Solution Overview

Problem

Existing enterprise computer systems face challenges in providing users with ready access to relevant technical documentation, as documentation is often scattered across different libraries and components, leading to irrelevant search results and inefficient use of technical resources.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for implementing customized technical documentation sets based on entitled technology and context, which involves accessing a technical documentation library, scanning it based on technical entitlements, and generating a customized set for each system environment. This system monitors DevOps events to trigger updates and revisions of the documentation sets.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If a comprehensive technical documentation library is maintained across multiple components and environments, then the completeness of documentation is improved, but the relevance and accessibility of documentation to specific users deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of documentationVSAvoidaccessibility of documentation
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the comprehensive documentation library into multiple customized documentation sets, each tailored to specific user roles or system environments. The system divides the large documentation corpus into smaller, role-specific subsets that are more manageable and relevant to individual users, thereby improving accessibility while maintaining overall completeness through the existence of multiple specialized sets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by creating documentation sets with different characteristics tailored to specific user groups. Each customized documentation set is optimized for the specific needs, roles, or environments of its target audience, providing high relevance and ease of access for that particular group while the overall system maintains comprehensive coverage across all user types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Quantity of substance

If technical documentation is organized across multiple interconnected components and environments, then the comprehensiveness of the documentation is improved, but the time required to find relevant documentation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive coverageVSAvoidsearch time
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-organizing and pre-filtering documentation into customized sets before users need to search. The system proactively segments and categorizes documentation based on user roles, systems, or environments in advance, so that when a user accesses the system, relevant documentation is already prepared and readily available, eliminating the need for time-consuming searches through comprehensive but disorganized documentation libraries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Stability of the object's composition

If a single enterprise-level documentation library is used, then the consistency of documentation standards is improved, but the relevance of documentation to specific system environments deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconsistency of documentation standardsVSAvoidrelevance to system environments
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the enterprise-level documentation into multiple customized documentation sets while maintaining a master library that ensures consistency. Each segment is tailored to specific system environments or user roles, allowing adaptation to different contexts while the overarching documentation architecture maintains standardized standards through the master library and common documentation frameworks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent achieves universality by creating a multi-functional documentation system where a single enterprise-level library serves multiple purposes through its customized subsets. The master library maintains consistent standards and serves as a universal reference, while customized sets adapt this universal foundation to specific system environments, making the documentation system both consistent and highly relevant across different contexts.

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