Solution Overview

Problem

Current business intelligence tools lack the capability for automatic, contextual reporting, requiring painstaking human review and analysis, which is inefficient and prone to errors, especially in industries like pharmaceuticals where delays can lead to significant financial losses.

Innovation Solution

A computing system equipped with a processor and memory that includes a rules engine to analyze incoming data and automatically generate context reports based on flagging criteria, such as a threshold number of quality assurance reports, providing contextual information for flagged data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automatic reporting is implemented, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereporting efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the reporting process into distinct components: data collection modules that gather operational data, analysis modules that process the data against predefined criteria, and report generation modules that create contextualized reports. This segmentation allows automatic reporting functionality to be added without overwhelming system complexity, as each component can be developed and maintained independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining reporting criteria, thresholds, and contextual relationships before actual reporting is needed. Business rules, data relationships, and report templates are established in advance, enabling the system to automatically generate contextualized reports when conditions are met, without requiring complex real-time decision-making logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of time

If contextual analysis is performed automatically, then loss of time is reduced, but measurement precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereport generation timeVSAvoiddata analysis accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where generated reports are reviewed and validated, and results are fed back into the system to refine analysis criteria and improve future reporting accuracy. This allows the system to maintain high measurement precision through iterative improvement while keeping report generation time short through automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial analysis by focusing computational resources on only the most critical data points and relationships that meet predefined flagging criteria. Rather than analyzing all data with equal depth, the system performs targeted analysis on specific subsets of data that are most relevant to the reporting objectives, reducing overall processing time while maintaining precision where it matters most.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A computing system including a processor and a memory configured to: receive incoming data related to one or more quality assurance business processes; analyze the incoming data to determine data meeting flagging criteria for flagging the incoming data as flagged data, wherein the data meeting flagging criteria indicates that additional context is necessary with respect to the flagged data the incoming data includes a number of quality assurance reports generated within a given period and the flagging criteria includes a threshold number of quality assurance reports generated within the given period such that the incoming data is flagged if the number of reports generated within the given period exceeds the threshold; and automatically generate a context report based on the flagged data, wherein the context report includes, at least, the flagged data and context data that indicates specific flagging criteria of the flagged data.
