[0037] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0039] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of module interaction provided in an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation
[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0041] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application, the background technology involved in the embodiments of this application will be described below.
[0042] As mentioned earlier, existing data asset valuation methods have three significant drawbacks: First, the manual-driven valuation process is inefficient, requiring professionals to spend days to weeks manually analyzing financial contracts and other documents, which is completely unacceptable for the practical needs of the digital economy era for rapid, batch valuation of massive data assets. Second, the valuation process suffers from serious subjective bias, relying on personal experience and judgment from the selection of valuation methods to the extraction of key contract clauses, resulting in insufficient completeness of core information extraction, inconsistent valuation standards, and difficulty in guaranteeing the credibility and consistency of the final output. Finally, the output quality lacks standardized control, and manually written valuation reports exhibit significant randomness in terms of structure and content completeness, directly affecting the direct application value of the valuation results in serious scenarios such as asset transactions and financial audits.
[0043] To address the aforementioned issues, this application's embodiments achieve efficient and accurate assessment by constructing a complete intelligent processing flow. First, based on the basic description of the data assets, the system automatically recommends, or allows the user to specify, an applicable valuation method—cost-based or revenue-based—through a pre-trained classification model, ensuring the scientific rigor and adaptability of the method selection. Next, the system receives various documents uploaded by the user. For structured documents, it directly reads key data; for unstructured documents, it uses optical character recognition combined with natural language processing technology to intelligently extract core clauses and numerical information, completing the standardization of multi-source heterogeneous data. Then, according to the selected valuation method, the system automatically executes the corresponding calculation logic: if the cost-based method is used, it calculates the total investment based on parameters such as acquisition cost, storage cost, and operation and maintenance cost, and deducts depreciation; if the revenue-based method is used, it predicts future revenue based on historical revenue data and contract terms and performs discounting calculations, ultimately arriving at an accurate value result. Finally, the system automatically generates a complete valuation report, including four standard modules: introduction, data evaluation, value assessment, and conclusion, ensuring complete content and consistent format.
[0044] Specifically, it compresses the traditional manual assessment process, which takes several days to several weeks, to minutes, improves the accuracy of key information extraction to over 95%, and increases the consistency of assessment results by over 80%. It effectively solves the three core problems of low efficiency, large subjective error, and insufficient report standardization in existing technologies, and provides efficient, reliable and standardized assessment support for scenarios such as data asset trading, pledge financing and financial auditing.
[0045] It should be noted that the data asset valuation methods, systems, products, equipment, and media provided in this application can be applied to the field of computer technology. The above are merely examples and do not limit the application areas of the data asset valuation methods, systems, products, equipment, and media provided in this application. Furthermore, the embodiments of this application may not limit the entity performing the data asset valuation. For example, the data asset valuation method of this application can be applied to data processing devices such as terminal devices or servers. The terminal device can be an electronic device such as a computer or a personal digital assistant (PDA). The server can be a standalone server, a cloud server, or a cluster server composed of multiple servers.
[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0047] The following embodiment illustrates a data asset valuation method provided in this application. See also... Figure 1 ,Should Figure 1 A flowchart of a data asset valuation method provided in this application embodiment, the method including:
[0048] S101. Obtain basic information about the data assets, and determine the value assessment method corresponding to the basic information through a pre-trained classification model and / or user selection instructions.
[0049] Basic information about data assets refers to a set of key metadata that describes the core attributes, status, and application context of data assets. This information serves as the foundational input for initiating an automated assessment process, primarily serving two core purposes: 1) providing a basis for AI to intelligently recommend appropriate value assessment methods; and 2) serving as important descriptive content in the final assessment report.
[0050] Specifically, this basic information is filled in by the user during the initial assessment phase through the system's data and materials input module in the form of a structured form or text description. Its core components include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following:
[0051] Data content and source: A substantive description of the data asset itself, such as "e-commerce user behavior data" or "road traffic flow data", and an explanation of its generation or collection source.
[0052] Time attribute: The key time point in the generation, collection, or updating of data assets, such as "collected in 2023". This information is crucial for subsequent depreciation calculations and determining data timeliness.
[0053] Scale and Coverage: This describes the size and scope of influence of data assets, such as "covering 1 million active users" or "containing 100 million transaction records." This is an important indicator for measuring the potential value and influence of data assets.
[0054] Application scenarios: The business areas or purposes in which the data asset is currently or is expected to be used, such as "for internal operational analysis" or "for user profiling and precision marketing." This information is a key characteristic for AI to determine its profitability.
[0055] Usage status and lifespan: Specify the number of years the data asset has been used (e.g., "used for 1 year") or its preset lifespan (e.g., "usespan of 5 years"). This is a necessary parameter for calculating depreciation when using the cost method.
[0056] Specifically, in order to determine the value assessment method corresponding to the basic information, this application provides three decision paths.
[0057] The first mode is manual selection. In this mode, the system provides users with a clear interface showcasing the two core evaluation methods: the "cost approach" and the "income approach." Users can rely entirely on their own professional judgment, without system assistance, to directly select the target method based on their understanding of the data asset type (e.g., whether it is "basic data" formed by a one-time investment or "derived data" that can generate continuous cash flow). This mode ensures the integrity of the expert user's decision-making power.
[0058] The second approach is the AI-powered intelligent recommendation mode. The system receives a text description of the "basic information about the data asset" from the user (such as a description of the data source and application scenarios) and inputs it into a pre-trained AI classification model. This model makes judgments based on a large amount of prior knowledge and automatically outputs the most suitable evaluation method recommendation. For example, when the model identifies features such as "no clear revenue records" or "raw data" in the basic information description, it recommends the cost approach based on input cost accounting; while when it identifies features such as "historical revenue data" or "authorized operation," it recommends the revenue approach based on future revenue forecasts. This approach effectively lowers the professional threshold for users and ensures the objectivity and consistency of method selection.
[0059] The third type is a hybrid human-computer interaction mode. This mode combines the two mentioned above, presenting users with both a manual selection interface and AI-recommended results. Users can use the AI recommendations as a key decision-making reference, and then, based on their own deeper business insights, make a final confirmation or rejection. This "AI suggestion, human decision-making" approach utilizes the efficiency and standardization of AI while retaining the user's ultimate control, achieving both high efficiency and reliability in practical applications.
[0060] S102. Obtain the file materials related to the data asset uploaded by the user, and extract the key information used for value calculation from the file materials.
[0061] This involves automatically and accurately extracting all key information for value calculation from multi-source heterogeneous materials provided by users, achieving intelligent transformation from raw materials to standardized data. This step first receives two types of structured information through a unified input interface: the first type is a user-generated basic description of the data assets, including but not limited to core characteristics such as data collection time, number of users covered, and application areas; the second type is various supporting files uploaded by users, compatible with common formats such as PDF, Excel, and Word, specifically covering financial documents (such as data collection cost details and system maintenance expense reports) and legal contract documents (such as data licensing agreements and revenue sharing agreements), thus constructing a complete foundation for the assessment data.
[0062] In the information extraction stage, the system employs differentiated intelligent parsing strategies based on file type characteristics. For structured files (such as financial statements in Excel format), the system directly reads the numerical information of specific cells by parsing the underlying data structure of the file, accurately extracting key quantitative indicators such as data collection costs, annual maintenance expenses, and contractual revenue ratios. For unstructured files (such as commercial contracts in PDF format), a fusion technology approach is adopted: first, the image or scanned document is converted into processable text content through an optical character recognition (OCR) engine; then, a deep learning-based named entity recognition (NER) model is used to accurately locate and extract core commercial terms such as contract validity period, revenue sharing ratio, and breach of contract liability amounts from the text stream. At the same time, redundant content such as standard clauses and irrelevant attachments is intelligently filtered to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of information extraction.
[0063] All key information obtained from the analysis, including feature parameters extracted from text descriptions and quantitative indicators extracted from documents, is standardized and stored in a dedicated system database. This establishes a complete data mapping relationship, providing reliable and comprehensive data support for the automated value calculation in the subsequent S103 step. This process completely changes the traditional manual material review workflow, achieving deep fusion of multi-source data and accurate capture of key information through intelligent technology, providing a solid data foundation for the evaluation work.
[0064] S103. Calculate the value of the data asset based on the valuation method, the basic information of the data asset, and the key information.
[0065] Based on the valuation methods established in the preceding steps, the basic information of the data assets acquired, and the key information extracted from the documents, the system automatically calculates the value of the data assets. Through standardized calculation logic and parameterized processing, it automates and standardizes the calculation of data asset value, effectively eliminating subjective errors from manual calculations, ensuring the objectivity and consistency of the assessment results, and providing accurate value basis for the final generation of a standardized assessment report.
[0066] In one possible implementation, when the valuation method is the cost approach, the data asset's useful life, data acquisition cost, data storage cost, and data operation and maintenance cost are extracted from the basic information of the data asset and / or from the document materials; based on the data asset's useful life, the depreciation amount is calculated using the straight-line depreciation method; the value of the data asset is obtained by summing the data acquisition cost, data storage cost, and data operation and maintenance cost and subtracting the depreciation amount from the sum.
[0067] When the system determines that the cost approach should be used for valuation, it will initiate the cost accounting logic. This method is based on the principle of asset replacement cost. First, it extracts four key parameters from the basic information of the data asset or the parsed documents: the data asset's useful life, data acquisition cost, data storage cost, and data operation and maintenance cost. Then, based on the data asset's useful life, the system automatically calculates the depreciation amount using the straight-line depreciation method (the formula is: Depreciation Amount = Total Cost × (Used Years / Total Useful Life)). Finally, the data asset value is obtained by aggregating all costs and deducting depreciation, specifically calculated as: Data Asset Value = Data Acquisition Cost + Data Storage Cost + Data Operation and Maintenance Cost - Depreciation Amount. For example, when the acquisition cost is 800,000 yuan, the storage cost is 200,000 yuan, the operation and maintenance cost is 500,000 yuan, and the depreciation amount is 300,000 yuan, the system will automatically output an assessed value of 1,200,000 yuan.
[0068] In one possible implementation, when the valuation method is the income approach, historical revenue data and contractually agreed revenue ratios are obtained from the extracted key information; based on the historical revenue data and the revenue ratios, the expected revenue for the next N years is calculated, where N is a positive integer; based on a preset industry average discount rate, the sum of the present values of the expected revenue for the next N years is calculated as the value of the data asset.
[0069] When the system determines that the income approach should be used for valuation, it initiates the future income discounting logic. This method, based on the asset's future profitability, first obtains historical income data and contractually agreed income ratios from the analyzed key information, and then calculates the expected income for the next N years (N being a positive integer). Subsequently, the system calls a preset industry average discount rate and calculates the present value using the formula: Present Value = Σ [Expected Income in Year t / (1 + Discount Rate)^t], where t = 1 to N, to determine the present value of the future income stream. For example, if the expected income for the next three years is 600,000, 700,000, and 800,000 yuan respectively, and the discount rate is 8%, the system will automatically calculate the total present value to be approximately 1,836,700 yuan, and use this as the valuation of the data asset.
[0070] Through these two rigorously designed calculation paths, the system can automatically complete the accurate calculation from basic parameters to final value without human intervention, ensuring both the standardization of the evaluation process and the accuracy and reliability of the evaluation results.
[0071] S104. Based on the value assessment method, the basic information of the data asset, the key information, and the calculated value of the data asset, generate a value assessment report.
[0072] Based on all the outputs from the preceding steps, including the valuation methods used, basic information about the data assets, key information extracted from the documents, and the calculated value of the data assets, a complete valuation report is automatically generated. This report uses a standardized structured template to ensure the standardization and professionalism of the output content.
[0073] The assessment reports generated through this standardized process not only significantly improve report writing efficiency, reducing the workload of several days in the traditional manual mode to minutes, but also effectively solve problems such as inconsistent formatting and missing content caused by manual writing, providing standardized professional documents that can be used directly for application scenarios such as data asset trading, pledge financing, and financial auditing.
[0074] In one possible implementation, the valuation report employs a structured template design, comprising four logically rigorous core parts: an introduction, a data evaluation section, a valuation section, and a conclusion. The system uses intelligent fill technology to automatically assign various types of information obtained from pre-processing to their corresponding modules: In the introduction, the system integrates and fills in the valuation methods used, the description of the valuation object's characteristics extracted from the basic information of the data assets, and the user-specified valuation purpose; in the data evaluation section, the system generates a judgment on the completeness of the input materials based on the document parsing results and summarizes the key information elements extracted from various documents; in the valuation section, the system provides a detailed explanation of the derivation process for calculating the data asset value and the precise final valuation results; in the conclusion, the system generates a comprehensive statement containing the final value conclusion and explains the limitations of this valuation.
[0075] In one possible implementation, the valuation report is output in PDF format; and / or, a secondary editing interface for the valuation report is provided.
[0076] This means that the system generates downloadable PDF documents that conform to industry standards based on the assessment report. While ensuring the standardization of the report structure and the professionalism of the content, it also provides user interaction functions, allowing users to make necessary secondary edits and supplementary notes to the generated report content. Thus, the editable mechanism preserves the space for professional judgment, so that the output of the system can not only meet the standardization requirements, but also adapt to the special needs of specific application scenarios, significantly improving the applicability and practical value of the assessment results in actual business scenarios.
[0077] In one possible implementation, the value assessment section displays the mathematical expressions used in the calculation process in formula form, and the specific numerical values obtained from the key information are substituted into the formula for display.
[0078] In one possible implementation, after extracting the key information for value calculation from the document material, the method further includes: storing the extracted key information in a structured database and attaching a data source tag to each key information; when calculating the value of the data asset, retrieving the key information with the data source tag from the structured database.
[0079] In one possible implementation, the method further includes a batch evaluation mode, which simultaneously acquires basic information and related documents of multiple data assets; performs the steps of determining the valuation method, extracting key information, calculating value, and generating an evaluation report in parallel for each data asset; and outputs a summary report containing the evaluation results of all data assets.
[0080] In one possible implementation, the method further includes an evaluation result verification step: comparing the calculated data asset value with a preset industry value range; when the data asset value exceeds the threshold range of the industry value range, generating a verification warning message and attaching it to the value assessment report.
[0081] The system automatically compares the calculated value of data assets with a pre-defined industry value range database. This database contains dynamic value reference ranges based on multi-dimensional characteristics such as industry classification, asset type, and data scale. When the system detects that the current assessed value exceeds the preset threshold range of the corresponding industry value range, it automatically generates specific verification warning information. This generated warning information will be automatically added to the final value assessment report as important information. This information not only clearly points out potential anomalies in the assessment results but also analyzes and prompts key factors that may lead to deviations (such as insufficient input data integrity, abnormal values of key parameters, or problems with the applicability of the assessment method), providing report users with professional risk warnings and decision-making references. This effectively enhances the self-verification capability of the assessment system. By introducing industry benchmark data as an external reference, it significantly improves the objectivity and reliability of the assessment results, providing additional security for data asset transactions, financing, and other application scenarios.
[0082] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following core advantages:
[0083] First, it achieves fully automated assessment, resulting in a significant improvement in efficiency. By building a complete automated processing chain, the assessment process, which traditionally relied on manual operation and took days or even weeks, is compressed to minutes (the assessment time for a single data asset does not exceed 10 minutes). The system further supports batch concurrent processing capabilities, capable of processing no fewer than 100 data assets simultaneously, fundamentally solving the efficiency bottleneck problem of large-scale data asset assessment.
[0084] Secondly, driven by AI technology, the accuracy and objectivity of the evaluation process have been significantly improved. The system comprehensively utilizes natural language processing and optical character recognition technologies to intelligently extract key information from multi-source documents with an accuracy rate of no less than 95%. By recommending evaluation methods and performing automatic calculations through AI models, subjective biases and random errors caused by reliance on human experience are effectively avoided, improving the consistency of results across different evaluation projects by more than 80%.
[0085] Third, it outputs highly structured standard reports with excellent adaptability to various scenarios. The evaluation reports generated by the system strictly follow a fixed structure, fully including four core modules: "Introduction, Data Evaluation, Value Assessment, and Conclusion." This standardized output format ensures the integrity of the content and the uniformity of the format. The generated reports can be directly applied to various business scenarios such as data asset transactions, rights pledge financing, and corporate financial auditing without secondary processing.
[0086] Fourth, the system architecture is flexible, with good scalability and environmental adaptability. The current system supports two core evaluation methods: the cost approach and the income approach. Its modular design facilitates the addition of other evaluation methods such as the market approach in the future. Furthermore, the system is compatible with multiple file formats and supports various deployment modes, including cloud and local deployments, enabling it to flexibly adapt to the existing technical architectures and differentiated business needs of different enterprises.
[0087] The above are some specific implementations of the data asset valuation method provided in the embodiments of this application. Based on this, this application also provides a corresponding data asset valuation system. The system provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below from the perspective of functional modularization. The device of this invention mainly includes 5 functional modules, each module operating independently and linked sequentially, such as... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of module interaction provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0088] The evaluation method selection module serves as the starting point of the process. This module provides a selection mechanism for two evaluation methods: cost approach and income approach. It supports users to manually specify or intelligently recommend applicable methods based on the description of data assets using a pre-trained AI model, ensuring a scientific match between the evaluation method and the characteristics of the assets.
[0089] The data and materials input module is used to receive the information submitted by users for the assessment, including basic descriptive text of data assets (such as collection time, coverage, application scenarios, etc.) and related documents and materials (such as financial statements, authorization contracts, etc.), providing a data foundation for subsequent analysis and calculation.
[0090] The AI file parsing module is used to intelligently parse files uploaded by the input module: for structured files (such as Excel), it directly reads key data; for unstructured files (such as PDF contracts), it uses OCR and NER technologies to extract core clauses and numerical information, realizing standardized processing of multi-source heterogeneous data.
[0091] The AI-powered valuation and calculation module, as the core processing unit, automatically performs value calculations based on the selected valuation method, basic asset information, and key parameters obtained from analysis. It supports both the cost approach (based on cost and depreciation) and the income approach (based on discounted cash flow), outputting accurate value results.
[0092] The assessment report generation module serves as the output terminal, automatically generating a complete assessment report based on the processing results of the aforementioned modules. The report includes standardized sections such as an introduction, data evaluation, value assessment, and conclusion, supports PDF export and secondary content editing, and meets the format and content requirements of different application scenarios.
[0093] Furthermore, it should be noted that this system adopts a highly flexible deployment architecture, supporting stable operation in the cloud (such as mainstream cloud platforms like AWS and Alibaba Cloud) or local server environments. Through the application of distributed computing technology, the system has the ability to horizontally scale to handle massive data asset assessment tasks, effectively meeting the performance requirements of large-scale enterprise-level assessment scenarios.
[0094] In terms of system scalability, a modular design concept is adopted, with each core functional module supporting independent upgrades and functional expansions. Taking the addition of a new evaluation method as an example: when it is necessary to add a "market approach" evaluation function in the future, only the evaluation method selection module and the AI evaluation calculation module need to be updated to achieve functional expansion, without the need for system-level reconstruction, which significantly reduces the subsequent maintenance and iteration costs.
[0095] Furthermore, the system provides standardized data interfaces that can seamlessly connect to mainstream data visualization tools such as Tableau, displaying evaluation results intuitively through rich chart formats. This effectively enhances the readability and decision support capabilities of the evaluation results, meeting the diverse data consumption needs of users at different levels. This open architecture design ensures the stability of the system's core functions while reserving ample space for future functional expansion and ecosystem integration.
[0096] The following example illustrates the data asset valuation provided in this application and the coordination of various modules in a practical application scenario. This example uses a cloud-deployed device and activates all five modules: "Assessment Method Selection Module," "Data and Material Input Module," "AI File Parsing Module," "AI Assessment Calculation Module," and "Assessment Report Generation Module." Data interaction between modules is achieved through cloud APIs.
[0097] S201. Select a valuation calculation method.
[0098] Users input a basic summary of the data asset ("e-commerce user behavior data collected in 2023, with no clear historical revenue records") through the "Evaluation Method Selection Module." The module's AI recommends the "cost method." After the user confirms their selection, the method result is synchronized to the AI evaluation calculation module (see reference).

[0100] Users fill in a complete basic introduction through the "Data and Materials Input Module," such as "Data covers 1 million active users, collected for internal operational analysis, with a usage period of 5 years," and upload 3 files: "2023 Data Collection Service Contract.xlsx" (structured file, including collection cost of 800,000 yuan); "2023-2024 Data Storage Fee Report.pdf" (unstructured file, including annual storage cost of 100,000 yuan); and "2023-2024 Data Operation and Maintenance Personnel Fee Report.xlsx" (structured file, including annual operation and maintenance cost of 250,000 yuan).
[0101] S203, AI analyzes the content of the document materials.
[0102] After the "AI File Parsing Module" is activated, it directly extracts indicators from structured files: "Collection cost 800,000 yuan", "Total storage cost 200,000 yuan in 2023-2024", and "Total maintenance cost 500,000 yuan in 2023-2024". For unstructured PDFs containing storage costs, it extracts "Annual storage cost 100,000 yuan" after recognizing the text using OCR. Finally, all parsing indicators are stored in the cloud database (parsing accuracy 100%).
[0103] S204, AI automatically calculates the value of data assets
[0104] The "AI Evaluation Calculation Module" calls the following information:
[0105] Method selection: cost method; Analysis indicators: data acquisition cost 800,000, storage cost 200,000, operation and maintenance cost 500,000; Basic introduction: extracted information: service life of 5 years, depreciation amount is calculated using the straight-line depreciation method (annual depreciation rate of 20%).
[0106] The calculation process based on the above-mentioned content is as follows: Total investment cost = 80 + 20 + 50 = 1.5 million yuan; Depreciation amount = 1.5 million × 20% × 1 (used for 1 year) = 300,000 yuan; Data asset value = 1.5 million - 300,000 = 1.2 million yuan.
[0107] S205, Output a value assessment report.
[0108] The "Assessment Report Generation Module" automatically generates a PDF report, the core content of which is as follows:
[0109] Introduction: The evaluation object is "2023 e-commerce user behavior data", the evaluation purpose is "internal asset inventory", and the evaluation method is "cost method".
[0110] Data evaluation section: Document integrity "no missing parts", key information summary "collection cost 800,000 yuan, usage period 5 years";
[0111] Valuation section: Calculation process: "80 + 20 + 50 - 30 = 1.2 million yuan", valuation result: "1.2 million yuan";
[0112] Summary: Conclusion: "The current value of this data asset is 1.2 million yuan." Limitation: "The risk of data devaluation due to timeliness was not considered."
