Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional tools, such as ERP case management software, are inadequate for creating a logical, time-oriented narrative from diverse and formatted data sources, and they pose challenges in data portability and collaboration across different organizations.
Innovation Solution
A software application that visualizes case data by displaying a timeline of events in chronological order, allowing users to create new events, encapsulate files within a case file, and synchronize data across multiple users and platforms, while ensuring data security and format consistency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If ERP case management software is used to organize and present data, then data organization capability is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to the software being too unwieldy
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments case data into discrete events with timestamps, allowing complex information to be broken down into manageable chronological units. Each event can be independently added, viewed, and managed, reducing the complexity of the overall system while maintaining strong organization capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a temporal dimension by organizing data primarily around chronological events rather than traditional ERP tables and records. This time-oriented approach simplifies navigation and presentation, making the system easier to operate while maintaining comprehensive data organization.
2Ease of manufacture
If ERP case management software is used to store case data, then data organization is improved, but data portability deteriorates due to difficulty in transferring data to another format
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a portable copy of case data in a standardized format that can be easily transferred between systems. The event-based structure with timestamps serves as a universal copy format that maintains organization capabilities while enabling seamless data portability across different platforms and systems.
3Quantity of substance
If data is collected from numerous different sources and formats, then data comprehensiveness is improved, but difficulty of detecting and measuring deteriorates due to diverse data formats
Solution Approach 1:
The system transforms diverse data from multiple sources into a standardized parameter set centered around timestamps and event descriptions. This parameter transformation consolidates various data formats into a uniform structure, making detection and measurement straightforward while maintaining comprehensive data collection from multiple sources.

AI summary
A case data visualization application is provided that, when executed on a device, allows a user to visualize a chronology of events associated with a case, view a summary of one or more supporting details of an event, and drill-down to view specific case data of each supporting detail of an event. Thus, the case data visualization application provides a way of collecting, organizing, visualizing, and sharing data associated with a case. Furthermore, the case data visualization application allow a plurality of users to collaborate on the case, and synchronizes a plurality of supporting details created by a plurality of users that are associated with an event.
