Network Validation Anomaly Detection in Conglomerate Applications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern computing systems face challenges in detecting network operation validation anomalies in real-time due to the complexity of conglomerate-application-based ecosystems, where network operations are modified as they pass through multiple systems, leading to wasted computational resources and difficulty in diagnosing validation errors.
Innovation Solution
The system addresses this by validating each network operation at each software application within the ecosystem, tracking modifications, and providing real-time anomaly detection. It receives messages associated with network operations, determines the appropriate validation process, and prevents error-prone operations from being passed to downstream systems.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If validation is performed as a last step after all system processing, then system complexity is reduced and easier to implement, but computational resources are wasted processing error-prone messages through all systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing validation before message processing rather than after. The validation system validates messages at the boundary between systems, checking integrity and correctness before the message enters a new system. This prevents error-prone messages from being processed through subsequent systems, eliminating wasted computational resources while maintaining manageable system complexity through centralized validation at system boundaries.
2Productivity
If validation is performed at each system boundary, then computational resources are saved by preventing error processing, but system complexity increases due to multiple validation points
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the intermediary principle by introducing a validation system that acts as a mediator between processing systems. This validation intermediary sits at system boundaries and handles the validation function, allowing each processing system to remain simple while the centralized validation intermediary manages the complexity of checking multiple validation rules and preventing error propagation. This separates validation complexity from processing complexity.
3Reliability
If real-time validation is implemented, then anomaly detection improves and system downtime decreases, but measurement and detection difficulty increases due to complex conglomerate ecosystems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the validation function into discrete validation rules that can be independently defined and executed at each system boundary. Each validation rule checks specific message attributes (integrity, correctness, completeness) separately, making it easier to diagnose which rule failed and where the error occurred. This modular approach simplifies detection and measurement in complex conglomerate ecosystems by breaking down the validation process into manageable segments.

AI summary
Systems and methods for reducing wasted computational resources by detecting network operation validation anomalies in conglomerate-application-based ecosystems are disclosed. The system provides a first network operation to a first software application of a set of software applications, where (i) the first network operation is configured to be provided as input to the first software application and (ii) the first software application generates a second network operation as output, using the first network operation, to be provided to a second software application. The system receives a first message associated with a processing of the first network operation at the first software application. The system then performs a determined validation process on the first message. In response to detecting that the determined validation process results in a failure to validate the first message, the system prevents the second network operation from being provided to the second software application.
