COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18551715 titled 'COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a communication system that enables communication among multiple nodes without the need for a central broker. The system utilizes a publishing/subscribing model and creates various relationship information among the nodes based on the communication data exchanged. Additionally, the system generates configuration information to indicate the network configuration by associating the relationship information.

  • The communication system enables communication among multiple nodes without a central broker.
  • Relationship information is created to indicate the transmission and reception relationships among the nodes, their belonging domain, and the topics to be published and subscribed.
  • Configuration information is generated to indicate the network configuration by associating the relationship information.

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various fields such as IoT networks, real-time data streaming, and distributed systems.

Problems Solved

The communication system eliminates the need for a central broker, reducing single points of failure and improving scalability and efficiency in communication among nodes.

Benefits

- Decentralized communication system - Improved scalability and efficiency - Enhanced network configuration management

Potential Commercial Applications

"Decentralized Communication System for IoT Networks and Distributed Systems"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to decentralized communication systems in IoT networks and distributed systems, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle security and authentication among nodes in the network?

The patent application does not address the specific mechanisms for ensuring security and authentication in the communication system.

What is the scalability limit of the system in terms of the number of nodes it can support?

The patent application does not mention the scalability limits of the system in terms of the number of nodes it can effectively handle.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication system that performs communication among a plurality of nodes by a broker-less type publishing/subscribing model, the communication system including a computer including a memory and a processor configured to receive communication data among the plurality of nodes; based on the communication data, create first relationship information indicating a relationship among the nodes regarding transmission and reception of the communication data, second relationship information indicating a relationship among the nodes regarding a belonging domain and whether the nodes are on a publisher side or on a subscriber side, and third relationship information indicating a relationship among the nodes regarding a topic to be published and subscribed; and create configuration information indicating a network configuration of the communication system by associating the first relationship information, the second relationship information, and the third relationship information.
