Automated Behavior-Data Mapping via Contract Marketplace
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Developers of network sites face restrictions on including customized code, such as JavaScript, due to security concerns, which can lead to non-compliance with standards like PCI DSS, and existing solutions require manual linkage of behavior elements to data elements, making it difficult to manage and update dynamic behavior in network pages.
Innovation Solution
The system automatically maps behavior elements to data elements using a data contract marketplace service, allowing selection from validated code libraries based on marketplace rules and conditions, minimizing costs and ensuring compliance, and updates automatically without requiring static linkages.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If customized code is included in network pages to provide dynamic behavior, then functionality and adaptability are improved, but security compliance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a centralized code library and automated mapping service as intermediaries between developers and network pages. Instead of allowing direct inclusion of customized code (which creates security risks), the system provides pre-validated behavior elements through a controlled interface. The automated mapping service acts as a mediator that securely connects data elements to appropriate behavior elements without requiring developers to write custom code, thus maintaining both functionality and security compliance.
2Reliability
If manual linkage of behavior elements to data elements is performed, then compliance with security standards is maintained, but productivity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service through automated mapping. The system automatically matches data elements with appropriate behavior elements from the code library based on predefined criteria and marketplace rules. This eliminates the need for manual linkage while maintaining compliance, as the automated process follows established security guidelines. Developers simply define data elements, and the system handles the complex task of selecting and linking appropriate behavior elements automatically.
Solution Approach 2:
The code library contains pre-validated behavior elements that have been previously approved for security compliance. By preparing and validating code segments in advance rather than at the time of page creation, the system enables rapid deployment while maintaining security standards. The preliminary validation and categorization of behavior elements allows automated mapping to occur quickly without compromising compliance.
3Ease of manufacture
If static linkages are used to link behavior elements to data elements, then implementation simplicity is improved, but adaptability and ease of repair deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces static linkages with dynamic, automated mappings. Instead of hardcoding fixed relationships between behavior elements and data elements, the system establishes flexible mappings that can be automatically adjusted based on marketplace rules, conditions, and updates. When behavior elements are updated or replaced in the code library, the automated mapping service dynamically recalibrates connections without requiring manual intervention, thus maintaining both simplicity and adaptability.
4Adaptability or versatility
If developers write customized code for dynamic behavior, then functionality is improved, but device complexity and difficulty of detecting and measuring increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments functionality into separate, standardized components: data elements define the structure, behavior elements provide the dynamic functionality, and the automated mapping service connects them. This segmentation eliminates the need for developers to write complex customized code, as they can simply define data elements and let the system automatically select and link appropriate pre-built behavior elements. The complexity is managed centrally in the code library and mapping service rather than being distributed across individual page implementations.
Data Source
AI summary
Disclosed are various embodiments for the mapping of behavior to data. Multiple behavior elements from a code library that are compatible with one or more data elements of a document are automatically determined according to a data contract associated with each one of the behavior elements. Each of the behavior elements is configured to consume one or more data elements and produce a network page feature according to a behavior. One or more of the behavior elements are selected automatically according to a plurality of rules, thereby producing one or more selected behavior elements. A mapping of the one or more selected behavior elements to the one or more data elements is automatically generated.
