Solution Overview

Problem

Integration between third-party applications and vendor services is time-consuming and risky, requiring vendors to be proficient in multiple platforms, and there is a desire for a standard integration across all platforms without direct API integration.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic stub is inserted into a webpage to interface with a third-party application, allowing access to vendor services within the third-party application platform, extracting and transmitting data without direct communication with the third-party application system, and modifying the user interface based on middleware system information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If direct API integration is used between third-party applications and vendor services, then integration reliability is improved, but integration complexity and time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration reliabilityVSAvoidintegration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a webpage-based intermediary interface that acts as a mediator between third-party applications and vendor services. Instead of direct API integration, the system uses a standardized webpage template with embedded forms that captures user inputs and transmits them to vendor services. This intermediary layer simplifies integration by providing a universal interface that works across multiple third-party platforms without requiring platform-specific API implementations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If direct API integration is implemented across multiple third-party platforms, then service functionality is improved, but integration time and vendor proficiency requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice functionalityVSAvoidintegration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal webpage-based interface that can be deployed across multiple third-party application platforms. The standardized form template serves multiple functions: capturing user inputs, validating data, and transmitting information to vendor services. This universal approach allows the same interface design to work across different platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Workday, BambooHR) without requiring separate integration implementations for each platform, thereby reducing integration time and vendor proficiency requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Manufacturing precision

If platform-specific integration methods are used, then integration precision is improved, but adaptability across different platforms decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration precisionVSAvoidplatform adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the integration process into distinct layers: a standardized webpage interface layer that handles user interactions uniformly across all platforms, and a backend transmission layer that handles platform-specific data routing. The form template is segmented into standardized fields that can be mapped to different platform-specific data structures. This segmentation allows the interface to maintain high precision for each platform while preserving adaptability across multiple platforms through the standardized front-end layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Systems and methods are disclosed for application data amalgamation through integration with third-party applications. A dynamic stub operates within a user interface application on a client computing device. The dynamic stub enables integration of functionality of an associated middleware system. The dynamic stub extracts data from a user interface of a third-party application system based on a set of data capture components. The dynamic stub transmits data to the middleware system. The middleware system transmits information back to the dynamic stub based on the data. The middleware system can reconfigure the dynamic stub in order to alter at least a portion of the user interface based on the information received from the middleware system.
