Context-Aware URI Rerouting for Non-Standard Syntax Parsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing URI routing systems lack flexibility and efficiency in handling non-standard formats and dynamic redirection based on context-dependent parameters, leading to suboptimal resource allocation and increased network load.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic rerouting system that utilizes a rerouting engine to analyze incoming URIs, apply routing directives, and construct target URIs based on enterprise-defined policies, including variables and context information such as date, geolocation, and language, while supporting flexible parsing and load balancing across servers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a computing system uses a static URI routing system, then the system structure is simple and easy to maintain, but the system lacks flexibility in handling non-standard URI formats and cannot dynamically redirect requests based on context-dependent parameters
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic rerouting engine that evaluates context-dependent parameters (geolocation, language, date) at request time to determine the optimal server destination. This transforms the static routing table into a dynamic decision-making system that adapts to varying request characteristics, resolving the contradiction between flexibility and complexity by making the system behavior dynamic rather than structurally complex.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters used for routing decisions from fixed URI patterns to multiple contextual parameters including geolocation, language preferences, and temporal information. This allows the same URI to be routed to different servers based on the requester's context, providing flexibility without requiring a complete restructuring of the routing system.
2Productivity
If the computing system redirects all requests to a centralized server, then routing logic is simplified, but network load increases and response times deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements load balancing by routing requests to different servers based on their geographic location and current load status. Instead of centralizing all requests at one server, the system distributes them to multiple servers that are geographically closer to the users and have available capacity, thereby reducing overall network load and improving response times while maintaining efficient request handling.
3Reliability
If the computing system rejects non-standard URI formats, then parsing accuracy is maintained, but the number of satisfied requests decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a normalization layer that acts as an intermediary between the incoming URI and the routing engine. This normalization process standardizes non-standard URI formats into a form that the routing system can process, thereby maintaining parsing accuracy for valid requests while increasing the request satisfaction rate by successfully routing previously rejected non-standard URIs.

AI summary
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for dynamic rerouting of uniform resource identifiers having different syntaxes. A method includes a server receiving from a computing device a request that includes an initial uniform resource identifier (URI) that includes a product identifier. The request can be generated by the user scanning a product tag. Based on the identifier, the server finds two or more routing policy entries associated with the product. Each policy entry can include a regular expression that specifies syntax for parsing the initial URI and at least one variable. The server eliminates any routing policy having a context specification that does not match the request's context information and any routing policy entries having a regular expression that does not match the initial URI. The server composes a target URI based on a remaining routing policy entry and redirects the computing device to the target URI.
