the plurality of communication ports and a relative location of each communication port in an overall area of the communication device connection panel. Communication port management is performed based on the overall port information matrix.
