Solution Overview

Problem

Financial disclosure documents provided by institutions are often not thoroughly read by customers, leading to potential violations of terms due to lack of emphasis on critical information, and existing technologies fail to effectively prioritize sections based on user interaction or financial transaction data.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that analyzes user interaction history and financial transaction data to visually prioritize sections of disclosure documents, using techniques such as highlighting, font changes, and audio cues, to draw attention to relevant information and predict potential violations, thereby improving customer engagement and compliance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If disclosure documents are provided in standard format without customization, then document delivery is simple and fast, but customers do not read them carefully and may violate terms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomer compliance with termsVSAvoiddocument delivery system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of customer interaction history and financial transaction data before generating the disclosure document, pre-identifying critical sections that need emphasis. This advance preparation ensures customers receive personalized documents highlighting relevant terms before they review them, improving compliance without requiring complex real-time processing during document delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of emphasizing the entire document uniformly, the system applies visual prioritization techniques (highlighting, font changes, annotations) selectively to specific critical sections based on customer profile and interaction history. This localized customization ensures important terms receive attention while maintaining document simplicity and avoiding overwhelming the customer with uniform changes throughout.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Loss of information

If the entire document is emphasized equally, then all information is given equal importance, but customers cannot identify critical information and reading time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation visibilityVSAvoiddocument review time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies visual prioritization techniques selectively to specific critical sections rather than the entire document. By analyzing customer interaction history and financial transaction data, it identifies which sections are most relevant to each customer and applies highlighting, font changes, or annotations only to those areas. This ensures critical information stands out while maintaining overall document readability and reducing review time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The disclosure document is segmented into critical and non-critical sections based on customer-specific analysis. Visual prioritization is applied to critical sections to draw attention, while non-critical sections maintain standard formatting. This segmentation allows customers to quickly identify important information without being overwhelmed by emphasis throughout the entire document.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If personalized document generation is implemented, then customer engagement improves, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomer engagement with documentVSAvoiddocument processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of customer interaction history and financial transaction data to pre-identify critical sections and generate personalized emphasis markers before the customer requests the document. This advance preparation enables rapid document generation with customization already in place, improving engagement without adding significant processing time during the actual document delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system focuses computational resources on analyzing only the most relevant customer data (interaction history and financial transactions) rather than processing all available information. By applying visual prioritization to only the most critical sections identified through this targeted analysis, the system achieves effective personalization with reduced processing overhead compared to comprehensive document analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

4Loss of information

If visual prioritization techniques are applied to all sections, then information hierarchy is established, but document appearance becomes cluttered and less professional

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation hierarchy visibilityVSAvoiddocument appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

Visual prioritization techniques such as highlighting, font changes, and annotations are applied selectively only to critical sections identified through customer profile analysis, rather than uniformly across the entire document. This localized application establishes clear information hierarchy in important areas while preserving the professional appearance and clean layout of the overall document.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Systems and methods for facilitating optimization of documents based on prior interactions according to one or more example embodiments are shown. Such systems and methods make use of analyzing information obtained from financial institution computing system as well as other third party networks. Such systems and methods also make use of analyzing information stored from previous interactions with documents (e.g., financial disclosures). In some embodiments, this analysis of data allows for documents, such as disclosure documents, to emphasize features or sections that are of particular interest to the individual receiving the document. Information associated with one or more sections of a disclosure document may be pushed to account holders based on a disclosure associated event.
