Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing length of identification numbers used for information operations becomes inconvenient and error-prone, leading to low operation efficiency due to their complexity and diversity.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that generate a short identification number corresponding to an original identification number, storing this relationship, and using the short identification number for operations, thereby reducing the number of digits and improving efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If identification numbers are used to identify information, then information can be uniquely identified, but the identification numbers become very long and complex, making operations inconvenient and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a short code as an intermediary between the user and the original identification number. The short code serves as a mediator that users interact with for convenient operations, while the system automatically translates it to the full identification number for accurate information retrieval, thus resolving the contradiction between operational convenience and identification accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a simplified copy (short code) of the original identification number. This copy retains the essential function of identifying information but in a condensed, easy-to-use form. The system maintains the correspondence between the short code copy and the original identification number, allowing users to operate with the simplified version while ensuring accurate access to the full information
2Adaptability or versatility
If identification numbers are extended to cover diverse product categories, then more information can be identified, but the length and complexity of identification numbers increase, reducing operation efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the identification system into two parts: a fixed-length short code for user interaction and a variable-length original identification number for comprehensive information representation. This segmentation allows the system to maintain adaptability for diverse information types through the original identification number while ensuring consistent operation efficiency through the standardized short code
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of identification number length by introducing a fixed-length short code (e.g., 4-8 digits) that remains constant regardless of the diversity of information categories. This parameter change decouples the relationship between information coverage and operation complexity, allowing the system to maintain high productivity while adapting to various information types

AI summary
An information operation method and apparatus are described to solve the technical problem in the prior art of inconvenient, error-prone, and ineffective use of an identification number with a long length for communication and information operation. The techniques of the present disclosure generate a short identification number corresponding to an original identification number; store the short identification number and a corresponding relationship between the original identification number and the short identification number; upon a receipt of an operation request that includes the short identification number, search for the original identification number corresponding to the short identification number carried in the operation request; and perform an operation based on information corresponding to the found original identification number. The techniques of the present disclosure replace the original identification number with the generated short identification number for communication and information operation, which are convenient and less error-prone and enhance the operation efficiency.
