Hierarchical Routing for Cross-Boundary Service Networks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies lack effective engineering methods and operation support carriers for the governance and aggregation of cross-boundary services distributed throughout a network, particularly in providing efficient and reliable operation support for cross-boundary service networks.
Innovation Solution
A hierarchical routing method is proposed that involves referencing services with similar functions, establishing a unified usage view, and mapping ordinary services to these references, with automatic selection of the optimal service based on routing strategies for high-speed service calls, utilizing data mining, domain expert revisions, and semantic similarity calculations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If cross-boundary services are integrated across different industries and organizations, then service quality and user value are improved, but system complexity and governance difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex cross-boundary service network into hierarchical layers: service registration layer, service routing layer, and service execution layer. Each layer handles specific functions independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining integration capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces service gateways and service routers as intermediary components that mediate between different service providers and consumers. These intermediaries standardize interfaces and protocols, enabling integration across organizational boundaries without direct complex connections between all services.
2Productivity
If service routing is optimized for high-speed operation, then service call efficiency is improved, but routing algorithm complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements service registration and capability publishing before actual service calls occur. Service providers pre-register their services and capabilities in a service registry, enabling service routers to perform simple lookup-based routing instead of complex real-time optimization, thus improving efficiency without excessive algorithmic complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates service abstract models and capability templates that represent service functionalities. Instead of routing based on detailed service implementations, the system uses these simplified copies/models for routing decisions, reducing algorithmic complexity while maintaining routing effectiveness.

AI summary
The present invention discloses a hierarchical routing method oriented to a cross-boundary service network. The hierarchical routing method includes the following steps: (1): proposing reference services for services with same or similar functions in a service network, with differences in format and usage mode, and establishing a unified and standardized usage view for a user; and (2): establishing a method for mapping between the reference services and ordinary services to map the multiple ordinary services with similar functions into the unified reference services, and automatically selecting an optimal ordinary service when called by the user. The hierarchical routing method provided by the present invention can implement high-speed routing of service call in the service network, thereby providing a basis for aggregation and interoperation of cross-boundary services.
