Entity Engine for Centralized Persistent Data Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional software products and computing platforms face challenges in managing and storing persistent business data, as external services can be cumbersome and decentralized, leading to configuration and communication issues, and disjointed user experiences.
Innovation Solution
The entity engine, a processor-executable code, provides a persistent data storage service that models and integrates entities to store and manage data, allowing for seamless access and manipulation of data within the computing platform, eliminating the need for external services by integrating authentication and authorization operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If external services are used to store and manage persistent business data, then data storage capacity is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to configuration and communication issues
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the data storage and management functionality into the computing platform itself by introducing an entity engine that provides persistent data storage service internally. This eliminates the need for external services and integrates authentication, authorization, and data management operations within the platform, thereby reducing configuration complexity while maintaining storage capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The entity engine acts as an intermediary component within the computing platform that mediates between software products and persistent data storage. It provides a standardized interface for data access and management, eliminating the need for complex external service configurations and REST queries while maintaining data storage capabilities.
2Quantity of substance
If external services are used to store persistent business data, then data storage is improved, but ease of operation worsens due to disjointed user experiences
Solution Approach 1:
By merging data storage operations into the computing platform through the entity engine, the patent creates a unified data access experience. Users can access persistent data through the same interface and authentication mechanisms used for other platform operations, eliminating disjointed experiences associated with external services.
3Quantity of substance
If external services are used for data management, then data storage capacity is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to configuration and communication issues
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges data storage and management operations into the computing platform's internal entity engine, eliminating external service dependencies. This integration improves reliability by removing configuration and communication issues between separate systems while maintaining data storage capacity through standardized internal operations.
Data Source
AI summary
A computing device including a memory and a processor is provided. The memory stores processor executable instructions for an entity engine. The processor is coupled to the memory. The processor executes the entity engine to cause the computing device to model entities, which hold or classify data. The processor executes the entity engine to cause the computing device to store in the memory a list identifying each of the entities and the entities themselves in correspondence with the list. The processor executes the entity engine to cause the computing device to provide, in response to a selection input from an external system, access to the entities based on the list. The access includes providing the list to the external system, receiving the selection input identifying a first entity of the entities, and exporting the first entity from the memory to the external system.
