Solution Overview

Problem

Existing e-commerce ERP systems face challenges in synchronizing order information in real-time due to limitations in the order information interface, leading to delays, missing orders, and increased risks of losses.

Innovation Solution

The proposed method involves using both the order information interface and the notification information interface to synchronize order information. The order management module creates a subscription notification for order status changes via the notification interface, allowing for real-time updates of order status information, which is then combined with the first order information obtained from the order interface to generate target order information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the synchronization interval time of order information is shortened, then the synchronization frequency is increased, but the order information interface will exceed the limit and cause significant delay in order information update

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesynchronization frequencyVSAvoidorder information update reliability

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the order information synchronization into two independent pathways: the order information interface for comprehensive order data and the notification information interface for real-time status changes. This segmentation allows each interface to operate at its own optimal frequency without interfering with the other, resolving the contradiction between synchronization frequency and update reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The notification information interface acts as an intermediary mechanism that complements the order information interface. It provides real-time status change notifications that trigger immediate synchronization of critical order status updates, ensuring reliability without requiring continuous high-frequency requests to the order information interface.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the synchronization interval time is extended, then the interface limit is avoided, but the order information update is delayed and may cause missing orders

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinterface limit complianceVSAvoidorder information update delay

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By dividing the synchronization function into two interfaces with different purposes, the system can extend the interval for comprehensive order data retrieval while maintaining real-time awareness through notification-based updates for critical status changes, thus avoiding both interface limits and time losses.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The notification information interface provides immediate feedback on order status changes, enabling the system to detect and respond to critical order events instantly without relying on periodic polling of the order information interface, thereby eliminating delays while maintaining interface compliance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Device complexity

If a single interface is used for order information synchronization, then the system is simple, but abnormalities occur such as insufficient order export time, order backlog, and missing order during peak periods

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesynchronization system complexityVSAvoidorder information completeness

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the single synchronization interface into two specialized interfaces: the order information interface for comprehensive data retrieval and the notification information interface for real-time status updates. This segmentation distributes the synchronization load and prevents abnormalities during peak periods while maintaining system manageability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The notification information interface serves multiple functions: it provides real-time status change notifications, triggers immediate synchronization for critical updates, and complements the order information interface during peak periods, thereby enhancing reliability without requiring a completely new system architecture.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A method for synchronizing order information and an e-commerce ERP. The method is applied to an order management module of e-commerce ERP, and the order management module includes an order template, and the method includes: obtaining data access authorities of an order information interface and a notification information interface of an e-commerce platform; when an order status changes, receiving, by the order management module, the second order information, and filling the second order information into the order template to generate target order information synchronized at that time; synchronizing, by the order management module, the first order information from the order information interface at interval time t1, and filling the first order information synchronized each time into the order template to generate target order information synchronized at that time; and configuring target order information newly generated in the order template as synchronized target order information.
