Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical creation of integration scenarios with an AI-based automated system. The generative AI model processes natural language requests and automatically generates integration scenarios, replacing the manual task of creating scenarios step-by-step across multiple systems with an automated intelligent system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service scenario generation where users can directly request integration scenarios through natural language without requiring manual configuration of complex system connections. The AI system autonomously analyzes requirements, identifies relevant systems and APIs, and generates appropriate integration scenarios automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of time

If repetitive tasks are performed manually, then control over each step is maintained, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the AI system validates generated scenarios against system capabilities and constraints. The system iteratively refines scenarios based on feedback from system validation, ensuring both time efficiency and execution reliability by catching errors during the generation process rather than during manual assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary validation and optimization of integration scenarios during the generation phase rather than during execution. By pre-validating scenario steps, system compatibility, and data format requirements, the system reduces time consumption while ensuring reliability before the scenario is executed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple connectors and adapters are added manually, then system integration capability is enhanced, but complexity and error rates increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem integration capabilityVSAvoidconnector and adapter complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a universal AI system that handles multiple integration tasks through a single unified model. The generative AI model can generate various types of connectors and adapters for different system combinations without requiring separate specialized tools, thereby enhancing integration capability while reducing overall system complexity through multi-functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts connector and adapter configurations based on the specific system requirements and data formats involved. By changing parameters such as data formats, communication protocols, and system interfaces according to the generation request, the system achieves versatile integration capability without manually configuring each connection detail.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

The disclosure generally describes methods, software, and systems for generation of a configurable and executable integration scenario. A request to generate a data sequence integration scenario is received. The request includes one or more textual requirements. The request is validated by processing the one or more textual requirements to determine inclusion of a minimal number of systems and actions. An intent and a context of the request are determined, using a first prediction engine, from the one or more textual requirements. The intent includes top-ranked systems and APIs matching the request. The intent and the context of the request are inputted as a prompt to a second prediction engine. The data sequence integration scenario is received, from the second prediction engine, responsive to the prompt. The data sequence integration scenario defines an order of the actions to be performed by the top-ranked systems and APIs matching the request.
