Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current data transfer methods from web interfaces to databases or other web interfaces are often manual and inefficient, requiring user interaction and lacking automation, which hinders seamless cross-platform compatibility and convenience.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that automatically maps data fields between sender and receiver interfaces using data mapping rules, generating a data transfer scenario that can be executed multiple times to transfer data without user intervention, utilizing a computing device with processor, memory, and storage medium to implement receiving, navigation, mapping, and storing logic.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If manual data transfer methods are used, then user control and flexibility are maintained, but automation and efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically navigating web interfaces, extracting data fields, and transferring data without requiring manual user intervention. The automated scenario executes predefined navigation steps and data mapping rules to complete the transfer process independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-defining navigation steps and data field mappings before data transfer occurs. These predefined scenarios are stored and can be executed automatically, eliminating the need for manual setup during actual data transfer operations.
2Productivity
If automated data field mapping is implemented, then transfer efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the data transfer process into distinct components: navigation steps for accessing data fields, data field mappings for source-to-destination relationships, and executable scenarios for orchestration. This segmentation allows each component to be developed and maintained independently, managing complexity while improving efficiency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple data transfer scenarios are stored, then reusability and consistency are enhanced, but storage and management overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates universal data transfer scenarios that can be executed multiple times for different data sets and interfaces. Each stored scenario represents a reusable template that maintains consistency across transfers while adapting to different source and destination interfaces through parameter configuration.
Data Source
AI summary
Access information is received for a data sender interface accessible over a network and a data receiver interface accessible over the network. A set of navigation steps necessary to access data fields on the sender interface are determined. The data fields on the data sender interface are automatically mapped to data fields on the data receiver interface using at least one data mapping rule, such that a set of data field mappings is created. A data transfer scenario is generated using the set of navigation steps and the set of data field mappings, such that the data transfer scenario specifies a set of operations for transferring data from the sender interface to the receiver interface. The data transfer scenario is stored to computer readable media and can be executed any number of times to transfer data from the sending interface to the receiving interface.
