Solution Overview

Problem

Big data often contains incomplete or nonsensical information, leading to inaccurate analysis and prediction due to improperly classified or unidentified identifiers.

Innovation Solution

A method that determines unidentified identifiers within aggregated data by transmitting them to a third-party service provider's search interface, parsing results for common patterns, and associating classifications based on these patterns, with user validation and scoring to ensure accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If data is collected from a variety of different sources, then the quantity and diversity of data increases, but the data becomes incomplete or nonsensical leading to inaccurate analysis

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of dataVSAvoidaccuracy of data
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary classification system that acts as a mediator between raw aggregated data and analysis processes. Unknown identifiers are routed through a classification interface where they are matched against known identifiers using similarity metrics. This intermediary process filters and validates data before it reaches analysis systems, resolving the contradiction by maintaining data quantity while improving reliability through automated classification and verification mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If automated classification is performed on unidentified identifiers, then data processing efficiency increases, but classification accuracy may decrease without proper verification

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidclassification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where classification results are verified against multiple criteria including similarity thresholds, user input, and cross-referencing with known identifier databases. The system continuously refines its classification accuracy by learning from verification outcomes and adjusting its matching algorithms. This feedback loop maintains high processing efficiency while ensuring classification accuracy through iterative validation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary classification actions on unidentified identifiers before final analysis occurs. By pre-classifying identifiers using automated matching against known databases and establishing confidence scores in advance, the system prepares data for subsequent verification steps. This preliminary action enables efficient batch processing while maintaining accuracy through pre-validation mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If manual verification of identifiers is performed, then classification accuracy improves, but the time and resources required increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidtime for verification
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial verification action by performing automated classification on all identifiers first, then applying manual or enhanced verification only to cases that fall below a confidence threshold or exhibit ambiguous characteristics. This selective approach achieves high overall accuracy by focusing verification resources on problematic cases while leaving clear cases to be processed automatically, thereby reducing total verification time while maintaining precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
