Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Legacy mainframe computing systems efficiently process large data volumes but analyzing this data is complex and resource-heavy, requiring a solution to leverage their processing capabilities while making user interfaces accessible to modern computing platforms.
Innovation Solution
A system dynamically generates a transmission interface bridge using Graph Convolution Networks (GCN) to transform legacy user interfaces into HTML/CSS code, enabling cross-platform compatibility and user input emulation through an EHLLAPI, and deploying a Robotic Process Automation engine to replicate user actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If mainframe computing systems are used to process large data volumes, then processing efficiency is improved, but user interface accessibility to modern platforms deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a user interface bridge as an intermediary component that connects legacy mainframe systems to modern computing platforms. This bridge translates and adapts interface protocols, allowing modern devices to access mainframe resources without compromising the mainframe's processing efficiency or requiring direct integration
2Loss of information
If direct querying of mainframe systems is implemented, then data analysis capability is improved, but system complexity and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates virtual representations and models of mainframe data structures and interfaces. Instead of directly querying the complex mainframe system, the invention uses copied and simplified data models that can be analyzed on modern platforms, reducing system complexity while maintaining data analysis capability
3Adaptability or versatility
If legacy user interfaces are made accessible on modern platforms, then cross-platform compatibility is improved, but interface transformation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms legacy user interfaces by changing their representation parameters into modern formats such as HTML and CSS. This parameter transformation allows the same interface functionality to be rendered across different modern platforms without requiring complex custom integration for each platform
