Structured Metadata for Dynamic ASR Form Containers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional approaches to updating access service request (ASR) user interfaces require extensive coding changes and costly software testing due to frequent revisions in ASOG and LSOG guidelines, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs.
Innovation Solution
The use of structured metadata to define ASR forms, sections, and attributes, allowing an ASOG application to traverse and cache these definitions, enabling dynamic updates and rendering of user interfaces without extensive code changes, thus reducing testing and maintenance burdens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional coding approaches are used to update ASR user interfaces, then the system can maintain stability, but extensive coding changes and costly software testing are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the ASR user interface into modular form containers that can be independently updated. Each form container is a self-contained unit that can be modified without affecting other parts of the system, enabling granular updates and reducing the scope of required changes and testing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic form containers that can be updated in real-time without requiring system restart or extensive reconfiguration. The form containers are designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing the interface to change dynamically while maintaining system stability.
2Productivity
If structured metadata is used to define ASR forms, then updates become more efficient, but the initial system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining form containers with their metadata structures before runtime. This preparation work is done once during system initialization or deployment, enabling rapid updates later without requiring complex runtime processing or repeated setup operations.
Solution Approach 2:
Structured metadata acts as an intermediary layer between the user interface definitions and the underlying system implementation. This metadata layer simplifies updates by providing a standardized interface that abstracts away the complexity of direct system modifications.
3Speed
If form containers are cached in memory, then access speed improves, but memory usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by caching form containers selectively in memory based on their access patterns and importance. Frequently accessed or critical form containers are cached to improve speed, while less critical ones may remain in persistent storage. This localized caching strategy optimizes performance for key operations while controlling overall memory consumption.
Data Source
AI summary
A computer system for providing access service request (ASR) forms. The system comprises a data store comprising structured metadata, where the structured metadata represents a plurality of ASR forms, a processor, a non-transitory memory, and an application stored in the non-transitory memory. When executed by the processor, the application traverses the structured metadata, builds a plurality of ASR form group containers based on the traversing, where each ASR form group container is associated with one access service request type and the ASR form group container comprises definitions of forms, sections, and attributes and methods for accessing the forms, sections, and attributes by a front-end workstation for presenting a ASR, and caches each of the ASR form group containers by the application in a memory of the computer system, wherein the ASR form group containers are built once during an execution cycle by the application on initiation of the application.
