Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing length and complexity of identification numbers used in information operations lead to inefficiencies and errors in communication and data processing, particularly in systems like product libraries where long product numbers are cumbersome and prone to mistakes.
Innovation Solution
Generating a short identification number corresponding to an original identification number, storing this relationship, and using the short ID for operations, which reduces the number of digits and enhances operational efficiency and accuracy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If original identification numbers are used for information operations, then information can be uniquely identified, but the operation efficiency decreases and error rate increases due to long length
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the identification process into two parts: a short identification number for user interaction and a unique original identification number for system processing. The short ID acts as a segmented representation that maintains uniqueness while reducing length, thereby improving operation efficiency without sacrificing identification accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The short identification number serves as an intermediary between the user and the original identification number. Instead of users directly handling long original IDs, they interact with shortened versions that are mapped to the originals through a correspondence relationship stored in the system, thus improving usability while maintaining identification integrity.
2Measurement precision
If original identification numbers are used for communication, then precise information reference is achieved, but communication convenience deteriorates due to complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a simplified copy of the original identification number in the form of a short ID. This copy retains the essential function of unique identification while being much shorter and easier to communicate. The correspondence relationship ensures that the copy accurately references the original, maintaining precision while improving convenience.
3Productivity
If short identification numbers are generated, then operation efficiency and convenience are improved, but system complexity increases due to mapping management
Solution Approach 1:
The correspondence relationship between short IDs and original IDs serves multiple functions: it enables efficient user interaction with shortened identifiers, maintains unique identification through mapping, and provides a basis for bidirectional lookup. This multi-functional component justifies the added system complexity by delivering significant operational benefits.

AI summary
An information operation method and apparatus are described to solve the technical problem in the prior art of inconvenient, error-prone, and ineffective use of an identification number with a long length for communication and information operation. The techniques of the present disclosure generate a short identification number corresponding to an original identification number; store the short identification number and a corresponding relationship between the original identification number and the short identification number; upon a receipt of an operation request that includes the short identification number, search for the original identification number corresponding to the short identification number carried in the operation request; and perform an operation based on information corresponding to the found original identification number. The techniques of the present disclosure replace the original identification number with the generated short identification number for communication and information operation, which are convenient and less error-prone and enhance the operation efficiency.
