Management Server Service Integration via Supplemental Execution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems face challenges in easily providing a variety of services due to complex service provisioning processes, which require multiple requests and complicated service combinations.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system with a management server that identifies and executes both continuous and supplemental services based on client requests, allowing for the combination of services as components without modifying existing software, and enabling the execution of supplemental services triggered by specific conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple services are provided through separate requests and complex service combinations, then service functionality is comprehensive, but service provisioning complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple service execution processes into a single information processing device that can handle both continuous services and supplemental services. The device merges the functionality of identifying service requirements, selecting appropriate services, and executing them into one integrated system, thereby reducing provisioning complexity while maintaining comprehensive service functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The information processing device is designed with universal capabilities to handle different types of services (continuous and supplemental) through a unified interface. It can identify various service requirements, select appropriate services from multiple options, and execute them based on predetermined conditions, making the system adaptable to diverse service needs without increasing complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing software is modified to combine services, then service integration is achieved, but software maintenance difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments service integration into a separate information processing device that operates independently from existing software systems. Instead of modifying existing software to combine services, the new device receives service requirements, selects and executes appropriate services, and returns results, thereby achieving service integration without altering original software and maintaining ease of repair.
Solution Approach 2:
The information processing device acts as an intermediary between service requests and service execution. It mediates by identifying service requirements, selecting appropriate services, and coordinating their execution without requiring modifications to existing software systems. This intermediary approach achieves service integration while preserving the original software's maintainability.
3Extent of automation
If supplemental services are executed regardless of response return, then service automation is enhanced, but system control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by establishing predetermined conditions for executing supplemental services before actual service execution occurs. The information processing device is configured with pre-defined rules that automatically trigger supplemental services based on service execution results, client information, or other predetermined criteria. This automation reduces manual intervention while the predetermined nature of conditions keeps control complexity manageable.

AI summary
A management server is configured to, in response to a request from a client terminal, return a response to the client terminal. The management server includes a continuous service control unit, and a supplemental service control unit. The continuous service control unit executes a service corresponding to the request and returns a result of the execution to the client terminal as a response. Upon being triggered by execution of the service by the continuous service control unit, the supplemental service control unit executes a supplemental service corresponding to the request and transmits a result of the execution to a transmission destination corresponding to the supplemental service regardless of return of a response.
