Solution Overview

Problem

In virtual computer environments, errors can occur when identifiers of virtual processors are changed or updated, leading to potential unauthorized access or processing errors.

Innovation Solution

A bidirectional application programming interface (API) is implemented to manage data processing particulars, including virtual processor identifiers, by allowing provider systems to confirm and update these particulars with subscriber systems, reducing error rates and ensuring only valid access is maintained.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If virtual processor identifiers are changed or updated, then system adaptability is improved, but error rate increases and unauthorized access risk worsens

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevirtual processor identifier update capabilityVSAvoiddata processing error rate

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary validation of virtual processor identifiers before data processing operations. The validation mechanism checks identifier authenticity in advance, preventing errors caused by outdated or invalid identifiers while allowing legitimate updates to proceed smoothly.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where validation results are communicated back to the data processing system. When an identifier is validated as invalid or outdated, the system receives feedback to either reject the operation or prompt for an updated identifier, thereby preventing processing errors.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If virtual processor identifiers are changed or updated, then system adaptability is improved, but security risk worsens due to potential unauthorized access

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevirtual processor identifier update capabilityVSAvoidunauthorized access risk

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary validation of virtual processor identifiers before allowing data processing operations. This advance checking ensures that only authenticated and authorized identifiers can access the system, preventing unauthorized access attempts before they can cause harm.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The validation mechanism acts as an intermediary between the data processing system and the virtual processor identifiers. It mediates access by verifying identifier authenticity and controlling whether the identifier can proceed to data processing, thereby blocking unauthorized access while allowing legitimate operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If validation of data processing particulars is performed, then data processing reliability is improved, but system complexity worsens

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata processing validityVSAvoidAPI system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The validation mechanism is designed as a universal component that can validate multiple types of data processing particulars (identifiers, parameters, etc.) through a single interface. This multi-functional approach consolidates what could be multiple separate validation systems into one unified mechanism, reducing overall complexity while maintaining comprehensive validation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The validation mechanism serves as an intermediary layer between the application programming interface and the data processing operations. By centralizing validation logic in this intermediary layer, the system avoids scattering validation code throughout multiple components, thereby reducing overall system complexity while ensuring thorough validation of all data processing particulars.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A computer system comprises at least one processor; a communications module coupled to the at least one processor; and a memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to provide a bidirectional application programming interface that interfaces between at least one provider system and at least one subscriber system, the bidirectional application programming interface configured to allow the at least one provider system to make requests of the at least one subscriber system and to allow the at least one subscriber system to make requests of the at least one provider system; receive, from a subscriber system, an application programming interface request that includes a request to confirm data processing particulars; identify, based on the data processing particulars, a provider system associated with the data processing particulars; send, to the provider system, the request to confirm the data processing particulars; receive, from the provider system, an indication that the data processing particulars are no longer valid and updated data processing particulars that are valid; and send, to the subscriber system, a response to the application programming interface request that includes the indication that the data processing particulars are no longer valid and the updated data processing particulars that are valid.
