Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems face challenges in maintaining up-to-date documentation of process data and rule data, which are frequently updated, leading to outdated information and difficulties for users unfamiliar with complex computer code in interpreting these data sets.

Innovation Solution

A system that electronically receives requests for charts of process data, retrieves the most recent version from a rule data management system, breaks down data into modules, and displays them with generic descriptions on a graphical user interface, reducing manual input and computational resources while providing accurate and easily interpretable visual representations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If process data and rule data are updated frequently, then the data remains current and accurate, but the documentation becomes outdated and manual updates become time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoiddocumentation update time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating documentation from process data and rule data before users need to view it. The graphical user interface is pre-populated with current data, eliminating the need for manual documentation updates and ensuring accuracy without time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system serves itself by automatically retrieving current process data and rule data, generating updated documentation, and presenting it through the graphical user interface without requiring manual intervention. This self-service capability ensures documentation always reflects the latest data state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If computer code is used to govern process data, then data management is precise and automated, but users unfamiliar with code cannot interpret it correctly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata management efficiencyVSAvoiddata interpretability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The graphical user interface acts as an intermediary between the computer code that governs process data and the users who need to interpret it. The GUI translates coded data into visual representations including flowcharts, data models, and formatted text that are easily understandable while maintaining the precision of the underlying code.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates visual copies and representations of the computer code data through the graphical user interface. Instead of showing users the actual code, it generates equivalent visual representations such as flowcharts and data models that convey the same information in an accessible format.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If manual translation of computer code is performed, then users can understand the data, but errors in translation may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata understandabilityVSAvoidtranslation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces the mechanical process of manual translation with an automated computational system. The graphical user interface is automatically generated from the computer code data through systematic processing, eliminating human error while maintaining complete and accurate representation of the underlying data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for retrieval and generation of graphical user interface depicting of graphics associated with rules-based data management. The present invention is configured to electronically receive a request from a user for a chart of process data, wherein the chart of the process data represents the corresponding process data most recently saved in a storage device, electronically receive the process data from a rule data management system and export the chart of the process data. Each of the modules and dependency data are received as inputs, and thereafter the chart displays each of the modules and corresponding module generic descriptions, rule data and corresponding rule generic descriptions, and an execution order.
