Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for tracking and monitoring data transfer events are resource-intensive, prone to errors, and lack timely detection of issues, making compliance with regulations challenging.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for automatically generating audit records of data transfer events using a processor to receive, compare, and generate audit reports, including error alerts and compliance responses, displayed on a digital dashboard.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a dedicated system for tracking and monitoring data transfer events is implemented, then data delivery validation and compliance monitoring are improved, but resource consumption and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the audit generation functionality with the existing event processing system. The processor that handles event notifications also generates audit records by comparing event information with expected outcomes, eliminating the need for a separate dedicated tracking system while maintaining reliable data delivery validation.
Solution Approach 2:
The processor is designed to perform multiple functions: handling event notifications, obtaining event information, generating audit records, comparing data accuracy, and transmitting reports. This multi-functional approach reduces system complexity by consolidating what would otherwise require separate specialized systems.
2Productivity
If manual tracking and monitoring methods are used, then system complexity is reduced, but productivity and accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates audit records by having the processor compare event information with expected outcomes and self-transmits the reports. This self-service automation eliminates manual tracking while maintaining controlled system complexity through standardized automated processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary comparison of event information with expected outcomes before generating final audit reports. This preliminary validation action ensures accuracy is built into the automated process, improving productivity without requiring complex post-validation procedures.
3Speed
If real-time monitoring is implemented, then error detection speed is improved, but resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system monitors data transfer events periodically through event notifications rather than continuous monitoring. The processor receives notifications at key event points, obtains information, generates audits, and transmits reports in periodic cycles, achieving real-time error detection while reducing resource consumption compared to continuous monitoring systems.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and a system for automatically generating audit records of data transfer events in order to validate data delivery and to facilitate monitoring and compliance with applicable regulations are provided. The method includes: receiving a notification that an event has commenced; obtaining information that relates to the event, including information that relates to a data transfer that occurs in connection with the event and information that relates to an intended destination and an intended timing of the data transfer; submitting, to a records repository, a request for records that relate to the event; receiving the records; comparing the information that relates to the event with the records; generating, based on a result of the comparison, an audit report that relates to the event; and transmitting the audit report to a predetermined destination.
