Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data management systems face challenges in efficiently managing complex data transformations and workflows through natural language commands, requiring significant expertise and time to set up and operate processes.

Innovation Solution

Utilizing generative AI, specifically a large language model (LLM), to create and manage data structures and workflows by receiving partial text input, generating prompts, and executing commands based on user input examples, thereby reducing the need for specialized knowledge and streamlining the process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If complex data management functionality is implemented using traditional workflows, then data transformation and management capabilities are achieved, but the system requires significant expertise and time to set up and operate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidcomplexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical workflow configurations with a generative AI system that automatically creates and manages data management workflows. Users interact through natural language prompts instead of manual workflow configuration, and the AI system handles the complex data transformation logic automatically, substituting mechanical setup processes with intelligent automation.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The generative AI system enables self-service operation by automatically generating, executing, and managing data management workflows based on user prompts. The system handles complex data transformation tasks autonomously without requiring specialized expertise, allowing users to perform data management operations independently through simple natural language interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If traditional workflows are used for data management, then data transformation functionality is achieved, but significant time is required to set up and operate processes

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveproductivityVSAvoidtime
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-configuring and pre-testing data management workflows before they are executed. The generative AI model prepares transformation logic, validates data schemas, and establishes execution parameters in advance, so that when users submit prompts, the workflows are ready for immediate execution without time-consuming setup procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces time-consuming manual workflow setup with AI-generated automation. Instead of requiring users to manually configure data transformation steps, the system uses generative AI to automatically create, validate, and execute workflows, dramatically reducing the time required to set up and operate data management processes.

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

3Reliability

If specialized expertise is required for data management operations, then accurate data transformation is achieved, but the barrier to entry and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The generative AI system serves as an intermediary between users and complex data management operations. It translates simple natural language prompts into accurate, reliable data transformation workflows, handling the technical complexity internally while presenting a user-friendly interface. This intermediary layer maintains transformation accuracy without requiring users to understand the underlying complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service operation by automatically generating accurate data transformation workflows based on user prompts. The generative AI model ensures reliability by validating data schemas, checking transformation logic, and executing workflows autonomously, eliminating the need for specialized expertise while maintaining accurate and reliable data management operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
