Solution Overview

Problem

Organizations face difficulties in accurately tracking and determining the validation status of events due to the complexity of business policies, administrative rules, or laws, leading to unclear validation statuses of events at a given point in time.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for determining event validation status using an event parameter determination circuit, component authorization circuit, and graphical user interface (GUI) to generate a visual representation of event components and their authorization statuses over time, facilitating timely identification of unfulfilled conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If complex business policies and rules are manually tracked, then comprehensive condition monitoring is attempted, but accuracy and clarity of validation status deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevalidation status accuracyVSAvoidtracking system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments complex event validation into discrete event components, each with specific conditions and authorization statuses. The graphical interface divides the validation timeline into distinct segments showing start time, authorization time, and validation status for each component, making complex tracking manageable and accurate.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary computational layer that automatically processes and tracks event components against business policies and rules. This intermediary system handles the complexity of multiple conditions and their interrelationships, providing clear validation status without requiring manual tracking of all dependencies.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If detailed tracking of all event components is implemented, then comprehensive validation information is obtained, but time to determine validation status increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevalidation information completenessVSAvoiddetermination time

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary tracking of all event components continuously in the background, maintaining up-to-date authorization statuses and condition fulfillment states. When validation status is queried, the pre-computed information is immediately available, eliminating the need for time-consuming analysis at the moment of determination.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a simplified graphical representation (copy) of the complex event component data that displays validation status and timeline information in an easily interpretable format. This visual copy provides complete validation information at a glance without requiring staff to analyze raw data, significantly reducing determination time.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If manual monitoring of event conditions is used, then system simplicity is maintained, but productivity of validation processes decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveevent validation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service automation where event components are automatically tracked, conditions are automatically evaluated against business policies, and validation status is automatically determined and displayed. This eliminates manual monitoring while maintaining system accessibility, dramatically improving validation productivity through automated self-assessment of event readiness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual mechanical tracking processes with automated computational mechanisms. Computer-based circuits and software automatically monitor event components, evaluate conditions, and determine validation status, substituting human effort with automated processing while providing graphical user interfaces for interaction.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

Systems and methods for determining an event validation status are provided. A start time and at least one authorization time for each of a plurality of event components relating to an event can be received. An authorization status of each event component can be determined across a predetermined period of time, based on the start time and the at least one authorization time of each of the plurality of event components. A validation status of the event can be determined across the predetermined period of time, based on the authorization status of each event component across the predetermined period of time. Graphical information corresponding to a visual representation of the authorization status of each event component and the validation status of the event across the predetermined period of time can be generated and displayed on an electronic display device.
