Concentrated Access Interface for Distributed HLR Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing systems for Business Operations Support System (BOSS) access to distributed Home Location Register (HLR) systems require cross-regional network deployments, increasing network construction costs and security risks due to the need for multiple data access servers across different geographical locations, and lack knowledge of load conditions within the HLR system.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a concentrated access system where the BOSS system accesses the distributed HLR system through a single, centralized access point, utilizing a concentrated access interface machine that selects the appropriate data access server based on user identifiers and load conditions, and updates historical distribution records for efficient business processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the BOSS system accesses multiple data access servers of the distributed HLR system concurrently, then the business acceptance processing capability is improved, but the network deployment complexity increases and cross-regional access is required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a concentrated access interface machine as an intermediary component between the BOSS system and the distributed HLR system. This interface machine consolidates access to multiple data access servers through a single access point, enabling the BOSS system to process business acceptance requests from multiple regions without requiring complex cross-regional network deployment. The intermediary handles the complexity of accessing distributed servers while presenting a simplified interface to the BOSS system.
2Productivity
If the distributed HLR system exposes multiple access points to networks, then the business processing capacity is increased, but the network security of the HLR system is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple access points into a single concentrated access interface machine. Instead of exposing multiple data access servers directly to external networks, the system combines their access functions through one secure interface. This consolidation maintains the business processing capacity by preserving access to all necessary servers while reducing the attack surface and improving network security through a unified security boundary.
3Device complexity
If the BOSS system adopts a simple distribution policy for multiple data access servers, then the system complexity is reduced, but the load balancing efficiency is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The concentrated access interface machine implements a load balancing mechanism that monitors the load conditions of multiple data access servers and dynamically adjusts request distribution accordingly. The system collects feedback information about server performance and uses this data to optimize the allocation of business acceptance requests, achieving efficient load balancing without requiring complex policies at the BOSS system level. The interface machine handles the complexity of load monitoring and distribution automatically.

AI summary
The disclosure discloses a system for implementing concentrated access to a Business Operations Support System (BOSS), including: a plurality of HLR subsystems and at least one BOSS subsystem. Correspondingly, the disclosure further discloses a method for implementing concentrated access to a BOSS, including: an HLR subsystem is specified for performing concentrated access to each BOSS subsystem; the BOSS subsystem sends a business processing request to the specified HLR subsystem; the specified HLR subsystem forwards the business processing request to a corresponding HLR subsystem; and the corresponding HLR subsystem feeds the business processing information back to the BOSS subsystem by the specified HLR subsystem. By the system and method, the BOSS system can access to the distributed HLR system only from one concentrated access point without the cross-regional access to the distributed HLR system, so that the network construction cost is reduced.
