Solution Overview

Problem

Large enterprises face challenges in efficiently generating event case management applications due to the need for multiple, complex applications for different types of event cases, which often require sensitive data management and extensive technical support, leading to increased time and cost from concept to implementation.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for automatically generating event case management applications using a standardized approach, where users input criteria such as steps, actions, and data entry documents, and the system generates computer code based on applicable rules, reducing the need for technology support and accelerating the development process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple individual applications are created for different event case types, then each application can be customized for specific case requirements, but the device complexity and time to implement increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization for specific case requirementsVSAvoidnumber of applications
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a single unified event case management application that can handle multiple different types of event cases through configurable parameters and templates. Instead of creating separate applications for each case type, the system uses a universal framework that adapts to different case requirements through configuration, thereby reducing the number of applications needed while maintaining customization capabilities.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the event case management functionality into modular components such as case templates, action templates, and configurable parameters. These segmented modules can be independently configured and combined to handle different case types within a single application, reducing overall complexity while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If web-based collaborative platforms are used for application development, then multiple entities can interact in the development process, but compliance issues arise due to exposure of sensitive material

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollaborative developmentVSAvoidcompliance issues
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a controlled environment or intermediary layer that enables collaborative development while protecting sensitive information. This intermediary mechanism allows multiple entities to work together on application configuration and development without directly exposing sensitive case data, thereby maintaining both collaboration capability and compliance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If class-based object-oriented platforms are used for secure development, then compliance issues are reduced, but the period from concept to market extends to six to twelve months

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure developmentVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements pre-configured templates, pre-defined action patterns, and pre-established security frameworks that can be directly applied to event case management. This preliminary preparation allows organizations to rapidly deploy secure applications without undergoing lengthy development cycles, as the foundational security and functional structures are already in place and can be quickly customized.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables rapid deployment by copying and adapting proven, secure application templates and patterns rather than building applications from scratch. Organizations can replicate successful case management configurations across different case types while maintaining security standards, significantly reducing development time while preserving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

4Adaptability or versatility

If traditional application development approaches are used, then comprehensive functionality can be achieved, but the cost becomes prohibitive

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoiddevelopment cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs lightweight, configurable templates and patterns that can be rapidly created, modified, and discarded as needed without significant investment. Instead of developing expensive, custom-built applications for each case type, the system uses affordable, standardized templates that provide sufficient functionality at a fraction of the cost, enabling organizations to achieve comprehensive functionality economically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

AI summary

A system for generating event case management applications. The system requires input of event case criteria, such as, but not limited to, event case type, steps, actions associated with the steps, actors required to perform the actions, data entry documents/forms and/or data entry elements in the documents/forms, and data entry points. Based on the received inputs and rules associated with the event case type and other event case criteria, the tool automatically generates computer code that creates an event case management application. As such, the tool provides a standardized and streamlined approach to generating event case management applications that requires minimal technology support, is cost efficient and effectively delivers deployable event case management applications in minimal time.
