Solution Overview

Problem

Insurance providers face challenges in managing and delivering data from multiple disparate sources with different formats, making it difficult to create dynamic views and perform efficient data manipulation, especially when data combinations change frequently.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic data delivery module is implemented to automatically transform and validate source data into a compatible format, allowing for real-time delivery and storage in a mapping system, which geographically maps data to determine risk exposure, and includes secure data transfer mechanisms using public key cryptosystems and symmetric-key cryptosystems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data is manually managed and re-organized from multiple disparate sources, then data compatibility and quality can be maintained, but processing time and operational complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata compatibilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically transforming and validating data from multiple sources before it reaches the impact-on-demand system. The data collection and management component pre-processes data from various disparate sources, converting them into a unified format and verifying quality, thereby eliminating the need for manual re-organization and reducing processing time while maintaining data compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The data collection and management component acts as an intermediary between multiple disparate data sources and the impact-on-demand system. This intermediary component handles the complexity of data format variations and quality issues, allowing the impact-on-demand system to receive consistently formatted data without direct exposure to the complexity of multiple source systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If ad-hoc re-organization of data is performed for dynamic views, then data flexibility and adaptability improve, but system complexity and operational difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata flexibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic data transformation capabilities that automatically adapt to different data formats and requirements. The data collection and management component dynamically adjusts transformation rules based on the source data format and the required output format, enabling flexible data handling without requiring complex manual re-organization processes for each dynamic view.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The data collection and management component serves multiple functions: it collects data from various sources, transforms data into unified formats, validates data quality, and manages data for dynamic views. This multi-functional approach reduces system complexity by consolidating what would otherwise require multiple separate systems into a single comprehensive component.

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

3Reliability

If data validation rules are manually applied, then data quality can be ensured, but processing efficiency and productivity decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata qualityVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The data collection and management component performs self-service validation by automatically applying validation rules to incoming data without manual intervention. The system self-verifies data quality against predefined rules and automatically corrects or rejects data that fails validation, ensuring data quality while significantly improving processing efficiency compared to manual validation methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
