Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users access multiple financial and health accounts online through separate institutions, then online service availability and convenience are improved, but user confusion and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveonline service availabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple separate account management systems (financial institutions, health insurers, brokers) into a single integrated online account management system. This allows users to access and manage all accounts through one unified interface, reducing the need to remember multiple usernames and passwords while consolidating previously fragmented services.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The integrated account management system provides universal access to multiple types of accounts (checking, savings, retirement, health insurance, etc.) through a single platform. The system is designed to handle diverse account types and institutions, making it adaptable to various user needs without requiring separate systems for each account category.

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

2Reliability

If users manage multiple financial and health accounts separately, then account security and institutional independence are maintained, but information integration and decision-making capability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccount securityVSAvoidinformation integration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary integrated account management system that connects users to multiple financial and health institutions. This intermediary layer consolidates information from various sources while maintaining the security and independence of individual institutions, allowing users to view and manage all accounts through a single secure interface without compromising institutional data protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If comprehensive online information is made available to users, then information accessibility is improved, but information accuracy and usefulness deteriorate due to overwhelming quantity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidinformation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing customized, personalized information and services based on individual user needs, account types, and preferences. Rather than presenting all possible information uniformly to all users, the system tailors the information display and management capabilities to each user's specific situation, improving the relevance and accuracy of the information presented.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The invention provides a system, method, machine readable program and a graphical user interface for managing multiple accounts associated with a user. The method includes receiving a first set of information associated with identification of a user, in response to the first set of information, identifying a second set of information relating to a financial account associated with the user, the financial account being associated with a financial institution, in response to the first set of information. The method also includes identifying a third set of information relating to a health account associated with the user, the health account being associated with a healthcare institution. A fourth set of information is generated based upon the second set of information and the third set of information. The method also includes sending a signal representative of the fourth set of information. The signal may be sent to the user or a designee of the user.
