Solution Overview

Problem

Current risk assessment and mitigation systems for businesses lack an efficient and centralized method to aggregate and analyze global risk data from various geographical locations, failing to provide users with relevant and timely information tailored to their specific locations or interests.

Innovation Solution

A distributed risk analysis system that aggregates data from third-party sources, classifies it based on subject matter, and presents it through a user dashboard, using geo-fencing and machine learning to provide location-specific and relevant risk information, along with a notification module for real-time updates and user interaction features.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If risk data is aggregated from multiple third-party sources across geographical locations, then the comprehensiveness and relevance of risk information is improved, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensiveness of risk informationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments risk data aggregation by geographical locations and third-party sources, organizing data from multiple locations (e.g., New York, London, Tokyo) into location-specific risk profiles. This segmentation allows comprehensive global risk coverage while managing complexity through structured regional categorization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a centralized risk analysis platform as an intermediary that receives, standardizes, and processes data from multiple third-party sources. This intermediary layer harmonizes diverse data formats and protocols, enabling comprehensive information aggregation without proportionally increasing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If risk analysis is customized for specific locations and user interests, then the relevance and usefulness of information is improved, but the data processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverelevance of risk informationVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary risk analysis and categorization at the time of data ingestion, pre-processing risk data by location, severity, and type before user requests. This preliminary action enables rapid retrieval and customization of relevant risk information without requiring extensive real-time processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements location-specific risk profiles that tailor risk analysis to particular geographical regions and user contexts. Each location receives customized risk assessments based on local third-party data sources and regional risk factors, maximizing information relevance while optimizing processing efficiency through localized data handling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Speed

If real-time risk updates and user interaction features are implemented, then the timeliness and engagement of the system is improved, but the computational load and system resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time update speedVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic risk assessment updates rather than continuous real-time processing, refreshing risk profiles at optimized intervals based on data source update frequencies and risk severity levels. This periodic approach maintains timely information while significantly reducing computational resource consumption compared to continuous real-time analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
