Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing service development on the Internet is inefficient due to tightly integrated applications, making it difficult to create new services that reuse components from legacy services without substantial new code development for processing flows.
Innovation Solution
A method to decouple methods from legacy services and match them with generic methods within a conversation data structure, allowing for the creation of new services by replacing generic method names with specific ones, enabling modular and reusable service instances.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If applications are tightly integrated with rigid processing flows, then system stability and reliability are maintained, but service development efficiency and adaptability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the rigid integrated applications into independent service components that can be selectively combined. Each application is extracted as an independent unit with its own processing logic, allowing new services to be assembled from these segments without requiring modifications to the original integrated systems, thus maintaining stability while enabling efficient development.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts processing logic from the tightly coupled applications and represents it as independent service components. This extraction allows the processing flows to be separated from their original application contexts, enabling reuse in different service compositions without affecting the source applications' stability.
2Reliability
If applications are tightly coupled with processing flows, then execution reliability is ensured, but code reusability and service adaptability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates universal service components that can function independently across multiple different service compositions. These components are designed with standardized interfaces and independent processing logic, allowing them to be adapted to various service flows and contexts without requiring custom development for each scenario.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic service composition capabilities where processing flows can be dynamically assembled and reconfigured based on specific service requirements. This dynamic nature allows the same set of independent components to adapt to different processing scenarios without compromising execution reliability, as each component maintains its independent logic regardless of composition context.
3Adaptability or versatility
If new services are created by instantiating new applications, then service functionality is achieved, but development time and code complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges existing service components and processing logic into new service compositions by combining independent units in different configurations. This merging approach allows new services to be created by assembling proven components rather than building from scratch, significantly reducing development time while maintaining full functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary extraction and standardization of processing logic into reusable service components before new services are needed. This preliminary action creates a library of pre-tested, independent components that can be quickly assembled for new services, eliminating the need to rewrite processing logic for each new service requirement.
