Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data simulation and visualization systems fail to provide an adequate visual analysis tool for comprehensively understanding insurance loss data, making it difficult for individuals and businesses to determine appropriate insurance coverage levels and manage risks effectively.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that simulates and visualizes loss effects on entities using animated graphical objects, presenting loss data as a function of confidence levels rather than time, allowing users to intuitively understand probabilistic coverage, loss frequency, and cost, and enabling visualization of insurance coverage depletion and entity sustained costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If traditional data simulation and visualization systems are used, then comprehensive visual analysis of loss data can be achieved, but the system complexity and difficulty of understanding increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive visual analysis capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the loss data visualization into discrete confidence interval levels (e.g., 90%, 95%, 99%), where each segment represents a specific probability threshold. This segmentation allows users to navigate complex loss data through manageable, standardized visual layers rather than facing a monolithic complex system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the traditional time-based loss visualization into a confidence interval-based dimension. Instead of showing losses over time on a single axis, the system creates multiple visual dimensions representing different confidence levels, enabling comprehensive analysis while organizing complexity into structured spatial relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If loss data is presented in traditional formats, then comprehensive information is available, but ease of understanding and operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidease of understanding
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs color-coded visual elements to represent different confidence intervals and loss categories. By assigning distinct colors to different confidence levels (e.g., lighter shades for lower confidence, darker shades for higher confidence), the system maintains information completeness while enabling rapid intuitive understanding through color perception rather than requiring detailed numerical analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates simplified visual copies or representations of loss data that preserve essential information characteristics but present them in an accessible format. These visual copies translate complex probabilistic loss scenarios into intuitive graphical models that maintain information fidelity while dramatically improving ease of understanding for untrained users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If detailed loss data analysis is provided, then accuracy and precision improve, but the time required for analysis increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloss data analysis precisionVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary organization of loss data into confidence interval categories before presentation to the user. By pre-sorting and pre-visualizing data according to probability thresholds, the system enables users to access precise analysis results immediately without requiring time-consuming sorting or filtering operations during actual analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic visualizations that can adapt to user interactions, allowing users to drill down into specific confidence intervals or loss types as needed. The system dynamically adjusts the level of detail and data granularity based on user requests, providing precise analysis only when and where needed rather than presenting all detailed data simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
