Solution Overview

Problem

Identifying and addressing problematic or unreliable data patterns within large datasets, particularly in judicial data, is challenging due to the unknown nature of these patterns, and existing methods lack effective mechanisms for detecting and notifying stakeholders about such issues.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method utilizing a processor and memory to receive judgment data, identify correction data, generate correction factors, and classify cases to produce a judgment score, employing machine learning and natural language processing to analyze court judgments and identify patterns of impropriety and wrongful convictions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual review of judgment data is used to identify problematic patterns, then accuracy of identifying wrongful convictions is improved, but time consumption and labor requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of identifying wrongful convictionsVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical review processes with an automated machine learning system that uses processors to analyze judgment data, identify correction factors, and generate judgment scores, thereby eliminating time-consuming manual labor while maintaining analytical accuracy

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service analysis by automatically processing judgment data, identifying patterns of impropriety, and generating actionable judgment scores without requiring continuous human intervention, allowing the system to serve itself in the data analysis process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If comprehensive analysis of large datasets is performed to identify all problematic patterns, then reliability of judgment score is improved, but computational complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of judgment scoreVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex analysis process into distinct operational steps: receiving judgment data, identifying correction factors, determining case groups based on correction factors, and generating judgment scores. This segmentation reduces computational complexity by breaking down the overall task into manageable phases

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality analysis by focusing computational resources on specific aspects of the data that show signs of impropriety, such as identifying and analyzing only those portions of judgment data that contain correction factors, rather than uniformly processing the entire dataset

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If existing data analysis methods are used to find problematic patterns, then ease of operation is maintained, but ability to detect unknown problematic patterns is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidability to detect unknown problematic patterns
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the system receives judgment data, analyzes it for problematic patterns, generates judgment scores, and can be fed back into the system for continuous improvement. This feedback loop enables the system to detect unknown problematic patterns by learning from previous analyses and updating its detection capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-identifying correction factors and establishing case groups before generating final judgment scores. This preliminary analysis prepares the data structure in advance, making the system more capable of detecting unknown problematic patterns while maintaining ease of operation through automated preprocessing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
