Proxy Processor for Seamless Data Feed Transactions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data feeds disconnect users from the feed when they select an item for purchase or viewing, requiring manual reconnection after completing transactions, which is inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a proxy processor system that dynamically selects a suitable proxy processor based on recommendation scores for handling item acquisitions, allowing transactions to be completed without leaving the data feed, by aggregating steps and interacting with third-party websites.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a user selects an item in a data feed that redirects to another website, then the user can access the item details or complete a purchase, but the user is disconnected from the data feed and must manually reconnect afterward
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a proxy server as an intermediary between the user's browser and the third-party website. When a user selects an item in the data feed, the proxy server handles the authentication and transaction processes with the third-party website in the background, allowing the user to remain on the data feed page and automatically complete the transaction without manual reconnection.
2Productivity
If the system implements automatic proxy processor selection based on recommendation scores, then the transaction processing efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the system automatically selects the most appropriate proxy processor based on pre-calculated recommendation scores. The proxy processors themselves maintain their own performance metrics and availability status, allowing the data feed system to automatically route transactions without manual intervention or complex configuration, thereby improving efficiency while keeping the selection mechanism relatively simple.
Data Source
AI summary
Automatically selecting a proxy processor for handling requests for information related items in a data feed to avoid navigating to a third-party site. The data feed includes displaying a scrollable list of items for selection. The disclosed technology generates recommendation scores associated with respective proxy processors. A recommendation score is based on a weighted sum of parameters associated with acquiring an item using a proxy processor. Selecting a proxy processor includes ranking the proxy processor using the recommendation scores. The selected proxy processor communicates with a plurality of item providers and retailers for a consolidated acquisition process. The disclosed technology further maintains the user on the data feed.
