Social Context Façade for Aggregating Transaction Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current application and API containers lack the ability to identify and present social context information to developers, making it difficult to provide differentiated and relevant responses to users based on their social context during transactions.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that aggregates social content by collecting transaction data and user-specific context through external provider services, generating transaction-specific and user-specific context, and combining these to create social context data, which is then transmitted to a social application container to provide differentiated service responses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If individual invocations from application and API developers code are used to gather social context from different endpoints, then social context information can be collected, but the process becomes complex and difficult to manage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a social context façade as an intermediary layer between the application container and multiple social context endpoints. This façade automatically aggregates social context information from various sources (social media, enterprise systems, third-party services) and presents it as a unified interface to developers, eliminating the need for individual invocations to each endpoint while reducing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the social context aggregation function into a separate, dedicated social context façade component. This separation allows the core application container to remain simple while the façade handles the complexity of gathering and managing social context from multiple endpoints independently.
2Adaptability or versatility
If social context data is aggregated from multiple external endpoints, then personalized service responses can be provided, but the data aggregation process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The social context façade is designed as a universal component that can aggregate data from multiple types of endpoints (social media platforms, enterprise systems, third-party services) through a single interface. This multi-functional approach enables personalized service responses without requiring separate aggregation processes for each data source.
Solution Approach 2:
The social context façade automatically performs data aggregation, transformation, and presentation without requiring manual intervention from developers. The system self-manages the complexity of gathering social context from multiple endpoints and presents ready-to-use information to applications.
3Ease of operation
If typical application and API containers are used without social context framework, then system simplicity is maintained, but social context identification and presentation to developers is not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The social context façade acts as an intermediary that bridges typical application containers and social context data sources. It maintains compatibility with standard containers while automatically providing social context information through familiar interface patterns, making social context access as easy as traditional API calls without losing any social context data.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and system for delivering a service is provided. The method includes enabling a social application container computer system from an end user device, via an application program interface (API) executing in the social application container computer system invoked by an application running on the end user device. Transaction data describing a transaction request of a user of the end user device is collected from the end user device via the application and the API. Transaction specific context is generated based on the transaction data. User specific context is generated based on user data present in the transaction data.
