Solution Overview

Problem

Technical analysis of market trends relies heavily on historical and real-time price data, but existing tools are limited in their ability to quickly identify and visualize stocks with high speed change and acceleration, and do not provide customizable filtering or automatic triggering of activities based on specific criteria.

Innovation Solution

A market motion system that analyzes and displays securities data by providing graphical representations of price speed, acceleration, accumulation, and distribution, allowing users to select views, filters, and output types, and enabling automatic alerts and trading activities based on predefined criteria.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If traditional price charts and historical data analysis are used, then market analysis can be performed, but the ability to quickly identify and visualize stocks with high speed change and acceleration is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of identifying high speed change stocksVSAvoidcomplexity of analysis tools
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the market analysis into multiple specialized views (price speed view, price acceleration view, accumulation view, distribution view) and uses speedometer-style graphical representations to display different aspects of market motion separately, enabling quick identification of high-speed change stocks without overwhelming complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces new visual dimensions by using speedometer-style graphical representations instead of traditional price charts. These circular gauges display speed and acceleration metrics in a compact, intuitive format that enables rapid visual identification of stocks with high rate of change without requiring complex multi-axis charts

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

2Loss of information

If comprehensive market data is displayed, then information availability is enhanced, but the ability to customize filtering and focus on specific criteria is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavailability of market informationVSAvoidease of customizing filters
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the comprehensive market data into separate, manageable views (price speed, price acceleration, accumulation, distribution) with independent filtering capabilities. Each view can be customized separately, allowing users to filter by specific criteria such as time frame, security type, or performance thresholds without losing access to other market information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides dynamic filtering and sorting capabilities that allow users to interactively adjust parameters in real-time. Users can dynamically modify filter criteria, time frames, and display preferences, and the system responds immediately by updating the visualizations and data tables, making customization easy and flexible

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If manual analysis of price data is performed, then detailed examination is possible, but automatic triggering of activities based on specific criteria is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of price analysisVSAvoidautomation of trading activities
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that automatically detect when predefined criteria are met (such as specific price speed thresholds, acceleration levels, or accumulation/distribution patterns) and trigger corresponding activities. This feedback loop enables automatic execution of trading activities, alerts, or notifications based on real-time market conditions, bridging the gap between precise manual analysis and automated response

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

To enhance information available to a user, such as a trader, an exemplary embodiment allows users to quickly and easily identify stocks with the highest speed change per unit time and acceleration, or rate of change of speed. More specifically, exemplary aspects at least allow users to visualize for one or more securities: the price speed, which is the percentage change per unit time; the price acceleration, which is the rate of change of price speed; the accumulation speed, which is the percentage change per time unit greater than zero; the accumulation acceleration, which is the rate of change of accumulation speed; the distribution speed, which is the percentage change per unit time less than zero; and the distribution acceleration, which is the rate of change of accumulation speed, all of which can be provided in, for example, a graphical format similar to a “speedometer.”
