Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional airport service front-ends have outdated technical frameworks and complex internal logic, failing to meet the requirements for automatic and intelligent process-oriented services.

Innovation Solution

A method, apparatus, and system that determine a current master control system for departure services, switch to a functioning system if abnormal, and correct inconsistent data, utilizing either the Departure Control System (DCS) or Open Departure Control System (DC) as needed for automatic and intelligent processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If the conventional host templates are used in the airport service front-ends, then the existing technical framework is maintained, but the automatic and intelligent processing capability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic processing capabilityVSAvoidinternal implementation logic
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the departure service processing into distinct modules: master control system determination, system switching mechanism, and data correction components. This segmentation allows the complex processing logic to be divided into manageable functions that can operate independently, improving automation capability while reducing the complexity of the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary switching mechanism that mediates between the front-end service system and the master control systems (DCS/DC). This intermediary layer handles the complexity of system selection and data synchronization, enabling automatic processing without requiring the front-end to directly manage the complex interactions between multiple control systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If manual intervention is used in departure service processing, then system complexity is reduced, but processing efficiency is lowered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeparture service processing efficiencyVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service automation where the system automatically determines which master control system to use, switches between systems without manual intervention, and corrects data inconsistencies autonomously. The departure service processing becomes self-managing, eliminating the need for manual system selection and data verification while maintaining high processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If a single master control system is used, then system simplicity is maintained, but reliability is reduced when the system fails

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice continuityVSAvoidsystem configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent prepares for system failures by establishing a pre-configured switching mechanism that can immediately transition to an alternative master control system when the primary system fails. This beforehand cushioning ensures service continuity without requiring complex real-time decision-making, as the fallback system is predetermined and ready for immediate activation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically changes the operational parameter of master control system selection based on system availability and status. The system can switch between different master control systems (DCS or DC) by changing the control parameter, allowing flexible adaptation to system failures while maintaining operational simplicity through parameter-based configuration rather than complex architectural changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A port departure service processing method, apparatus and system. The method includes: determining the current master control system for executing a port departure service; during the process of executing the port departure service, if an error is detected in operating data of the current master control system, switching the unfinished port departure service to another normally operating system so as to continue execution; if the execution of the port departure service is not completed and after it is detected that the operating data of the current master control system returns to normal, switching to the current master control system to continue to execute the remaining port departure service; and after switching from the current master control system to the other system or switching from the other system back to the current master control system, correcting inconsistent data before and after switching.
