Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional program integrated information (PII) translation management faces challenges in cloud environments where multiple versions of an application coexist, leading to complexity and inefficiency in managing PII translations.

Innovation Solution

A method that determines PII translations for base and subsequent versions, records differences in a data structure with nodes correlating to application versions, and retrieves PII translations efficiently by traversing the data structure based on PII keys, allowing for the coexistence of different application versions without redundant storage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional PII translation management is used in cloud environments with multiple application versions, then complete PII translation storage for each version is achieved, but storage efficiency deteriorates and system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovePII translation completenessVSAvoidtranslation management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments PII translation management into version-specific and common components. It separates translations into three categories: base version translations, new version translations, and common translations shared across versions. This segmentation allows the system to store only unique translations for each version while sharing common ones, reducing overall storage requirements and management complexity in multi-version cloud environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a universal translation storage structure where common PII translations can be shared across multiple application versions. The translation storage unit is designed to serve multiple versions simultaneously, allowing a single translation resource to be universally accessed by different versions, thereby improving storage efficiency and reducing redundancy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If traditional PII translation management stores all translations for each version, then translation availability is improved, but storage efficiency deteriorates due to redundant storage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranslation availabilityVSAvoidstorage efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts common PII translations from version-specific storage and places them in a separate common translation storage area. By taking out the redundant common translations from each version's storage, the system maintains full translation availability for all versions while eliminating duplicate storage, thus improving storage efficiency without compromising translation accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimensional organization to translation storage by adding a version-dimension to the traditional translation storage model. Instead of storing translations in a single flat structure per version, it creates a multi-dimensional storage structure that separates translations by version specificity (base, new, common), allowing efficient retrieval while reducing redundancy across versions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Loss of information

If full PII translations are stored for each application version, then translation completeness is improved, but retrieval complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranslation completenessVSAvoidretrieval simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary organization of translations into version-specific and common categories during the translation import process. By pre-sorting and tagging translations with version information before retrieval operations, the system enables faster and simpler retrieval without requiring complex searches at query time, thus maintaining completeness while improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Methods, systems, computer program products for Program Integrated Information (PII) translation management of an application are provided. The method, according to an embodiment of the present invention, PII translation corresponding to the application of a base version is determined as PII translation of a base version by one or more processing units, and then differences between PII translation corresponding to the application of a subsequent version and PII translation of the base version is determined as PII translation of a subsequent version. Then, in a data structure, it is recorded with PII translation of the base version as a starting node of the data structure and PII translation of the subsequent version as a subsequent node of the starting node, wherein nodes in the data structure are correlated to and accessible to the application of corresponding versions.
