The proposed system features: 1. Policy functionality: Provides users with instructions on how to operate the system, including how to avoid plagiarism and keep contributions clear and relevant. 2. Question Management Function: Users can post questions that are processed by a machine learning filter to avoid duplicates by checking if similar questions have already been posted. Questions are assigned a unique ID and can be commented on. Users are notified when an answer is provided. 3. Idea sharing function: Users can document their ideas, develop prototypes, and have the option to patent these ideas before sharing them. 4. Professional advice: Certified professors and professionals support users with their expertise, provide suggestions and support further development through their contacts. 5. Collaboration function for companies: The system enables companies to select ideas based on the Seed Circuit Success (SCS) Index, a metric for assessing the feasibility of ideas. Companies and individuals can network by companies contacting individuals or vice versa. 6. “Professional Patent Assistance” feature: Users are connected with certified attorneys who can assist them in obtaining patents for their innovations.

[0055] Overall, the proposed system functions as a collaborative platform where users can ask questions, exchange ideas, receive expert advice, connect with companies and secure patents - all in an organized and streamlined process.

[0056] In one embodiment, the core functions of the system include: a question and answer function that allows registered users to ask questions; an idea sharing function that allows registered users to publish private business / project ideas, where ideas are private by default and users can share ideas with specific individuals or groups; a user roles and permissions function that allows clearly defined roles for each user type, with the administrator having full control over user permissions; a collaboration feature that facilitates cooperation between registered users, contributors, companies, and patent helpers; and a visibility control function that allows different levels of visibility for ideas, e.g.shared publicly or with specific users / groups, with contributors, companies and patent helpers having only limited access to private ideas.

[0057] In one implementation, the system uses a question ID for each question to prevent duplicate queries. The system's processing unit assigns a unique identifier to each question posted on the platform to optimize answer labeling and avoid duplicate queries. The question ID follows the format username_date, ensuring that each user has a unique username upon registration. Additionally, the system uses a Seed Circuit Success Index (SCS), a comprehensive metric for evaluating the potential success of a solution in a startup environment. By assessing key factors such as popularity, innovation impact, market demand, and current needs, the SCS provides a clear, data-driven indication of a solution's feasibility and success trajectory within the startup ecosystem.

[0058] The system is designed as a comprehensive digital infrastructure for fostering and managing innovation and intellectual property. Its purpose is to optimize interaction between technical experts, innovators, and businesses by providing a structured platform that enables the documentation, evaluation, and patenting of new ideas. Through a combination of user-driven and AI-powered modules, the system facilitates guided support for idea refinement, collaboration with registered professionals, and prototype development. Users can securely share technical solutions, access professional guidance, and assess the potential impact of their innovations.

[0059] The platform includes a machine learning-based filter to detect duplicate queries, streamlining the submission and evaluation of unique ideas. A dedicated component of the system allows users to secure patents before publishing their innovations, adding a layer of IP protection. By fostering connections between individuals and industry partners, SeedCircuit provides emerging entrepreneurs with a pathway to advance their innovations and launch startups. This system aims to promote technological expertise, contribute to smart home integration, and support economic development by enabling an increase in domestic patents and startups, thereby potentially improving the technological and economic landscape nationally.
