Consolidated Token Routing in Single Network Hop
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tokenization schemes require separate generation and routing of tokens for each transaction, leading to inefficient use of network and computing resources, as multiple transactions from the same user often necessitate multiple network hops.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a token routing component that consolidates the routing of tokens associated with a single user into a single network hop by caching user account metadata and device reference data, determining relatedness based on criteria such as user identity, device association, and temporal proximity, and routing tokens together when a predefined threshold of relatedness is met.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate tokens are generated and routed for each transaction, then transaction security is maintained, but network and computing resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple token routing operations into a single consolidated routing process. When multiple transactions are detected from the same user account, the system consolidates their routing into one network hop, thereby reducing redundant network traffic and computing operations while maintaining the security benefits of tokenization for each transaction
2Productivity
If multiple network hops are used for multiple transactions, then individual transaction processing is ensured, but resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines multiple separate network routing operations into a single consolidated routing operation. By detecting multiple transactions from the same user and routing them together in one network hop, the patent reduces the quantity of network resources consumed while maintaining individual transaction processing integrity
3Adaptability or versatility
If tokens are routed separately, then transaction independence is maintained, but device battery usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple token routing operations into a single consolidated operation that reduces the number of network hops. This consolidation decreases the energy consumption of mobile devices while maintaining transaction independence through proper token generation and routing, as each transaction still receives its own secure token but through an optimized routing process
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure is directed to consolidated token routing. First data corresponding to a request to conduct a first transaction is analyzed. A first token is generated for the first transaction. Second data corresponding to a request to conduct a second transaction is analyzed. A second token is generated for the second transaction. In response to determining that at least a first component of the first data corresponds to a first component of the second data, a routing of the first token and a routing of the second token are consolidated. The consolidation of the token routing includes transmitting the first token and the second token to one or more devices in a single transmission.
