Innovation Solution
A method and system utilizing an orchestrator server to dynamically configure and autonomously manage software product solutions by integrating multiple application processes and modular applications based on configuration files, automating the configuration and execution of application processes, and minimizing manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional software development processes are used to build new product suites from scratch, then product customization is achieved, but development time and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments software products into reusable components, modules, and building blocks that can be independently developed, stored in a component library, and assembled through configuration files to create customized product suites without building from scratch
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-developing and storing reusable software components, templates, and building blocks in a component library during off-peak periods, enabling rapid assembly of customized products when needed without extensive development time
2Ease of operation
If manual intervention is used for updating and maintaining software solutions, then flexibility in management is achieved, but error rates increase and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms where the system automatically updates, scales, and maintains software solutions through orchestration servers that read configuration files and autonomously manage component assembly, deployment, and updates without manual intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback loops where the system monitors software performance and automatically triggers updates or adjustments based on configuration files, reducing errors by eliminating manual intervention while maintaining flexibility through automated decision-making
3Stability of the object's composition
If rigid product development processes are used, then development stability is maintained, but adaptability to evolving customer requirements decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamics by using configuration files that can be dynamically modified to assemble different product suites from the same component library, allowing the system to adapt to evolving customer requirements while maintaining stable underlying components and development processes
4Adaptability or versatility
If new product suites are built from scratch for each project, then complete customization is achieved, but component reusability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by creating a shared component library where software building blocks, templates, and modules can be reused across multiple projects and product suites, enabling complete customization through different assemblies of the same universal components
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges previously separate development efforts into a unified component library that serves multiple projects, combining reusable elements that can be assembled in different configurations to achieve complete customization without repeating development work
Data Source
AI summary
Disclosed method and system include a server that configures integration between multiple application processes and multiple modular applications based on multiple configuration files and a request to initiate one of the application processes. The server retrieves a configuration file associated with the application process and state information of the application process from a database. The configuration file includes states, transitions, and events. The server receives user information for the application process from a user device and determines the next step of the application process based on the state information, the user information, the set of states, the set of transitions, and the set of events. Upon determination of the next step, the server executes a request to at least one modular application integrated with the application process. The server repeats the determination and execution steps until the state information indicates completion of the application process.
