Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for processing performance assessment data are not user-friendly, relying heavily on human expertise and manual processing, which is time-consuming and resource-intensive, and often fail to prioritize data according to user-defined criteria, making it difficult to extract valuable insights from large datasets.

Innovation Solution

An automated system that includes data mining and prioritization of performance assessment data using user-defined weight values, converting the results into plain language notes to facilitate human understanding, comprising a primary database coupled with a computer program that analyzes and processes raw data, summarizes it, prioritizes it, and presents it in a narrative format.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual processing by human domain experts is used, then data accuracy and insight quality are improved, but time consumption and resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analysis accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an automated data processing system that acts as an intermediary between raw performance data and human decision-makers. This system includes modules for data collection, processing, analysis, and presentation that automatically handle the time-consuming manual tasks while preserving the quality of insights through structured analytical frameworks and algorithms designed to replicate expert reasoning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual data processing by human experts with an automated computer-based system. The system uses software algorithms, data mining techniques, and automated reporting tools to process performance data, eliminating the need for manual analysis while maintaining or improving analysis quality through consistent application of analytical methodologies.

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

2Loss of information

If comprehensive performance data is collected, then analysis completeness is improved, but data complexity and processing difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis completenessVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the comprehensive performance data into distinct categories and dimensions (e.g., individual player statistics, team performance metrics, contextual factors). This segmentation allows the system to process different types of data through specialized modules, reducing overall complexity while maintaining completeness. Each segment can be analyzed independently and then integrated into a comprehensive assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms complex performance data into simplified parameters and indicators that are easier to process and interpret. By changing the form of data representation (e.g., converting raw statistics into performance indices, ranking positions, or visual metrics), the system reduces processing complexity while preserving the essential information needed for complete analysis.

Inventive Principle:
