METHOD FOR ENABLING INTENT AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18539301 titled 'METHOD FOR ENABLING INTENT AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for enabling an intent by resolving conflicts with other intents in a network element.

  • The first network element obtains information about conflicting intents.
  • When the status of conflicting intents changes, the network element initiates the procedure to enable the first intent.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in network management systems to efficiently handle conflicting intents and enable specific actions or configurations.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing conflicting intents in network elements, ensuring that the desired intent can be enabled in a timely manner.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include timely resolution of conflicts, accurate handling of intent changes, and efficient enabling of desired intents in network elements.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in telecommunications networks, where conflicting intents often arise and need to be resolved quickly and accurately.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing network management systems that handle conflicting intents, but may not have the same level of efficiency and accuracy in enabling specific intents.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle complex networks with multiple layers of conflicting intents?

The patent application does not provide details on how the method scales to handle complex networks with numerous conflicting intents.

Are there any limitations to the types of intents that can be resolved using this method?

The patent application does not specify if there are any limitations to the types of intents that can be resolved using this method, such as specific protocols or network configurations.


Original Abstract Submitted

This application provides a method for enabling an intent and an apparatus. The method includes: A first network element obtains first information, where the first information indicates at least one intent, and the at least one intent is all intents that conflict with a first intent. When the first network element determines that a status of the at least one intent changes, the first network element initiates a procedure of enabling the first intent. According to the solution of this application, when the first intent is in a conflict state, the first network element may initiate the procedure of enabling the first intent after determining that statuses of all the intents that conflict with the first intent change. The solution in this application can be used to re-initiate, in a timely, accurate, and efficient manner, the procedure of enabling the first intent.
