Data transmission method, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium

A new patent filed by HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. describes a method that involves searching a library of preset policies in response to a query request related to data transmission. This method aims to match the query request with a suitable transmission policy based on hardware information of the transmitting and receiving ends, as well as data information of the data to be transmitted. Once a match is found, the query result is fed back to the transmitting end. This innovative approach by Huawei could potentially streamline data transmission processes by ensuring that the most appropriate transmission policy is applied based on specific hardware and data characteristics. Competitors in the tech industry, such as Cisco and Nokia, may need to take note of this development as it could offer a new level of efficiency in data transmission protocols. Imagine the possibilities of this technology in optimizing data transfers in various industries, from telecommunications to healthcare to finance. Could this method pave the way for more customized and efficient data transmission solutions tailored to specific needs and requirements? How might this innovation impact the future of data communication systems?

Abstract

A method includes searching, in response to a received policy query request, a preset policy library for a transmission policy that matches the policy query request, wherein the policy query request comprises hardware information of a transmitting end, hardware information of a receiving end, and data information of to-be-transmitted data in the transmitting end, and wherein the data information comprises a total data volume of the to-be-transmitted data, a data category comprised in the to-be-transmitted data, and a data volume of each data category, and feeding back a query result of the policy query request to the transmitting end.

Method and apparatus for deploying virtualised network function

In a recent patent filed by HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD., a method of deploying a virtualised network function (VNF) has been described. This innovative process involves a virtual network function manager (VNFM) obtaining a virtualized network function descriptor (VNFD) containing primary and secondary files with specified mapping relationships. The VNFM then selects a target file from the secondary files based on certain parameters and deploys the VNF accordingly. This patent showcases Huawei's ongoing commitment to advancing network technology in the digital age. Competitors in the telecommunications industry, such as Cisco and Nokia, will no doubt be keeping a close eye on developments like this. Potential uses for this technology could range from enhancing network efficiency and flexibility to streamlining the deployment of virtualized services in various industries. The implications for the future of network management are significant. As we consider the impact of this patent, one can't help but wonder: How might this method of deploying virtualized network functions revolutionize the way we approach network infrastructure in the years to come? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Abstract

In a method of deploying a virtualised network function (VNF), a virtual network function manager (VNFM) obtains a virtualized network function descriptor (VNFD) that includes a primary file and one or more secondary files that have a mapping relationship with the primary file. The primary file includes a deployment parameter of each secondary file, and a association relationship indicating that a value of a flavour parameter of the VNF is associated with the deployment parameter of the secondary file. The VNFM then determines a target file from the one or more secondary files based on the value of the flavour parameter of the VNF and deploy S the VNF based on the association relationship and a mapping relationship between the primary file and the target file.

Word completion method and apparatus

In a recent patent by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., a novel word completion method and apparatus have been described. This innovative approach aims to enhance word completion efficiency in a search scenario by utilizing an improved trie structure. Hot words strategically stored within the trie nodes assist in providing accurate word suggestions to users. Competitors in the field, such as Google's predictive text feature and Apple's QuickTy. pe, may face stiff competition if Huawei successfully implements this technology. Imagine the convenience of seamlessly completing words while typing on your smartphone or computer, all thanks to this advanced word completion method. The potential uses of this invention are vast, ranging from improving user experience in search engines to enhancing text messaging and email composition. By avoiding the common issue of recommending irrelevant words based on short character strings, Huawei's innovation shows promise in revolutionizing word completion technology. As we look towards a future where human-machine interaction continues to evolve, one cannot help but wonder: How will this enhanced word completion method impact the way we communicate and interact with our devices?

Abstract

A word completion method and apparatus are described. The method is applied to a search scenario and is used to complete an incomplete word entered by a user. The method is based on an improved trie. Hot words are stored in some nodes of the trie. In the word completion method, a target node that matches a character string is searched in the trie, and at least one completed word is output to a user based on a hot word stored in the target node. Word completion efficiency is improved, and a case in which a word is recommended to a user when the user enters an excessively short character string is avoided.
