Solution Overview

Problem

Current data management systems face challenges in efficiently managing and evaluating compliance across multiple jurisdictions, particularly in remote work environments, leading to increased complexity, errors, and costs due to the need for manual monitoring and potential non-compliance with various regulations and laws.

Innovation Solution

A computing system that accesses employee and jurisdiction data to generate and evaluate compliance rules, providing real-time alerts and access control based on parameterized rules, allowing for automatic compliance monitoring and corrective actions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual monitoring of compliance is used, then flexibility in handling compliance rules is maintained, but time consumption and error rates increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance evaluation efficiencyVSAvoidtime for compliance monitoring
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-evaluation of compliance status by automatically retrieving employee data, applying jurisdictional rules, and generating compliance reports without requiring manual intervention. The computing system autonomously monitors compliance across multiple jurisdictions, eliminating the need for manual tracking while maintaining accuracy and timeliness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If manual compliance evaluation is performed, then complex rules can be handled with human judgment, but labor costs and potential for human error increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance accuracyVSAvoidcompliance monitoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual human judgment and mechanical compliance checking with an automated computing system that retrieves employee data, applies jurisdictional compliance rules, and determines compliance status programmatically. This substitution eliminates human error while maintaining the ability to handle complex multi-jurisdictional rules through structured data processing and automated logic.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If comprehensive compliance monitoring is implemented across multiple jurisdictions, then compliance coverage is improved, but system complexity and costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-jurisdiction compliance coverageVSAvoidcompliance system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs a universal computing platform that can handle compliance monitoring across multiple jurisdictions through a single integrated architecture. The system retrieves employee data, applies different jurisdictional rules, and generates compliance determinations using common data structures and processing logic, enabling multi-jurisdictional coverage without proportionally increasing system complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments compliance monitoring into discrete, manageable components: employee data retrieval, jurisdictional rule application, compliance determination logic, and report generation. Each component operates independently but integrates seamlessly, allowing the system to scale to multiple jurisdictions by adding or modifying individual segments rather than redesigning the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Speed

If automated compliance systems are deployed, then speed and consistency of compliance evaluation improve, but initial implementation costs and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance evaluation speedVSAvoidsystem implementation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The automated system performs compliance evaluation autonomously by retrieving employee data, applying jurisdictional rules, and generating compliance determinations without manual intervention. This self-service capability enables rapid, consistent compliance assessment across the entire organization, significantly improving evaluation speed while maintaining implementation feasibility through standardized automated processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A computing system that determines employee and organizational compliance includes one or more databases that store organizational data and one or more processors to execute instructions to perform various operations. The operations include accessing, from the organizational data, employee information associated with a first employee object, accessing, from the organizational data, jurisdictional information associated with a first jurisdiction object, importing one or more compliance parameters relating to the first jurisdiction object to generate one or more compliance rules parameterized for the first jurisdiction object, determining compliance with the one or more compliance rules parameterized for the first jurisdiction object with respect to the first employee object, based on the employee information and the one or compliance parameters, and providing an output indicating whether the one or more compliance rules parameterized for the first jurisdiction object are being complied with, with respect to the first employee object.
