SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING CONCURRENT EVENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240370321 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING CONCURRENT EVENTS

The patent application describes a system and method for managing API requests based on concurrency values and thresholds.

  • The system receives an API request and retrieves the concurrency value for the request.
  • It then compares the concurrency value to a threshold to determine if the request can be processed.
  • If the comparison falls within the threshold, the request is transmitted to an API processing resource.
  • If the comparison indicates the threshold is not met, processing of the request is impeded.
  • The system tracks increases in concurrency value when requests are processed and decreases when processing is completed.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in cloud computing environments to optimize API resource allocation. - It can be used in web servers to prevent overload and ensure efficient processing of API requests.

Problems Solved: - Efficient management of API requests based on concurrency values. - Prevention of system overload and resource wastage.

Benefits: - Improved performance and resource utilization in API processing. - Enhanced scalability and reliability of systems handling API requests.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized API Request Management System" This technology can be utilized by cloud service providers, web hosting companies, and large-scale websites to streamline API request processing and enhance overall system performance.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system handle fluctuations in API request traffic? - The system dynamically adjusts concurrency values based on real-time request volumes to maintain optimal processing efficiency. 2. Can this technology be integrated with existing API management platforms? - Yes, this system can be integrated with various API management tools to enhance request handling capabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system and method that includes receiving an api request to a type of api resource; retrieving an api concurrency value for the api request; determining a comparison status associated with a comparison of the api concurrency value to a concurrency threshold; if the comparison status is within the concurrency threshold, transmitting the api request to an api processing resource; if the comparison status indicates the concurrency threshold is not satisfied, impeding processing of the api request; accounting for an increase in the api concurrency value if the api request is transmitted to an api processing resource; and accounting for a decrease in the api concurrency value at a time associated with the api processing resource completing processing of the api request.
