Solution Overview

Problem

Existing computer systems face inefficiencies in managing and transmitting evidence across multiple disparate systems, leading to increased latency, resource consumption, and user frustration due to the need for multiple requests and repeated data transmission.

Innovation Solution

An integration system that maps evidence to standards, automatically retrieves and stores evidence from multiple computer systems in a repository, and efficiently transmits the evidence to user devices, reducing the need for multiple requests and minimizing resource consumption on the computer systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users transmit multiple requests to retrieve evidence from different computer systems, then the evidence can be obtained, but the latency and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveevidence retrieval completenessVSAvoidevidence retrieval latency

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by proactively retrieving evidence from multiple computer systems and storing it in the repository before user requests arrive. The integration system continuously monitors and collects evidence data in advance, so when a user requests evidence, it is already available for immediate transmission, eliminating the need for users to initiate multiple retrieval requests and significantly reducing latency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The integration system merges the functionality of multiple computer systems into a single unified repository. Instead of users interacting with multiple disparate systems separately, the integration system consolidates evidence from all systems into one centralized location, allowing users to retrieve all required evidence through a single interface and reducing the number of requests needed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If users transmit multiple requests to retrieve evidence from different computer systems, then the evidence can be obtained, but the resource consumption on computer systems increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveevidence retrieval completenessVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The integration system performs preliminary evidence retrieval and consolidation before user requests occur. By proactively collecting and storing evidence from multiple computer systems in advance, the system eliminates the need for repeated data transmission when users make requests, significantly reducing the computational resources and energy consumed during actual evidence retrieval operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The integration system creates copies of evidence data from the source computer systems and stores these copies in the centralized repository. This allows the original computer systems to retain their data without bearing the burden of repeated request handling, while the integration system serves all user requests from the copied data, thereby reducing the resource consumption on the original systems.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

3Reliability

If users directly access multiple computer systems to obtain evidence, then the evidence can be retrieved, but the complexity of the process increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveevidence retrieval completenessVSAvoidsystem integration complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The integration system acts as an intermediary between users and multiple computer systems. Instead of users directly accessing multiple complex systems, they interact with the single integration system which handles all the complexity of communicating with underlying systems, mapping evidence to standards, and coordinating retrievals. This intermediary layer simplifies the user experience while maintaining complete evidence retrieval capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The integration system provides universal access to evidence from multiple different computer systems through a single unified interface. It performs multiple functions including evidence collection, storage, standard mapping, and retrieval coordination, allowing users to access evidence regardless of its source system without needing to understand or interact with the underlying system complexities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A system can be provided for integrating evidence from multiple sources and providing the evidence to users for satisfying standards. For example, the system can receive a request for evidence associated with a standard from a user device. In response, the system can access a mapping table that relates pieces of evidence to standards based on each piece of evidence satisfying a requirement of each standard. The system may further use the mapping table to determine whether the evidence associated with the standard is in the repository. In response to determining that a piece of evidence associated with the standard is excluded from the repository, the system may transmit a request to a computing system to retrieve the piece of evidence. Upon receiving the piece of evidence, the system can transmit the piece of evidence to the user device and store the piece of evidence in a repository.
