Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for assessing title risk in real estate transactions are time-consuming and inefficient, relying on manual searches of public records and lacking in predictive capabilities for title defects.

Innovation Solution

A machine learning model is trained using data from labeled real property parcels to predict the likelihood and scope of title defects, integrating data from both structured and unstructured sources, with weights assigned to each data type based on their relevance, allowing for real-time predictions and adjustments based on updated training data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Measurement precision

If conventional manual search methods are used for title risk assessment, then thorough examination of public records can be performed, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of title risk assessmentVSAvoidtime required for title risk assessment
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical search methods with an automated machine learning system that processes structured and unstructured data from multiple sources. The system uses trained models to predict title defects, substituting human analysts with automated computational processes that operate faster while maintaining or improving accuracy through systematic analysis of historical data patterns.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary risk assessment by analyzing data from multiple sources before a formal title search is initiated. The machine learning model generates initial predictions about potential title defects, allowing the system to identify high-risk properties that require detailed examination and low-risk properties that may proceed quickly, thereby optimizing the allocation of time and resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive data from multiple sources is integrated into the machine learning model, then prediction accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex data integration system into distinct modules: structured data processing components, unstructured data processing components, feature extraction modules, and model training components. Each module handles specific data types or processing tasks independently, making the overall system more manageable and maintainable while still achieving comprehensive data integration for improved prediction accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Speed

If real-time data processing is implemented for multiple data points, then prediction speed improves, but computational resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements partial processing by prioritizing the analysis of high-weight features and critical data points first. The machine learning model processes the most influential features to generate initial predictions quickly, then optionally processes additional data points if time and resources permit. This approach enables real-time or near-real-time assessments while managing computational resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
