Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems lack efficiency in inputting, processing, and displaying data related to alternative assessment and group consensus, particularly in synthesizing diverse parameters and conserving computer resources during assessment processing.

Innovation Solution

The Definitive Pro System (DPS) provides a graphical user interface for collaborative and transparent processing of consensus data, utilizing dynamic team formation and multi-tier data transfer to efficiently input, process, and display group consensus and multi-criteria decisions, incorporating aspects like the analytic hierarchy process for parameter representation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If known systems and methods are used for alternative assessment processing, then data collection and display functions are provided, but technical efficiency and resource conservation are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidcomputer resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments assessment processing into multiple tiers with different levels of detail. Summary views provide aggregated data for quick overview, while detailed views are only generated and transferred when specifically requested, reducing unnecessary data processing and resource consumption while maintaining productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the level of data detail and processing based on user interaction and system state. Data transfer and processing intensity are optimized in real-time, providing comprehensive processing when needed and minimal processing during routine operations, thereby improving efficiency while conserving resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of information

If detailed assessment data is processed and displayed comprehensively, then complete information is provided, but computer resources and data transfer requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment data completenessVSAvoiddata transfer complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system adds a hierarchical dimension to data presentation, organizing assessment data into multiple levels of aggregation. This allows the same comprehensive information to be accessed through different paths - either by drilling down through hierarchical levels or by requesting specific detailed views, reducing the complexity of flat data transfer while preserving information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces intermediate aggregated data layers between raw assessment data and final display output. These intermediaries summarize large volumes of detailed data into manageable forms for routine display, while maintaining the ability to access underlying detailed data when needed, thus reducing data transfer complexity without losing information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If multi-level parameter synthesis is performed, then comprehensive assessment results are generated, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments parameter synthesis into modular processing stages, where different levels of parameters are synthesized separately and then integrated. This modular approach maintains measurement precision by ensuring each synthesis stage is accurate, while reducing overall processing complexity through systematic organization and reuse of intermediate results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
