Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to an integration system and, more particularly, to a multisided agnostic integration system and method of use. The method includes: receiving, by a computer system, data from a system as defined by a single set of product agnostic application programming interfaces (APIs); receiving, by the computer system, a request to execute at least one product offered by a third party provider; parsing, by the computer system, the received data defined by the single set of product agnostic APIs which are needed to execute the at least one product; executing the at least one product using the parsed data; and providing notification to a client that the product has been executed.

Core Innovation

The invention uses technical documents comprising information about a single set of product agnostic APIs that are used to access a plurality of products. A computer system receives the technical documents and builds an application configured to receive a request from a client system to execute one of the plurality of products, and responsive to the request, uses the single set of product agnostic APIs to access the product.

The application accesses, in accordance with the request, a first dataset from the client system that is specified by the single set of product agnostic APIs. The application parses the first dataset to identify a second dataset usable across the plurality of products and sends the second dataset to at least one product to cause the product to perform an operation using the second dataset.

After the at least one product performs the operation using the second dataset, the computer system provides a notification to the client system related to the performance of the operation. In refinements, the single set of product agnostic APIs includes one or more data categories, and parsing identifies the second dataset based on predetermined categories that specify the second dataset.

Claims Coverage

The document provides two independent claims: one method claim and one system claim. The inventive features center on a single set of product agnostic APIs that support cross-product dataset reuse, building or using an application from technical documents, accessing and parsing a client-specified first dataset into a cross-product second dataset, executing the selected product with that second dataset, and notifying the client about operation performance.

Both independent claims are directed to a computer system architecture that receives technical documents for a single set of product agnostic APIs, builds or uses an application to access a client-specified first dataset, parses it into a second dataset usable across the plurality of products, sends the second dataset to requested product(s) to perform an operation, and provides a notification related to the operation. The claims also recite data categories that specify data and the second dataset.
