Dynamic Digital Contract Generation via Template Data Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional contracts are static, difficult to modify in real-time, and lack validation and customization, leading to errors and unnecessary terms, which can result in invalid or dissatisfied contract participants.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for generating dynamic digital contracts using a graphical user interface on a client device, allowing real-time regeneration based on user input, including adding, removing, or modifying options and incorporating data validation to ensure accuracy and relevance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional contracts are pre-written and stored as static PDF documents, then the contract structure is stable and easy to store, but the contract cannot be easily modified in real-time and requires manual printing and editing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms static PDF contracts into dynamic digital contracts that can be modified in real-time. The system uses a database-driven architecture where contract templates and data are stored separately, allowing dynamic generation and modification of contracts without requiring manual printing and editing, while maintaining structured integrity through template constraints.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates digital copies of contracts that can be dynamically regenerated from template data. Instead of modifying existing PDF files, the system generates new contract instances by combining templates with data from databases, allowing multiple versions to coexist without altering the original template structure.
2Reliability
If conventional contracts include all possible terms and conditions, then the contract is comprehensive, but it includes unnecessary terms and creates empty space or extra pages
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making contract content conditional and context-specific. Different contract sections are dynamically included or excluded based on the specific transaction type, product category, and selected options. This ensures that each contract contains only the relevant terms and conditions needed for that particular agreement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the contract into modular template sections that can be independently configured and assembled. Contract templates are divided into reusable components (headers, product descriptions, terms, conditions, signatures) that can be selectively combined based on the specific transaction requirements, eliminating unnecessary content.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional contracts allow free text input, then users can add any information, but the contract may include invalid data that does not match manufacturer specifications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms through data validation rules that check input data against manufacturer specifications and product catalogs. When users input product information, the system validates the data in real-time and provides feedback on whether the inputs are valid, preventing invalid data from being included in the contract.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary validation of input data before it is incorporated into the contract. The system pre-defines valid product options, specifications, and parameters in the database, and checks user inputs against these predefined values before allowing contract generation, ensuring data validity while maintaining user flexibility.
4Ease of operation
If conventional contracts are modified by overlaying text fields, then existing text can be modified, but the contract does not create a new copy and fields do not move around existing text
Solution Approach 1:
The patent generates complete new copies of contracts from templates rather than overlaying fields on existing PDFs. Each contract is dynamically assembled by combining template structures with data from the database, creating clean, new document instances that can be freely modified through data changes without complex overlay operations.
Data Source
AI summary
System, method, and a computer program product that generate a dynamic digital contract are provided. A category that is included in the digital contract is selected using a graphical user interface of an application executing on a client device. A template associated with the category is retrieved from memory storage. The template is also associated with a plurality of options that specify the layout of the digital contract, display text of the digital contract and receive additional input. Data associated with the template is retrieved. The digital contract is generated by incorporating the data into the plurality of options. The digital contract is then formatted using parameters of the client device. Once generated, the digital contract is displayed on the display screen of the client device.
