Solution Overview

Problem

Business managers face challenges in accessing relevant data for decision-making processes, as traditional methods require software programming and switching between report viewing and decision-making tasks, making it difficult to integrate data analysis into the decision-making process.

Innovation Solution

A system that configures embedded intelligence applets to be automatically associated with business processes, allowing users to access data without requiring technical skills, by using a standard report writer interface and exposing fields from the business process for input values, enabling seamless integration of data analysis within the decision-making process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional software programming methods are used to set up data analysis, then data analysis capability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to requiring technical skills and switching between applications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analysis capabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges data analysis functionality directly into the business process interface by embedding intelligence applets within the existing software application. This integration eliminates the need for separate report viewing applications and technical programming, allowing users to access and analyze data directly where they need it during decision-making processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The embedded intelligence system provides self-service by automatically generating and presenting relevant data analysis without requiring user programming or technical expertise. The system autonomously queries databases, processes information, and displays results within the business process interface, enabling users to access analytical capabilities without technical skills.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If embedded intelligence applets are automatically associated with business processes, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases due to integration requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the embedded intelligence system into discrete, modular applets that can be independently associated with specific business processes. Each applet is a self-contained unit that handles a specific analytical function, allowing the system to manage complexity through modular organization rather than monolithic integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The embedded intelligence framework provides universal functionality by establishing a standardized interface and automation mechanism that can accommodate multiple different applets and business processes. This universal architecture simplifies integration complexity by providing a common platform for diverse analytical functions without requiring custom integration code for each scenario.

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