Solution Overview

Problem

Existing red packet payment services lack efficiency and flexibility in their implementation, relying on a preset sequence of logic that does not allow for dynamic state transitions, making maintenance and development cumbersome.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a state machine that adjusts states based on execution results of service logic, enabling a more dynamic and flexible resource data transfer service by executing different service logics corresponding to various states, thereby enriching the implementation and facilitating maintenance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a preset sequence logic is used for resource data transfer service, then the implementation is simple and straightforward, but the service lacks flexibility and adaptability to dynamic conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice flexibilityVSAvoidservice implementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by introducing a state machine that enables the resource data transfer service to dynamically transition between different states (e.g., waiting state, transferring state, completed state, failed state) based on execution results and external events. This allows the service to adapt to varying conditions rather than following a rigid preset sequence, thereby improving flexibility while maintaining manageable complexity through structured state transitions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a state machine approach is implemented for resource data transfer service, then the service becomes more flexible and adaptable, but the service logic becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice adaptabilityVSAvoidservice logic complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the service logic into distinct, isolated state handlers for each state in the state machine. Each state has its own dedicated logic for handling events and transitions, which makes the complex service logic more manageable, testable, and maintainable. This segmentation reduces the cognitive load of understanding the overall system by allowing developers to focus on individual state behaviors rather than the entire service flow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The state machine itself acts as an intermediary that mediates between external events and the underlying resource data transfer logic. Instead of having complex conditional logic scattered throughout the service code, the state machine provides a structured intermediate layer that routes events to appropriate state handlers and manages transitions, thereby organizing complexity in a controlled manner.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If sequential preset logic is used for processing resource data transfer, then the execution flow is straightforward, but the service cannot respond dynamically to different execution results

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice execution efficiencyVSAvoiddynamic response capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms within the state machine where the execution result of each state's service logic feeds back into the state machine, which then determines the next state transition. This feedback loop allows the service to dynamically respond to different execution results (success, failure, partial completion) by transitioning to appropriate states, thereby achieving both efficient execution and adaptive response capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
