Solution Overview

Problem

Existing text verification mechanisms are inadequate due to language localization requirements, scalability issues, and instability caused by ambiguity in identifying elements of interest, leading to costly and inefficient verification processes.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of language-neutral text verification using dynamically generated regular expression patterns from resource strings, which allows for pattern matching to verify and extract information from text across different languages without requiring changes to the verification code, thereby addressing scalability and ambiguity challenges.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If verification code is customized for each language, then verification accuracy is improved, but development cost and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification accuracyVSAvoidverification code complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal verification code structure that works across multiple languages by using regular expressions to match language-specific patterns. Instead of writing separate verification code for each language, a single universal code base with language-agnostic regular expression patterns handles verification for localized text, achieving multi-functionality without increasing complexity

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces regular expressions as an intermediary layer between the verification code and localized text. This intermediary handles the language-specific variations through pattern matching, allowing the core verification logic to remain language-neutral while still accurately verifying localized content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If verification code is customized for each language, then verification accuracy is improved, but scalability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification accuracyVSAvoidscalability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The verification system is designed to be universal and language-agnostic, using regular expressions to handle multiple languages through a single code base. This enables easy scalability to new languages without requiring code customization, as the system can accommodate any language that follows similar text patterns

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs dynamic regular expression patterns that can adapt to different language structures. The verification code dynamically selects and applies appropriate patterns based on the detected language, enabling scalable support for multiple languages without static code customization for each language

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If verification code uses fixed text matching, then simplicity is improved, but stability deteriorates due to ambiguity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification code simplicityVSAvoidverification stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces rigid fixed text matching with flexible regular expression pattern matching. This substitution maintains relative simplicity while dramatically improving stability by handling ambiguous text variations through pattern-based matching rather than exact string comparison

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

4Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic regular expression patterns are used, then adaptability is improved, but implementation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage neutralityVSAvoidimplementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses regular expressions as an intermediary that bridges the gap between simple verification needs and complex language variations. While regular expressions add some implementation complexity, they provide a standardized, well-documented approach that is manageable and maintainable, enabling language-neutral verification without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
