Message-Based Interface System for Heterogeneous Business Data Exchange
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current business interfaces are not consistent across industries and businesses, leading to difficulties in exchanging information due to differences in programming, semantics, and formatting, requiring human intervention and limiting efficient transactions between heterogeneous systems.
Innovation Solution
A message-based interface system derived from a common business object model, enabling consistent semantics and hierarchical organization to facilitate information exchange across heterogeneous applications, using universally unique identifiers and web universal resource identifiers to ensure interoperability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If heterogeneous programs are used by different businesses or business areas, then each program can handle its specific business purpose with customized semantics and formatting, but information exchange between these programs becomes difficult and requires human interaction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a message-based interface as an intermediary layer between heterogeneous business programs. This interface uses standardized message packages containing universally unique identifiers (UUIDs) and web universal resource identifiers (URIs) to enable automated information exchange while preserving the customization of individual business programs. The intermediary translates between different business semantics and a common message structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If individual businesses use their own semantics and formatting for information, then each business entity can maintain its specific business logic and requirements, but the exchange of information between businesses becomes a difficult task
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal message-based interface that can handle multiple business domains and semantics through a common structure. The message packages use standardized fields such as universally unique identifiers (UUIDs) and web universal resource identifiers (URIs) that can represent different business concepts across various industries, reducing interface complexity while maintaining business-specific semantics.
3Ease of operation
If standards exist that offer interfaces for exchanging business information, then information exchange can be facilitated, but these interfaces are not consistent between different standards and within individual standards
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements homogeneous message packages with consistent structure and semantics across different business domains. All message packages use the same fundamental fields including universally unique identifiers (UUIDs) for entity identification and web universal resource identifiers (URIs) for resource location, ensuring interface consistency while enabling information exchange across heterogeneous systems.
Data Source
AI summary
A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a user feed administrator, a user feed event link and/or a user feed settings business object.
