Solution Overview

Problem

Companies face challenges in providing up-to-date and simplified information to stakeholders, particularly in the healthcare industry, due to the complexity and periodic nature of multi-page documents, which can lead to stale information and inefficient management of financial data and payouts.

Innovation Solution

A display tool with a graphical user interface that processes and displays financial data, including EBITDA, shares, and payouts for various company members, allowing continuous updates and streamlined management of healthcare practices, enabling efficient tracking and payment processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multi-page paper or electronic documents are used to provide company information, then comprehensive data coverage is achieved, but information complexity and accessibility deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevolume of dataVSAvoidinformation accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments comprehensive financial data into distinct visual modules including summary cards showing key metrics (EBITDA, shares, payouts), detailed tables for share distributions, and graphical representations. This segmentation allows stakeholders to access specific information areas without navigating through complex multi-page documents, directly resolving the contradiction between comprehensive data coverage and information accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms traditional two-dimensional document navigation into a multi-dimensional visual interface with hierarchical information display. Summary-level data appears in prominent card formats, while detailed data can be expanded or viewed in adjacent panels. This dimensional transformation enables comprehensive data presentation while maintaining ease of access through visual navigation rather than sequential document reading.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Stability of the object's composition

If periodic document updates are implemented, then information completeness is maintained, but information freshness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidinformation freshness
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous data updates through automated connections to financial systems, ensuring that share values, EBITDA figures, and payout information are constantly refreshed without requiring periodic document regeneration. The visual interface continuously displays current data states, eliminating the time lag inherent in periodic document updates while maintaining complete financial information through ongoing system synchronization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-updating by automatically connecting to financial data sources, calculating current share values, and refreshing the visual display without human intervention. This self-service mechanism ensures information freshness is maintained continuously while completeness is preserved through automated data collection from multiple financial systems, resolving the contradiction between stability and freshness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If detailed financial tracking for multiple member types is implemented, then financial management accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefinancial data accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal visual interface framework that handles multiple member types (founding members, equity contributing members, non-equity contributing members) through a single integrated system. The same display templates and calculation mechanisms serve all member categories, with automatic adaptation to specific member types. This universality maintains precise financial tracking for diverse members while avoiding the complexity of separate systems for each member category.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses parameter-based configuration to manage different member types, where financial calculations and display formats automatically adjust based on member category parameters. This allows precise tracking of complex financial relationships through systematic parameter management rather than complex structural design, resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Loss of information

If manual document preparation and distribution are used, then information detail is comprehensive, but administrative efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation detailVSAvoidadministrative efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual document preparation and distribution mechanisms with automated electronic display systems. Financial data is automatically collected from source systems, processed through calculation algorithms, and presented in standardized visual formats without manual intervention. This substitution maintains comprehensive information detail through automated data capture while dramatically improving administrative efficiency by eliminating manual document creation and distribution processes.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The visual display interface serves as an intermediary layer between financial data sources and stakeholders. This intermediary automatically transforms raw financial data into comprehensible visual presentations, maintaining information completeness while eliminating the need for manual document preparation. The intermediary handles data transformation, formatting, and presentation automatically, resolving the contradiction between information detail and administrative efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

According to one example, a system includes an apparatus having a display, a memory, and one or more processors. For each of one or more non-equity contributing members of a company, the processors determine a value associated with the non-equity contributing member, and display the value in a respective first portion of one or more graphical user interfaces. Also, following each of one or more first periodic intervals, the processors determine a first current EBITDA, determine a bonus payout, and display the bonus payout in a respective second portion that shares a column or row with the respective first portion. Furthermore, following the sale of the company, the processors determine a second current EBITDA, determine a sale payout, and display the sale payout in a respective third portion that shares the column or row with the respective first portion. Additional processes are performed for other members of the company.
