Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in digesting large amounts of electronic data without contextual information, and there is a need to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, as existing technologies fail to provide relevant and secure data presentation.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of electronic data card enhancements, including content enrichment and metric trending analysis, along with data masking features, to provide contextual data and protect sensitive information by applying value-added features to data, determining applicable enhancements, and presenting them in a secure manner.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If users access large amounts of electronic data, then data availability increases, but data comprehension difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata availabilityVSAvoiddata comprehension
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments large volumes of electronic data into structured data cards with specific fields (e.g., patient name, diagnosis, treatment). Each data card presents information in discrete, manageable units that are easier to comprehend while maintaining comprehensive data availability through systematic organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing system that automatically enriches raw data with contextual information (e.g., adding ICD-10 code descriptions, procedure details) before presentation to users. This intermediary layer bridges the gap between raw data availability and user comprehension without requiring users to directly process overwhelming volumes of unstructured information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If contextual information is added to data, then data understanding improves, but data complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata understandingVSAvoiddata structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-enriching data cards with contextual information (e.g., adding code descriptions, procedure names, and relevant metadata) during data ingestion and processing. This upfront enrichment reduces the need for complex real-time processing and simplifies the data structure presented to users, as contextual information is already integrated before presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Quantity of substance

If data is made accessible to users, then information availability improves, but data security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation availabilityVSAvoiddata security risks
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing field-level security controls where different portions of data cards have different access permissions. Sensitive fields (e.g., social security numbers, detailed financial information) can be restricted to specific user roles while allowing broader access to less sensitive information (e.g., diagnosis codes, treatment types). This enables information availability for authorized users while maintaining security for sensitive data through granular, location-specific access controls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
