Solution Overview

Problem

Generating and validating configuration files for complex software systems is time-consuming and error-prone, requiring manual intervention and repeated iterations, especially in modern environments where minor deviations can lead to system failures, security vulnerabilities, or degraded performance.

Innovation Solution

An AI-driven system that integrates a pre-trained AI model to generate configuration files based on queries, subjecting them to filtering processes that check for compliance with formatting standards and organizational policies, iteratively refining the files until they meet all constraints.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manual intervention and repeated iterations are used to validate configuration files, then accuracy and compliance with standards can be ensured, but time consumption and labor requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration file accuracyVSAvoidvalidation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service validation by automatically executing configuration files against predefined constraints and constraints databases without requiring manual intervention. The validation process is autonomous, where the system checks compliance, identifies issues, and generates corrected configurations automatically, eliminating the need for human reviewers to manually verify each configuration detail.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical validation processes with automated computational systems. Instead of human operators manually checking configuration files against standards, the system uses constraint satisfaction algorithms, automated executors, and AI models to perform validation, constraint checking, and error correction, substituting human cognitive labor with automated computational processes.

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

2Productivity

If configuration files are generated without automated validation, then generation speed is faster, but errors and non-compliance with standards increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration generation speedVSAvoidconfiguration compliance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where generated configuration files are immediately validated against constraints and standards. The validation results feed back into the generation process, allowing the system to identify and correct errors in real-time. This feedback mechanism ensures that only compliant configurations are deployed, maintaining high reliability while preserving fast generation speeds through automated iterative refinement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary validation actions by checking generated configurations against predefined constraints and constraints databases before deployment. The constraint satisfaction layer and automated executor prepare validation rules in advance, enabling rapid verification of configuration compliance without requiring ad-hoc checking during or after deployment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Manufacturing precision

If a comprehensive validation system with multiple constraints is implemented, then configuration accuracy and compliance improve, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration complianceVSAvoidvalidation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The validation system is segmented into modular components: constraint databases, constraint satisfaction layers, automated executors, and AI models. Each component handles specific validation tasks independently, making the overall complex validation process manageable through division. Constraints are organized in databases that can be selectively queried, and validation can be performed in staged manner across different constraint layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs a universal constraint satisfaction framework that can validate multiple types of configurations against various standards and constraints using the same core mechanisms. The AI models and automated executors serve multiple functions including validation, error detection, and generation, reducing the need for separate specialized tools for each validation task.

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

4Adaptability or versatility

If manual validation processes are used, then flexibility to handle edge cases can be maintained, but deployment time and efficiency decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehandling edge casesVSAvoiddeployment efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system adapts to edge cases by dynamically adjusting validation parameters and constraint priorities based on the specific configuration being validated. The AI models can modify validation strictness and constraint application based on context, allowing flexible handling of edge cases while maintaining automated processing. Parameter changes in validation depth and constraint selection enable the system to adapt without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An example operation may include one or more of executing an artificial intelligence (AI) model on a query via a software application to generate a formatted data structure, executing a filter on the formatted data structure and conditions of the formatted data structure to determine that the formatted data structure does not satisfy a condition from among the conditions, identifying a prompt that corresponds to the condition, executing the AI model on the formatted data structure and the prompt to generate a modified formatted data structure, executing the filter on the modified formatted data structure and the conditions associated with the formatted data structure to determine that the modified formatted data structure matches the conditions, and in response, deploying a software system via a host platform and executing the modified formatted data structure as part of the software system.
