Solution Overview

Problem

The lack of clear criteria and pricing for health data acquired from surveys makes it difficult to sell health data efficiently, and there is a need for a method to determine appropriate prices for health data based on sensitivity and asking price information.

Innovation Solution

A method is provided to determine price information for health data by acquiring sensitivity information and asking price information from survey participants, calculating individual and overall correlations between sensitivity and asking price, and using these correlations to provide type-specific and period-specific price information for the health data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If health data is collected through surveys to improve data availability, then quantity of health data increases, but pricing accuracy deteriorates due to lack of clear criteria

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of health dataVSAvoidpricing accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the pricing approach by changing parameters from fixed arbitrary prices to dynamic prices based on sensitivity analysis. It introduces new parameters including sensitivity scores, willingness-to-pay metrics, and correlation coefficients that link data characteristics to pricing decisions, enabling accurate pricing for large volumes of survey data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary pricing determination system that acts as a mediator between data collectors and buyers. This system uses sensitivity analysis results and correlation indicators as intermediate variables to translate raw survey data into objectively determined prices, resolving the pricing accuracy problem

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If individual survey responses are analyzed to improve pricing objectivity, then measurement precision improves, but device complexity increases due to multiple analysis steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepricing objectivityVSAvoidanalysis system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the pricing determination process into distinct analytical modules: sensitivity analysis module, correlation analysis module, and pricing determination module. Each module handles a specific aspect of the analysis independently, making the complex system more manageable and implementable through standardized procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service through automated sensitivity analysis and correlation calculations that do not require manual intervention. The methodology enables the system to independently determine pricing based on pre-established analytical frameworks, reducing operational complexity despite the sophisticated analysis performed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
