Event Linkage Platform for Cross-System Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Enterprise organizations face difficulties in accessing comprehensive event lifecycle information across different systems involved in event processing, as these systems often lack linked information and identifiers, making it challenging to track and analyze events effectively.
Innovation Solution
A computing platform that receives event processing identifiers from multiple systems, generates linkage information, and stores it centrally, allowing for the retrieval of system-specific lifecycle information to create an event lifecycle interface, enabling administrators to view end-to-end transaction details without modifying existing systems or creating redundant data warehouses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a central data warehouse is created to store event data from multiple systems, then comprehensive event lifecycle information can be accessed, but system complexity and implementation cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an event linkage platform that acts as an intermediary between multiple event processing systems and users. This platform receives event processing identifiers from different systems, generates linkage information connecting these identifiers to a common event, and stores them in a centralized database. When users need event lifecycle information, the platform queries the relevant systems using the linkage information and presents a unified view, eliminating the need for users to access multiple systems directly while avoiding the complexity of a full data warehouse implementation.
2Reliability
If event data is replicated across all systems, then comprehensive tracking is enabled, but data redundancy and storage costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential event processing identifiers from each event processing system rather than replicating entire event datasets. The event linkage platform stores these identifiers along with linkage information that connects them to a common event. When comprehensive event information is needed, the platform queries the original systems using these identifiers, obtaining data on-demand without permanent replication. This approach enables reliable event tracking while minimizing data redundancy and storage requirements.
3Loss of information
If existing systems are modified to include unified event tracking, then comprehensive event information is available, but system disruption and implementation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the event tracking functionality into a separate, independent event linkage platform that does not modify existing event processing systems. The platform receives event processing identifiers from these systems through standard interfaces and handles all linkage and querying operations independently. This segmentation allows comprehensive event information to be achieved without disrupting or modifying the original systems, significantly easing implementation while maintaining information completeness.

AI summary
Aspects of the disclosure relate to enhanced tracking of processed events. A computing platform may receive event processing identifiers corresponding to a particular event. Using the event processing identifiers, the computing platform may generate event linkage information corresponding to the particular event, and may store the event processing identifiers along with the event linkage information. The computing platform may receive a request to access event lifecycle information corresponding to the particular event. Using the event linkage information, the computing platform may identify a plurality of event processing systems performed actions associated with the particular event. The computing platform may request and receive, from each of the plurality of event processing systems, system-specific event lifecycle information corresponding to the particular event. The computing platform may send an event lifecycle interface and one or more commands directing an administrator computing device to display the event lifecycle interface.
