Secure Transaction Network Interoperability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing transaction frameworks fail to seamlessly integrate and facilitate secure, efficient, and consistent transactions across multiple discrete systems and environments within and outside an organization, leading to discrepancies and inefficiencies in data exchange and transaction processing.
Innovation Solution
A secure transaction network is developed, enabling interoperability between systems by using a transaction execution engine that coordinates transactions, maintains repositories for transaction records, and ensures consistency through association of parameters across different naming conventions, allowing for independent system operations while ensuring security and reliability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple discrete systems operate independently with their own naming conventions, then system autonomy and flexibility are maintained, but transaction consistency and interoperability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a transaction coordination layer that acts as an intermediary between independent systems. This layer receives transactions from various systems, standardizes them using a common transaction model with unified parameter naming conventions, and routes them to appropriate destinations. The intermediary translates between different system-specific naming conventions and the standardized model, enabling interoperability while preserving system autonomy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms transaction parameters from system-specific naming conventions into a standardized parameter model. By changing the parameter representation to a universal format with consistent naming and data types, the system enables seamless interoperability between discrete systems while maintaining their operational independence.
2Reliability
If transaction coordination and verification mechanisms are implemented across multiple systems, then transaction security and reliability are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the transaction coordination functionality into separate, modular components: transaction validation module, routing module, coordination module, and verification module. Each component performs a specific function and can be independently implemented and maintained. This segmentation reduces overall system complexity by breaking down the coordination task into manageable, specialized units.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal transaction model and coordination protocol that can handle multiple types of transactions across different systems through a single standardized interface. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate coordination mechanisms for each system or transaction type, reducing complexity while maintaining comprehensive security and reliability.
3Manufacturing precision
If a standardized transaction model with common parameter naming conventions is imposed on independent systems, then interoperability and data consistency are improved, but system flexibility and independence deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The standardized transaction model serves as an intermediary representation layer. Systems continue to operate with their own internal naming conventions and data structures, but when exchanging transactions, they translate to the standardized model and back. This intermediary approach ensures data consistency during transactions while preserving system flexibility and independence.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of requiring systems to adopt the standardized model internally (which would reduce flexibility), the patent inverts the approach: systems maintain their own models internally, and the standardization occurs only during transaction exchange through translation layers. This inversion preserves system independence while achieving interoperability.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods are disclosed for secure transaction networks. In one implementation, a first transaction record, including first parameter(s), generated by a first entity, and directed to a second entity, is received. The first transaction record is processed to determine whether at least one of the first parameter(s) are consistent with parameter(s) utilized by the second entity. Based on the processing, a second transaction record, including second parameter(s) that correspond to the first parameter(s), is generated. Operation(s) are initiated with respect to the second transaction record.
