Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for providing information to homeowners, especially when moving to new homes or performing maintenance, are inefficient, lack security and privacy, and fail to provide essential details necessary for informed decisions.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method using machine learning to evaluate home telematics data, generate a home health indicator, and calculate a home score, which includes receiving and analyzing data on property components, user-reported information, and verifying data through third-party databases to provide secure and private recommendations for modifications and maintenance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional methods are used to provide information to homeowners, then information delivery is simple and direct, but the methods are inefficient and lack security and privacy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity and privacyVSAvoidinformation delivery efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a machine learning-based home scoring system as an intermediary between raw home data and homeowners. This intermediary processes telematics data, maintenance records, and property information through ML models to generate comprehensive home scores and recommendations, thereby improving security and privacy while maintaining efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces conventional manual information provision methods with an automated machine learning system. The ML model automatically analyzes home data, generates scores, and provides recommendations without human intervention, thereby eliminating security and privacy concerns associated with manual processes while significantly improving efficiency

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

2Loss of information

If comprehensive home data analysis is performed to provide detailed recommendations, then decision-making information is improved, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of home informationVSAvoidevaluation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the comprehensive home evaluation into distinct components: telematics data collection, maintenance record analysis, property information processing, and ML-based scoring. Each component handles a specific aspect of home assessment, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive information coverage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a multi-functional home scoring system that simultaneously performs data collection, analysis, scoring, and recommendation generation. The machine learning model serves multiple purposes by processing various data types and producing comprehensive home assessments, thereby managing complexity through functional integration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If machine learning models are used to analyze home telematics data, then the precision of home score generation is improved, but the computational resources and time required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehome score accuracyVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary data processing steps that prepare and organize telematics data before ML model analysis. By pre-processing and structuring data in advance, the system reduces the computational burden on the ML model, thereby maintaining high scoring accuracy while decreasing processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial ML analysis by focusing the machine learning model on the most critical data features and aspects of home assessment. Rather than analyzing all data equally, the system identifies and processes key indicators, maintaining precision for the most important scoring factors while reducing overall computational time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
