TRANSACTIONS IN PROCESSING ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18331967 titled 'TRANSACTIONS IN PROCESSING ENVIRONMENTS

Simplified Explanation:

The patent application discusses a mechanism to determine the availability of a requested transaction within a processing environment. If the transaction is not available, the request is rejected to avoid queuing, thus protecting the processing environment from unnecessary overhead.

Key Features and Innovation:

Mechanism to determine availability of requested transactions
Rejection of requests to avoid queuing
Protection of processing environment from overhead

Potential Applications: This technology could be applied in various industries where transaction processing is critical, such as finance, healthcare, and telecommunications.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the problem of unnecessary queuing of transactions that are not available within a processing environment, thus improving efficiency and reducing overhead.

Benefits:

Improved efficiency in transaction processing
Reduction of unnecessary overhead
Protection of processing environment

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include transaction processing systems, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and telecommunications companies. This technology could help streamline operations and improve overall efficiency.

Prior Art: Readers can start searching for prior art related to this technology by looking into transaction processing systems, queuing mechanisms, and efficiency optimization in processing environments.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on research related to transaction processing efficiency, queuing mechanisms, and processing environment optimization for the latest advancements in this technology.

Questions about Transaction Availability: 1. How does this technology impact the efficiency of transaction processing within a processing environment? 2. What are the potential implications of rejecting requests to avoid queuing in transaction processing systems?

Original Abstract Submitted

A determination is made whether a requested transaction of a certain type or class is available (i.e., suitable for execution or queueing) within a processing environment. In the case that a transaction of the certain type or class is not available, the request to be rejected is enabled, thus avoiding queuing of the requested transaction. Embodiments may thus provide a mechanism to protect a processing environment by avoiding the overhead of creating and removing specific transactions of the certain type or class.
