Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional data exchange systems are inefficient in systematically gathering, scoring, valuating, and exchanging data across a wide range, limiting its use to its highest value due to limited availability and lack of systematic methods for data valuation and certification.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for valuing datasets through a combination of objective and subjective scoring, using a DIM score that considers data size, information quality, and meaning, with certification processes to ensure data quality and provenance, enabling secure and efficient data exchange across platforms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional data capture methods are used by individual entities, then data can be collected and exploited by the entity, but data availability to other entities is limited and data cannot be used at its highest value

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata availabilityVSAvoiddata exchange system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a data exchange platform as an intermediary between data providers and data consumers. This platform includes a valuation module that automatically scores datasets using multiple criteria (completeness, accuracy, timeliness, relevance) and a matching module that connects data with potential users. This intermediary system resolves the contradiction by enabling broad data availability while managing complexity through automated valuation and matching mechanisms rather than direct peer-to-peer negotiations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The data exchange platform is designed as a universal system that serves multiple functions: data submission, automated valuation, quality certification, matching, and exchange facilitation. This multi-functional platform can handle diverse data types and serve various user needs within a single system, increasing data availability across different entities without requiring separate systems for each use case.

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

2Productivity

If data is captured by professional entities for commercial exploitation, then data can be marketed to commercial entities, but systematic gathering and exchanging across a wide-ranging market is not enabled

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata exchange efficiencyVSAvoidvaluation and certification process
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The platform implements self-service mechanisms where datasets automatically undergo valuation and quality assessment when submitted. The valuation module autonomously scores data based on predefined criteria, and the certification process is automated rather than requiring manual review for each dataset. This self-service approach increases data exchange productivity by eliminating bottlenecks while the standardized automated processes manage complexity through consistency and scalability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses parameter-based valuation where datasets are assessed against multiple quantifiable parameters (completeness, accuracy, timeliness, relevance) and assigned scores accordingly. This parameter-driven approach enables systematic evaluation of diverse data types through consistent metrics, improving exchange efficiency while managing complexity through standardized assessment criteria that can be applied uniformly across the platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If data exchange is limited to traditional methods, then existing data can be exploited by current entities, but data cannot be exchanged in a wide-ranging and efficient market

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemarket reachVSAvoiddata valuation and certification time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The platform performs preliminary valuation and quality certification of datasets at the time of submission, before any exchange transactions occur. This advance assessment establishes the data's value and suitability upfront, enabling rapid matching and exchange without delays during the transaction process. The preliminary action extends market reach by pre-qualifying data for various uses while minimizing time loss through one-time assessment rather than repeated evaluations during exchange.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual data valuation and certification processes with automated computational algorithms. The valuation module uses algorithmic scoring based on multiple parameters, and certification is performed through automated verification rather than human review. This substitution dramatically reduces valuation and certification time while extending market reach through scalable automated processing that can evaluate numerous datasets simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
