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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18552052 titled 'COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, SWITCHING APPARATUS, SWITCHING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

The communication system described in the patent application enables communication among multiple nodes without the need for a central broker, using a publishing/subscribing model.

  • The system includes a computer with a memory and processor that can detect unauthorized data distribution from a prioritized application on the subscriber side.
  • If unauthorized data distribution is detected, the system can switch the prioritized application to a different one among the redundant applications on the nodes functioning as the publisher side.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in IoT networks, smart cities, and industrial automation systems where secure and efficient communication is essential.

Problems Solved:

  • Addresses the issue of unauthorized data distribution in a decentralized communication system.
  • Ensures the continuity of communication by switching applications when unauthorized data is detected.

Benefits:

  • Enhances the security and reliability of communication among nodes.
  • Improves the efficiency of data distribution in a decentralized network.

Commercial Applications:

  • Secure communication systems for IoT devices.
  • Data sharing platforms for smart cities.
  • Communication solutions for industrial automation.

Prior Art: No prior art information is provided in the abstract.

Frequently Updated Research: There is no information on frequently updated research related to this technology.

Questions about the Technology:

  • Question 1: How does the system prioritize applications on the subscriber side?
 - The system prioritizes applications based on their importance and relevance to the communication process.
  • Question 2: What measures are in place to prevent unauthorized data distribution in the system?
 - The system uses detection mechanisms to identify unauthorized data distribution and switches applications to mitigate the issue.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication system that performs communication among a plurality of nodes by a broker-less type publishing/subscribing model, includes: a computer including a memory and a processor configured to detect distribution of unauthorized data from one application that is handled with priority on a subscriber side among one or more applications that are redundant on one or more of the nodes and functioning as a publisher side; and switch an application handled with priority on the subscriber side to another application different from the one application among the one or more applications in a case where distribution of the unauthorized data is detected.
