Solution Overview

Problem

Current digital platforms do not fully leverage information technology and connectivity to facilitate global value networks, limiting innovation, efficiency, wealth creation, and social well-being across individuals, groups, and organizations.

Innovation Solution

A digital platform that captures value interactions by organizing users into structured categories, providing tools, content, and incentives, and enabling interactions from value creation to consumption, with features like role mapping, catalog creation, and targeted advertising.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If digital platforms use basic connectivity and interaction tools, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but value creation efficiency and innovation capability are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevalue creation efficiencyVSAvoidplatform structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The platform is segmented into distinct functional modules including catalog module, role mapping module, interaction module, and incentive module. Each module handles specific aspects of value network operations, allowing complex functionality to be achieved through organized, manageable components that can operate independently yet cooperatively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The digital platform is designed as a universal system that can facilitate multiple types of value networks across different industries and organizational structures. The same core infrastructure supports diverse interactions including value creation, exchange, consumption, and collaboration among various user roles such as individuals, groups, companies, and public agencies

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If comprehensive user interaction tools are provided, then value network capability is enhanced, but system complexity and operational difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevalue network facilitation capabilityVSAvoiduser interaction simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The platform implements automated role mapping that assigns users to appropriate value network roles based on their interactions and profile data without requiring manual configuration. The system automatically determines user capabilities, permissions, and network placements, reducing operational complexity while maintaining high adaptability to different user types and interaction scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If the platform captures detailed value interactions, then value cycle quality is improved, but data processing time and storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevalue cycle tracking accuracyVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The catalog module pre-structures value network data schemas, interaction types, and measurement frameworks before actual value exchanges occur. By establishing standardized data capture templates and processing rules in advance, the system can efficiently record and analyze value interactions as they happen without requiring complex real-time data structuring or processing decisions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method and system to develop a digital platform by organizing of data sets, interactions and communications of the participants in structured categories and thereby deriving value networks of any economic entity or industry comprising of individuals or groups or legal entities or any combination of those to facilitate, enhance and encourage evolving value network cycles commencing from value creation to value consumption. The platform may comprise a service database configured to store information associated with value networks, a user interface coupled with and configured to interact with the service database, a search engine coupled with the user interface and configured to perform searches in the service database, a catalog creation and updation module configured to create a catalog and store the same in the service database, said catalog comprising one or more data structures including but not limited to industry, sub-sectors, functions, sub-functions, supporting functions, and components; and further update the value networks thus created.
