Automated Compliance Verification System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Entities face challenges in maintaining compliance with evolving regulatory rules across multiple jurisdictions, as existing systems lack efficient mechanisms for updating compliance documents and ensuring secure transmission of sensitive information.
Innovation Solution
A system where an entity creates a transmission object referencing its compliance documents, which is sent to an operator server to identify and notify updates, allowing the entity to update its documents securely and maintain current regulatory compliance without transmitting confidential information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If entities manually monitor and update compliance documents with regulatory rules, then compliance accuracy can be maintained, but time consumption and labor resources increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automated self-updating of compliance documents by the operator server, which automatically monitors rule changes, retrieves updated rules, and updates compliance documents without requiring manual intervention from entity personnel, thus maintaining high compliance accuracy while eliminating time consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of monitoring and updating compliance documents with an automated electronic system that uses computer servers, databases, and software algorithms to automatically track rule changes and update documents, thereby maintaining reliability while dramatically reducing time loss
2Loss of information
If entities transmit compliance documents to external sites for updates, then access to current regulations is improved, but security risks from transmitting sensitive information increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary operator server that acts as a secure middle ground between the entity's compliance documents and external rule sources. The operator server retrieves rules from external authorities and updates local compliance documents without requiring transmission of sensitive entity data to external sites, thus ensuring access to current regulations while eliminating security risks
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and updates local copies of compliance documents and rules on the entity's own server infrastructure rather than transmitting original documents to external sites. This copying approach ensures entities have access to current regulations through local updates while keeping sensitive information securely stored locally without exposure to external transmission risks
3Adaptability or versatility
If entities maintain compliance documents for multiple jurisdictions, then comprehensive coverage is achieved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The operator server is designed as a universal system capable of handling compliance documents for multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. It can retrieve rules from various regulatory authorities, manage different compliance document types, and update multiple entities' documents through a single unified platform, thus achieving comprehensive coverage while reducing overall system complexity through consolidation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the compliance management system into modular components: the operator server handles rule retrieval and updates, while entity-specific compliance computers maintain local documents. This segmentation allows the system to scale to multiple jurisdictions by adding new rule sources and document types without increasing complexity at the entity level, as each jurisdiction's rules are handled independently through the same standardized interface
Data Source
AI summary
A compliance computer creates compliance documents referencing one or more rules with which an entity must comply and/or a jurisdiction and topic related to rules with which the company must comply. For example, the compliance documents may identify one or more jurisdictions in which the company operates, one or more topics associated with the company, and/or specific provisions set by specific rules. A transmission object is created based on the compliance documents. The transmission object includes general information pertinent to the rules and/or the entity (e.g., jurisdictional or topical information). An operator server receives one or more transmission objects from one or more compliance computers. The operator server identifies rules pertinent to each transmission object and conducts a search to determine whether any of those rules have been modified. The operator server sends a signal that is associated with the one or more compliance rules to the compliance computer.
