PROFILE-DRIVEN MERGING OF API COMPONENTS

摘要

Software that utilizes machine logic-based algorithms to combine the Terms of Service (ToS) portions of multiple Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) by performing the following steps: (i) providing a first ToS portion of a first API, with the first ToS portion including a first ToS feature value for a first ToS feature; (ii) providing a second ToS portion of a second API, with the second ToS portion including a second ToS feature value for the first ToS feature; and (iii) merging, at least, the first ToS portion and the second ToS portion, according to a set of ToS merger rule(s) applied by machine logic, to generate a merged ToS. One merger rule combines at least the first ToS feature value and the second ToS feature value according to a set of operator(s) to generate a first merged ToS feature value included as the first ToS feature in the merged ToS.

1. A process comprising:
providing a first Terms of Service (ToS) portion of a first application programming interface (API), with the first ToS portion including a first ToS feature value for a first ToS feature; providing a second ToS portion of a second API, with the second ToS portion including a second ToS feature value for the first ToS feature; and merging, at least, the first ToS portion and the second ToS portion, according to a set of ToS merger rule(s) applied by machine logic, to generate a merged ToS; wherein: the set of ToS merger rule(s) includes a first rule including a first rule invocation condition and a first rule consequential operation, where the first rule consequential operation combines at least the first ToS feature value and the second ToS feature value according to a set of operator(s) to generate a first merged ToS feature value included as the first ToS feature in the merged ToS.
