Solution Overview

Problem

Current credential verification processes for employment are inefficient and error-prone, often requiring duplicate verification by multiple third-party entities without knowledge of previous verifications, leading to inaccuracies and inefficiencies.

Innovation Solution

A method that receives and verifies initial employment-related information, assigns scores based on verified data, and updates scores over time, utilizing a computing environment to streamline the process and reduce duplication, ensuring accurate and efficient scoring for employability and employment performance characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If each organization hires a third-party entity to verify credentials independently, then credential verification can be performed for each organization, but verification efficiency decreases and duplication occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecredential verification accuracyVSAvoidverification efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple independent credential verification processes into a single centralized verification system. Once credentials are verified by one organization through the system, the verification result is stored and automatically shared with other organizations, eliminating redundant verification efforts while maintaining verification accuracy across all organizations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The verification system is designed to serve multiple organizations simultaneously with a single verification instance. The system provides universal credential verification services that benefit all participating organizations, allowing one verification result to be universally accepted across multiple employers rather than requiring separate verifications for each.

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

2Productivity

If multiple third-party entities verify credentials independently, then each organization can obtain verification, but errors and inaccuracies increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification coverageVSAvoidverification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where verification results are continuously updated and refined. When credentials are verified once, the result is fed back into the system and made available to all subsequent queries, ensuring consistent and accurate verification across all organizations while preventing error propagation from multiple independent verification attempts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If credentials are verified by multiple different third-party entities at different times, then comprehensive verification is achieved, but time and resources are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification completenessVSAvoidverification time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs credential verification in advance and stores the results for future use. When an organization needs to verify credentials, the system checks if verification has already been performed and retrieves the pre-computed results, eliminating the need for repeated verification processes and significantly reducing time consumption while maintaining complete verification coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A first method and system includes receiving initial information related to a person; verifying the accuracy of the initial information; assigning a plurality of scores to the person, the plurality of scores having a plurality of score types, each of the plurality of scores having a score value and a score type; and setting the score value of at least one of the plurality of scores based on the verified initial information. A second method and system includes, for each person of a plurality of persons, assigning a plurality of scores, each of the plurality of scores having a score type and a score value, the score value of at least one of the plurality of scores being based on verified information; receiving a request for information related to a specific score type and a specific score value; and determining a portion of the plurality of persons which have scores related to the specific score type and specific score value.
