Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data privacy integration protocols struggle to efficiently integrate across multiple system landscapes, leading to resource wastage and increased risk of protocol failure due to suboptimal responder group configurations and lack of coordination between dependent and primary DPI service instances.

Innovation Solution

A cross-landscape integration approach that coordinates responder groups between primary and dependent DPI service instances, allowing for strategic participation of dependent landscape applications in DPI protocol execution without requiring detailed knowledge of the secondary landscape by the primary DPI service instance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the primary DPI service instance sends protocol commands to all applications in the first landscape without coordination with the dependent DPI service instance, then the protocol execution is simpler, but the resource usage is suboptimal and protocol failure risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotocol execution complexityVSAvoidprotocol failure risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The primary DPI serviceinstance sends a first command to the dependent DPI serviceinstance before executing the protocol, instructing it to send protocol commands to a first subset of applications in the second landscape. This preliminary coordination ensures that the dependent serviceinstance is prepared and configured correctly before full protocol execution begins, reducing the risk of protocol failure while maintaining a relatively simple execution structure.

2Use of energy by moving object

If the primary DPI service instance coordinates with the dependent DPI serviceinstance to send protocol commands to subsets of applications, then the resource usage is optimized, but the coordination complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource usage efficiencyVSAvoidcoordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The applications in both landscapes are divided into subsets based on responder group configurations. The primary DPI serviceinstance sends protocol commands to a first subset of applications in the first landscape and coordinates with the dependent DPI serviceinstance to send commands to a second subset of applications in the second landscape. This segmentation allows for optimized resource usage by processing applications in manageable groups while reducing the coordination complexity through structured subset management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Device complexity

If the primary DPI service instance processes all applications sequentially without strategic ordering, then the processing is simpler, but the resource consumption increases and protocol failure risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing simplicityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

Applications are assigned to different responder groups with different priorities and resource consumption characteristics. The primary and dependent DPI serviceinstances process applications from different responder groups in a coordinated manner, allowing high-resource consumption applications to be processed strategically rather than uniformly. This local quality differentiation optimizes resource consumption while maintaining processing simplicity through automated group-based routing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for integrating data privacy integration protocols across system landscapes. One example method includes receiving, at a primary data privacy integration service, a request to start a data privacy integration protocol in a first landscape. The primary service sends a protocol command to a first subset of applications in the first landscape and a first command to a dependent data privacy integration service included in a second landscape that instructs the dependent data privacy integration service to send the protocol command to a first subset of the applications in the second landscape. The primary service receives responses to the protocol command from the first subset of the first landscape applications and an aggregate status from the dependent service that aggregates responses to the protocol command received by the dependent service from the first subset of the second landscape applications.
