Event Subscription Processor for Centralized Task Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In organizations, computer-executable tasks and functions are often duplicated across multiple computing systems, leading to inefficient use of computing and processing power, which is costly and time-consuming to rectify through operational modifications of legacy systems.
Innovation Solution
An event management framework that utilizes an event subscription processor to detect and publish computer-executable events, allowing centralized execution and management across an enterprise network, enabling tasks to be created, modified, and executed without programming, using configuration and scripting to reduce duplication and enhance efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If computer-executable tasks are distributed across multiple computing systems, then system autonomy and flexibility are improved, but task duplication and inefficient use of computing power occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an event subscription processor as an intermediary component that sits between multiple computing systems and coordinates task execution. This processor receives event notifications, determines which computing system should execute each task, and routes tasks appropriately, thereby eliminating duplication while preserving system flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The event subscription processor serves multiple functions: it acts as an event receiver, task router, execution coordinator, and duplicate prevention mechanism. By consolidating these functions in a single component, the system achieves centralized control over distributed computing resources without requiring modifications to individual computing systems.
2Productivity
If operational modifications are made to legacy computing systems to eliminate task duplication, then computing efficiency is improved, but implementation cost and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
Rather than modifying legacy computing systems, the patent introduces an external event subscription processor that interfaces with these systems through standard event notification mechanisms. This approach eliminates the need for intrusive modifications to legacy code while still achieving efficient task coordination and duplicate prevention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent separates the task coordination function from the business logic of individual computing systems. By extracting the event subscription and task routing functionality into a dedicated processor, the system achieves efficiency improvements without requiring changes to the core operations of legacy systems.
3Reliability
If centralized event management is implemented, then task execution consistency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The event subscription processor consolidates multiple management functions into a single component, including event reception, task routing, execution monitoring, and duplicate prevention. This centralization improves execution consistency while containing complexity within a dedicated component rather than distributing it across multiple systems.
Data Source
AI summary
An enterprise system for an event management framework is described where an event subscription processor detects and/or creates computer-executable events, which are then published on user interface of multiple computing devices configured to subscribe, process, and execute the computer-executable events. The event subscription processor may enable processing and execution of one or more computer-executable events in a mode that the computer-executable event execution and management is centralized, and performed in a consistent manner within an organization. The event subscription processor allow the computer-executable event execution tasks/processes to be easily created, modified, and managed in one single enterprise system.
