Request-Oriented Service Architecture for Flexible Network Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The development of new products or features in network services is hindered by the need for substantial time and effort, as existing approaches require substantial system integration and concrete implementation, leading to increased costs and delayed time-to-market.
Innovation Solution
A request-oriented service architecture (ROSA) that allows new products or features to be decoupled from the network and integrated into requests, using a communication integration platform to transform verb-noun requests into canonical forms, enabling decomposition into child requests and routing to appropriate resource managers for execution, thus reducing the burden on servers and improving flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If new products or features are integrated into the network using traditional service architectures, then system implementation is achieved, but development time and effort increase substantially
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the service architecture into request-oriented components where new products or features are decomposed into independent requests that can be processed separately. This allows parallel development and integration without requiring comprehensive system reconfiguration, thereby reducing development time and accelerating time-to-market while maintaining implementation quality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a request-oriented service architecture as an intermediary layer between the network infrastructure and new product implementations. This mediator translates implementation requirements into standardized requests, eliminating the need for direct system integration and substantially reducing development effort and time
2Ease of manufacture
If traditional service architectures are used for system integration, then product implementation is achieved, but development costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal request-oriented service architecture that can handle multiple product implementations through a common framework. This multi-functional approach allows the same infrastructure to support diverse products without requiring separate integration efforts for each, thereby reducing development costs while maintaining ease of implementation
3Adaptability or versatility
If concrete implementation approaches are used, then product features are delivered, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the implementation-specific logic from the core system architecture and encapsulates it within request objects. This separation allows the system to remain simple and stable while accommodating flexible service deployments through request variations, thereby reducing system integration complexity while maintaining deployment flexibility
Data Source
AI summary
An approach for providing a request in a request-oriented service architecture is described. A user interface is presented. A verb-noun request based on an input into a user interface causes generation of a transaction based on a feature, declaration information, an action to be performed on the feature, and a current state of the feature. A response is received indicating that the current state of the feature is updated, at least in part, by the transaction. An indication relating to the response is presented by the user interface.
