Solution Overview

Problem

Credentialed systems often fail to inform users of available options and resources, leading to unawareness of potential benefits such as canceling private mortgage insurance (PMI) and managing escrow accounts, which can result in missed financial opportunities.

Innovation Solution

A computing system that monitors loan-to-value ratios and triggers notifications to users when they qualify for new earmarking capabilities, allowing them to allocate resources to interest-bearing self-escrow accounts via an encrypted session, enabling informed decisions on PMI cancellation and escrow management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a credentialed system is implemented to verify and validate user qualifications, then information security and access control are improved, but users become unaware of available options and resources such as earmarking capabilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoiduser awareness of options
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system proactively notifies users in advance when they become eligible for earmarking capabilities based on monitored events (such as loan-to-value ratio thresholds). This preliminary notification ensures users are informed of available options before they might independently discover them, resolving the contradiction by maintaining security while preventing information loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism that continuously monitors user qualifications and provides timely notifications when earmarking capabilities become available. This feedback loop ensures users remain informed of their options without compromising the security of the credentialed system, as the notification is automatically triggered by system-monitored events rather than user requests.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If users are provided access to information via the credentialed system, then communication is protected via encrypted session, but users may not be aware of all available options to utilize various resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication protectionVSAvoiduser utilization of resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system proactively informs users of available earmarking capabilities before they can utilize them, ensuring users are aware of all resource options. The encrypted session protects this information delivery, simultaneously achieving both communication protection and enhanced user adaptability to available resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically monitors user qualifications and triggers notifications without requiring users to actively search for information. This self-service approach ensures users receive information about available options while maintaining encrypted communication, thereby improving both protection and resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of information

If the system monitors events and triggers notifications to inform users of earmarking capabilities, then user awareness is improved, but additional processing and communication overhead is introduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser awarenessVSAvoidsystem processing overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system monitors specific parameters (such as loan-to-value ratios) and triggers notifications only when predefined threshold conditions are met. This parameter-based approach improves user awareness of earmarking opportunities while minimizing system overhead by avoiding continuous or unnecessary notifications, thus resolving the contradiction between information delivery and processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Productivity

If users are notified of previously inaccessible earmarking capabilities, then financial benefits are enhanced, but requires secure credential verification and encrypted communication infrastructure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefinancial benefitVSAvoidsecurity infrastructure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary credential verification and establishes encrypted communication channels before notifying users of earmarking capabilities. This ensures that only authenticated users receive financial benefit notifications, while the security infrastructure is already in place to protect the communication, thus achieving both productivity enhancement and security requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Systems and methods for earmarking via an encrypted session of a credentialed system identify an event associated with a threshold ratio, the event enabling a user to qualify for one or more previously inaccessible earmarking capabilities and triggering notification(s) to be issued via a credentialed system. Further, systems and methods determine that the user inputs security credential(s) to access the encrypted session of the credentialed system associated with the user, and transmit, via the credentialed system, notification(s) to be displayed via a user interface of a user device being used to access the credentialed system that indicate the user qualifies for the one or more previously inaccessible earmarking capabilities. An input is received, by the credentialed system via a user interface, from the user indicating an intention to earmark resource(s), the earmarking including allocating the resource(s) to a credentialed location specific to the user and associated with the credentialed system.
