Solution Overview

Problem

Existing software applications, such as ERP and accounting systems, fail to provide accurate and timely resource compliance information across different domains due to the complexity of varying rules and domains, leading to inefficiencies in computing resources.

Innovation Solution

A computer system determines nexus establishment conditions for multiple domains, computes resources accordingly, and adjusts computations based on nexus-ending dates, ensuring compliance and resource tracking in real-time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional ERP and accounting applications are used to compute resource compliance information across multiple domains with varying rules, then the system can process business operations, but the accuracy and timeliness of per-domain resource compliance information deteriorates due to domain-specific rule complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource compliance information accuracyVSAvoiddomain rule complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the compliance computation process by domain, maintaining separate rule sets and computation logic for each domain. This allows domain-specific rules to be applied independently, improving accuracy for each domain while managing overall system complexity through modular organization of rules and computations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts computation parameters based on domain-specific rules. When nexus establishment conditions are met or lost in different domains, the system changes computation parameters (such as whether to compute resources for a domain) according to domain-specific thresholds and regulations, enabling accurate compliance information for each domain.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If comprehensive resource computation is performed for all domains continuously, then complete compliance information is obtained, but computational efficiency and speed deteriorate due to processing all domains regardless of nexus status

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance information completenessVSAvoidresource compliance computation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the scope of resource computation based on real-time nexus status. When an entity loses nexus in a domain, the system automatically stops computing resources for that domain. This dynamic adaptation maintains reliability by ensuring complete compliance information when needed while improving productivity by avoiding unnecessary computations in domains where nexus is lost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors nexus establishment conditions and uses this feedback to adjust computation scope. When nexus status changes, the system receives feedback and modifies its computation behavior accordingly, ensuring accurate and timely compliance information while optimizing computational efficiency by focusing resources only on active domains.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of time

If real-time monitoring of nexus conditions is implemented, then timely compliance information is provided, but system complexity and computational overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance information timelinessVSAvoidnexus monitoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing nexus monitoring mechanisms and pre-defining domain-specific rules. This allows the system to be ready to detect nexus changes immediately without requiring complex real-time analysis, reducing the computational overhead of continuous monitoring while maintaining timeliness of compliance information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A service engine determines that an entity meets a first nexus establishment condition for a first domain and a second nexus establishment condition for a second domain. The service engine then computes a first selected resource for the first domain and a second selected resource for the second domain. When the service engine determines that the entity no longer meets the second nexus establishment condition for the second domain, the service engine determines a nexus-ending date for the second domain. Prior to the nexus-ending date being satisfied, the service engine continues to compute the first selected resource for the first domain and the second selected resource for the second domain. In response to the nexus-ending date being satisfied, the service engine computes the first selected resource for the first domain but does not compute the second selected resource for the second domain.
