Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems face challenges in seamlessly integrating and reconciling disparate documents and data formats across various entities in complex workflows like manufacturing and supply chains, leading to data misalignments and privacy risks due to non-standardized identifiers and manual, error-prone transcription methods.

Innovation Solution

Integration of Large Language Model (LLM)/Large Multimodal Model (LMM)-based information comparison to align on a ground truth across documents, using verifiable credential technology for secure data exchange, and employing machine learning techniques to automatically identify and reconcile data discrepancies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual transcription methods are used to transfer data between systems, then data can be exchanged between different platforms, but errors increase and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoiddata processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual transcription (mechanical human operation) with automated AI-based entity resolution systems that use machine learning models to extract, match, and reconcile data across different platforms and formats, eliminating human error and increasing processing speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary entity resolution system that acts as a mediator between disparate data sources, using standardized data models and reconciliation algorithms to transform and align data from different formats before exchanging it between systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If non-standardized identifiers are used across different entities, then each organization can maintain its own data format, but data misalignment and reconciliation difficulties increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata format flexibilityVSAvoiddata reconciliation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universal entity resolution capabilities that can handle multiple data formats, schemas, and identification systems simultaneously, allowing the system to adapt to different organizational standards while maintaining the ability to reconcile them through a common framework

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically changes data parameters including identifier mappings, data format transformations, and schema alignments based on the specific source and target systems, allowing flexible adaptation to different standards while automatically managing reconciliation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If data is shared across multiple platforms without verification, then information exchange speed increases, but privacy risks and data security concerns increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation exchange speedVSAvoidprivacy risks
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary data verification, validation, and privacy protection measures before data is shared across platforms, including entity resolution, data quality checks, and access control setup, enabling fast subsequent exchanges with reduced risk

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The technology disclosed relates to Artificial Intelligence techniques for sharing and managing information across organizational boundaries. Specific embodiments of the technology disclosed include the integration of LLM/LMM-based information comparison to enable alignment on a ground truth (or an agreed upon data standard) across multiple documents related to a community's data, and communicating that alignment to the users in the community. As a result, the users can update data and make amendments to documents affecting related actions among multiple community members. in order to resolve any misalignment between data and physical reality. Information exchange can be securable through verifiable credential technology.
