Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If AI models are used to automate compliance monitoring and gap identification, then productivity and compliance accuracy are improved, but device complexity and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance monitoring efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an AI model as an intermediary component that bridges the gap between raw system data and compliance assessment results. The AI model receives system asset data, regulatory requirements, and operational data as inputs, processes them through complex algorithms, and outputs gap identifications and compliance assessments. This intermediary layer handles the computational complexity internally while presenting simplified outputs to users, thus improving productivity without exposing the full system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The compliance monitoring system is segmented into distinct functional modules: data collection module, AI model processing module, gap identification module, and reporting module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, allowing the system to scale and manage complexity through modular architecture. The AI model itself is presented as a discrete, replaceable component that can be updated or swapped without affecting the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If comprehensive regulatory requirements are enforced across all system assets, then compliance reliability is improved, but the time and resources required for monitoring increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance assuranceVSAvoidmonitoring time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously collecting and pre-processing system asset data, regulatory requirements, and operational data before compliance assessments are needed. The AI model is trained in advance on historical compliance data and regulatory frameworks, enabling it to rapidly assess compliance status when queried. This preliminary preparation reduces the time required for actual compliance monitoring while maintaining comprehensive coverage of regulatory requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The compliance monitoring system operates continuously rather than through periodic batch processing. Data collection, AI model inference, and gap identification run as continuous processes that constantly update compliance status. This continuous operation eliminates idle time between assessments and ensures real-time compliance monitoring, thereby reducing total monitoring time while maintaining high reliability through constant surveillance of all system assets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

The systems and methods disclosed herein receives, from a computing device, operational data indicating software or hardware assets used on informational assets, and obtains a set of alphanumeric characters defining operative boundaries for expected system assets, which include a set of common attributes. Using the set of attributes, a first set of AI models determines observed system assets from the operational data, each with specific features. A second set of AI models associates each information asset with the corresponding observed system assets. For each observed system asset, a third set of AI models identifies criteria within the alphanumeric characters, compares the criteria with the asset's features to identify gaps, and generates actions to ensure the observed system asset meets the identified criteria.
