Solution Overview

Problem

Service businesses, particularly those with large numbers of employees, customers, and properties (like casinos), face challenges in gaining a comprehensive understanding of their operations and customers due to overwhelming data volumes and inefficiencies in data analysis, often requiring costly external data scientists or tedious internal processes.

Innovation Solution

A platform with a software foundation and backend that collects, organizes, and analyzes data from multiple property databases, providing customizable user interface elements for managing services, including player profiling, comp management, and action management, allowing businesses to choose which features to activate and deactivate as needed without requiring additional data retrieval.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a service business collects and stores comprehensive data from multiple property databases to gain a complete understanding of operations and customers, then the understanding depth and customer insight improve, but the data volume and system complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomer understandingVSAvoiddata management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments data management into modular components: multiple property databases are divided into separate entities, each with its own data structure. User interface elements are segmented into independently selectable components (player profiling, comp management, action management, etc.). This segmentation allows comprehensive data collection while managing complexity through modular organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-collecting and organizing data from multiple property databases before it is needed for analysis. Data is retrieved and stored in advance in a structured format, so when user interface elements are activated, the data is already prepared and available, eliminating the need for complex real-time data processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If a service business activates multiple user interface elements simultaneously to access comprehensive data, then operational efficiency improves, but the data retrieval time and system load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational efficiencyVSAvoiddata retrieval time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Data from all property databases is retrieved and organized in advance before any user interface elements are activated. This preliminary data preparation ensures that when multiple interface elements are simultaneously activated, the data is already available in memory, eliminating retrieval delays and maintaining high operational efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous data availability by keeping retrieved data in an accessible state. Once data is retrieved from the databases, it remains available for all user interface elements without needing repeated retrieval operations, ensuring continuous and efficient access across multiple activated features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Measurement precision

If a service business retrieves data from multiple property databases each time a user interface element is activated, then data accuracy is maintained, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system retrieves and validates data from multiple property databases in advance, before user interface elements are activated. This preliminary retrieval ensures data accuracy is established upfront, and the same accurate data is then reused across all activated interface elements without repeated retrieval operations, significantly reducing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The retrieved data serves multiple functions across different user interface elements. The same comprehensive data set is used for player profiling, comp management, action management, and other features simultaneously, eliminating the need to retrieve data multiple times for different purposes and reducing overall processing time while maintaining accuracy.

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

AI summary

Data associated a plurality of user interface elements may be retrieved from at least one database associated with a service business, such as a casino. At a first time, a first indication to turn on a first subset of the plurality of user interface elements may be received. The user interface elements may include content management, task management, property management, action management, player profiling, comp management, player development, asset tagging and flagging, profitability and comparative analysis, player insights, floor mapping, campaign management, etc. Each of the first subset of user interface elements may be populated with the respective data associated that user interface element.
