GIS Project Template for Actuarial Map Review
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications in the insurance and financial industries are manually intensive, slow, and inaccurate, making it difficult to comply with regulatory review timelines and maintain accuracy in actuarial review processes.
Innovation Solution
A project template within a GIS application is provided, including selectable workspace pages and layout pages that display map content based on activated map attributes, allowing for automated preparation and display of map information, reducing manual effort and errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If GIS applications are operated manually by trained individuals, then the processing can be completed with basic tools, but the process becomes slow and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring project templates with all necessary map layers, data sources, and display parameters before the actual review process begins. This allows the GIS application to automatically assemble and display relevant geographic information without requiring manual configuration during the review, thereby maintaining ease of operation while significantly improving processing speed and productivity.
2Measurement precision
If more time is allocated for GIS application processing, then the accuracy of information can be improved, but compliance with regulatory review timelines becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction by performing all data preparation, map layer configuration, and parameter setup in advance through pre-configured project templates. During the actual review process, the system simply displays pre-processed information, ensuring both high accuracy and compliance with regulatory timelines without requiring extended processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies self-service by automatically retrieving and displaying the appropriate map layers and geographic data based on the pre-configured project template parameters. The GIS application autonomously assembles the required information without requiring manual intervention or extended processing time, thereby maintaining accuracy while meeting regulatory deadlines.
3Device complexity
If manual processing is used in GIS applications, then the system requires fewer automated features, but the process becomes intensive and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the GIS application to automatically retrieve, assemble, and display map layers and geographic data based on pre-configured project templates. This automation eliminates manual processing errors while maintaining system simplicity through template-based configuration, thereby improving reliability without significantly increasing device complexity.
