Solution Overview

Problem

Managing consumer relationships across multiple business partners is technologically challenging and resource-intensive, leading to increased costs and inefficiencies due to the use of independent management systems.

Innovation Solution

An artificial intelligence system that utilizes machine learning to predict future actions related to accounts receivable by generating models based on client entity actions and characteristics, clustering entities with common characteristics, and providing predictive analytics through a CRM system.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If independent management systems are implemented for different management functions, then specific management tasks can be handled, but system complexity and costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanagement capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple independent management systems (customer relationship management, account receivable management, marketing management) into a single integrated system. This integration allows the system to handle diverse management tasks through unified data structures and processing logic, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive management capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal management system that can perform multiple functions including customer relationship management, account receivable tracking, and marketing operations. The system uses a common data model and processing framework that can be applied across different management domains, eliminating the need for separate specialized systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive data collection and analysis is performed on client entities, then prediction accuracy improves, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary data processing by pre-grouping client entities based on their characteristics and payment behaviors. This pre-processing organizes data into manageable clusters before prediction analysis, reducing the computational burden during actual prediction while maintaining accurate insights into client payment patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the client entity population into distinct groups based on shared characteristics and payment behaviors. This segmentation divides the large-scale data analysis problem into smaller, more manageable segments that can be processed more efficiently, reducing overall processing time while preserving prediction accuracy for each segment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If machine learning models are generated and updated continuously, then prediction reliability improves, but computational cost and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction reliabilityVSAvoidcomputational cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic updates of machine learning models rather than continuous updates. The system generates and updates models at scheduled intervals based on accumulated data, maintaining reliable predictions while reducing computational overhead. This periodic approach balances model accuracy with resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
