Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional manual filling of product recall templates is inefficient, time-consuming, and prone to errors due to the large number of vendors and end users involved, necessitating a more automated and accurate system for generating and distributing recall notifications.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for auto-filling consignment recall templates using a processor and memory to provide a user interface for selecting objects, retrieving data from a database, and generating recalling prompts based on semantic or vector similarity, thereby automating the template population and distribution process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual filling of recall templates is used, then accuracy of data entry can be maintained through human review, but productivity and time efficiency deteriorate due to the large number of vendors and end users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of data entryVSAvoidspeed of template generation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically retrieving data from existing database records and populating recall templates without requiring manual data entry. The automated system serves itself by querying vendor and product information from the database and generating templates autonomously, eliminating the need for human operators to manually fill each field while maintaining data accuracy through systematic data retrieval.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual filling process with an automated computer-based system. Instead of human operators manually entering data into templates, the system uses automated data retrieval mechanisms that query the database and populate templates programmatically, substituting human manual labor with automated computational processes that are both faster and equally accurate.

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

2Productivity

If automated data retrieval is implemented, then productivity and time efficiency improve, but device complexity increases due to database integration requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of template generationVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves multi-functionality by integrating multiple capabilities into a single automated template generation platform. It combines database querying, data validation, template population, and recall notification delivery into one unified system. This universal system handles various recall scenarios (different vendors, products, and distribution channels) through a single integrated architecture, making the added complexity worthwhile by delivering comprehensive automation across the entire recall workflow.

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

3Device complexity

If manual template filling is used, then system complexity remains low, but loss of time increases due to repetitive data entry for numerous vendors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of system structureVSAvoidtime for data entry
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies preliminary action by pre-retrieving and storing vendor, product, and distribution data in the database before recall events occur. When a recall is initiated, the system simply queries this pre-organized data and populates templates automatically. This preliminary organization of data eliminates the need for time-consuming manual data entry during actual recall events, as all information is already prepared and readily accessible in the database.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present invention disclosure provides a system for auto-filling a consignment recalling template. The system comprising a processor and a memory coupled with each other. According to an embodiment, the processor, of the system, is configured to provide a User Interface (UI) to one or more entities, said UI displaying a template and a plurality of objects for selection by the entity, where the entity distributes products to one or more end users. Further, the processor is configured to identify at least one product to be recalled from the one or more end users and select at least one object from the plurality of objects, the object representing a field associated with the template. Further, the processor is configured to retrieve, based on the selection on the at least one object, one or more data corresponding to the at least one object from a database. Further, the processor is configured to auto-fill the selected fields of the template based on the one or more data retrieved from the database. Further, the processor is configured to generate at least one recalling prompt based on auto-filled template and send the generated recalling prompt to the one or more end.
