Provisioning Server Automates Data Provider Setup
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Provisioning data transfer communications can be challenging and error-prone for users due to unclear and varying requirements across different data transfer networks, particularly affecting seniors, users with disabilities, and those uncomfortable with technology.
Innovation Solution
A provisioning server with a processor, communication subsystem, and memory that automatically performs data provider addition by receiving data transfer instructions, identifying matching templates, extracting data, and generating records for data providers, thereby simplifying the provisioning process without user input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If automated provisioning is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A provisioning server acts as an intermediary between users and data transfer networks, automatically collecting required information and generating provisioning data. The server receives requests from user devices, autonomously gathers necessary details from multiple sources, and delivers completed provisioning information back to users, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate complex provisioning procedures across different networks.
Solution Approach 2:
The provisioning system enables self-service by allowing user devices to automatically initiate provisioning requests without human intervention. The system autonomously identifies required information, collects it from appropriate sources, and completes the entire provisioning process automatically, making the service accessible to users regardless of their technical expertise or physical abilities.
2Manufacturing precision
If manual data collection is required, then manufacturing precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The provisioning server performs preliminary actions by proactively identifying and collecting all required provisioning information before the user needs it. The system determines what data is necessary in advance, automatically gathers it from various sources, and prepares complete provisioning packages ready for delivery, eliminating the need for users to manually collect and verify information.
Solution Approach 2:
The provisioning server serves as an intermediary that ensures provisioning accuracy by systematically collecting required information from authoritative sources and validating data before delivering it to users. The server maintains precise control over the provisioning process, ensuring all necessary details are accurately captured and verified.
3Adaptability or versatility
If information requirements vary by network, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The provisioning server provides universal functionality by maintaining a comprehensive framework that handles provisioning requirements for multiple different data transfer networks. The server identifies which networks are relevant to each user, automatically adapts to each network's specific information requirements, and generates appropriate provisioning data without requiring users to understand or configure network-specific parameters.
Data Source
AI summary
A provisioning server for automated provisioning and associated methods are disclosed. The provisioning server extracts data from a data transfer instruction for a data provider addition based on a matching data transfer instruction template, and parses the extracted data in accordance with the matching data transfer instruction template to identify an account identifier. Data transfer information for an identified data provider and an identified account identifier from a data provider database are determined. The data provider database comprises data provider information comprising data provider names for a plurality of data providers registered with the provisioning server. A data provider record is generated and stored in a data provider list of the account in an account database. The data provider record includes the identified data provider name, identified account identifier and the data transfer information.
