Innovation Solution

A method and system for converting a structured database into an unstructured database using a distributed environment, where a structured database is retrieved, an optimized target data model is generated based on extracted database objects and pre-defined conversion rules, and a Blockchain is created to identify and notify discrepancies in financial transactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If legacy databases are modernized using traditional methods, then system functionality is improved, but time consumption and cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem functionalityVSAvoidmodernization time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the database modernization process into distinct components: schema extraction from legacy database, automated mapping to target schema, data transformation rules generation, and incremental migration. This segmentation allows parallel processing and reduces overall modernization time while maintaining system functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by automatically generating the target database schema and transformation rules before actual data migration. The system extracts metadata from the legacy database, pre-defines mapping relationships, and validates the target schema structure in advance, enabling faster execution during the actual modernization phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If data is uploaded to new data store using middleware solutions, then data sharing is improved, but data loss risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharingVSAvoiddata integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through automated validation rules that verify data integrity during transformation and migration. The system continuously monitors data consistency between source and target databases, detecting and correcting anomalies in real-time, thus preventing data loss while enabling easy data sharing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an automated data transformation layer as an intermediary between the legacy database and the new data store. This intermediary applies predefined mapping rules and validation logic, ensuring data integrity is maintained during the transition while still enabling seamless data sharing across systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If legacy systems are replaced with modern technology databases, then business requirements adaptability is improved, but economic cost and time resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebusiness requirements adaptabilityVSAvoidmodernization cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a copied and adapted version of the legacy database schema in the target modern database system. Instead of completely redesigning the system, it automatically replicates the essential structure and relationships from the legacy database while adapting to modern database conventions, reducing both cost and time while maintaining business requirements adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies key parameters during migration by automatically adjusting data types, schema structures, and relationship definitions to match modern database requirements. This parameter transformation enables the system to meet current business requirements while avoiding the need for complete system replacement, thereby reducing modernization costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Measurement precision

If bank reconciliation is performed on legacy databases, then transaction discrepancy identification is possible, but process complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediscrepancy identification accuracyVSAvoidreconciliation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual bank reconciliation processes with automated computational algorithms. The system uses machine learning models and rule-based engines to automatically detect transaction discrepancies, eliminating the need for complex manual reconciliation procedures while maintaining high accuracy in identifying issues.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables the database system to perform self-diagnosis and self-correction of transaction discrepancies. The automated reconciliation system continuously monitors data integrity, detects anomalies, and triggers corrective actions without external intervention, reducing process complexity while maintaining high measurement precision for discrepancy identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Embodiments of present disclosure discloses system and method for conversion of structured database into unstructured database. Initially, structured database and database descriptor is retrieved in distributed environment. Structured database comprises data fields, and each of the data fields corresponds to financial transaction. Optimized target data model is generated for storing data in the unstructured database, based on at least one of database objects extracted from data fields of structured database, and pre-defined conversion rules. Further, a Blockchain comprising blocks corresponding to each financial transaction of structured database. Each of the blocks comprise at least one of extracted database object. Conversion of the database object of each of the blocks into data fields of unstructured database is performed based on optimized target data model and notification corresponding to data fields of unstructured database is generated which are associated with discrepancies corresponding to the financial transaction.
