Solution Overview

Problem

In enterprise information systems with multiple cross-system integration interfaces, operation and maintenance personnel face repetitive and time-consuming processes when querying interface logs across different systems, leading to low efficiency in problem-solving.

Innovation Solution

A device and method for interface operation and maintenance that acquires query condition parameters, invokes application programming interfaces (APIs) based on system names, and displays relevant interface log information in a unified format, allowing for efficient querying and display of log data across multiple systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If operation and maintenance personnel query interface logs by logging into multiple different systems separately, then they can obtain comprehensive log information, but the operation process becomes highly repetitive and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive log informationVSAvoidquery time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple system log queries into a single unified query operation. The processing device consolidates log information from multiple systems by receiving a single query request, invoking multiple system interfaces, and aggregating results into one comprehensive response, thereby eliminating repetitive login and query operations across different systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The processing device is designed with multi-functionality to handle queries across multiple different systems through a single interface. It can invoke various system interfaces, process different types of log information, and provide unified query results, making the device universal in handling diverse system log retrieval operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If operation and maintenance personnel query logs in multiple different systems, then they can locate specific interface problems, but the operation process becomes complex and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproblem location accuracyVSAvoidquery operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple separate query operations into one unified process. The processing device aggregates log information from multiple systems and presents it in a consolidated format, allowing operators to locate specific interface problems through a single query rather than navigating multiple separate system interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The processing device acts as an intermediary between the operator and multiple target systems. It receives the query request, manages the complexity of invoking multiple system interfaces, and returns unified results, thereby simplifying the operator's task while maintaining accurate problem location capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If the processing device invokes multiple system interfaces to consolidate log information, then query efficiency improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequery efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing device complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The processing device is designed with universal capabilities to handle multiple system interfaces through standardized methods. By implementing a unified interface invocation mechanism that can adapt to different systems, the device achieves high query efficiency across multiple platforms while managing complexity through design standardization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The processing device manages interface invocation complexity by parameterizing system-specific details. It uses configurable parameters such as interface endpoints, authentication credentials, and query formats that can be adjusted without changing the core processing logic, thereby maintaining productivity while controlling device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
