Solution Overview

Problem

Financial market information systems typically provide limited, two-dimensional representations of market data, making it difficult for users to understand complex market dynamics and relationships between multiple financial instruments, and require multiple windows for viewing and trading, which increases operational burdens and risks of data delays.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for displaying financial market information in a single window with a multidimensional graphical representation, including real-time updates, allowing users to view and interact with data for multiple instruments, facilitating transactions and reducing the need for multiple windows and queries.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If multiple windows are used to display different financial instruments, then information completeness is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidnumber of windows
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple financial instrument displays into a single integrated window, merging previously separate windows showing different instruments into one unified view. This eliminates the need for users to switch between multiple windows while maintaining complete information display for all instruments simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The single window is designed to serve multiple functions by displaying information for multiple financial instruments concurrently. It acts as a universal display interface that can show data for any number of instruments without requiring separate dedicated windows for each instrument type.

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

2Loss of information

If multiple windows are used to view market information, then information completeness is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidoperational burden
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple instrument displays into one window, eliminating the operational burden of switching between windows. Users can view all financial instruments in a single location without the need to open, close, or navigate between multiple separate windows.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent organizes multiple financial instruments vertically within the single window, using the vertical dimension to accommodate additional instruments. This dimensional arrangement allows comprehensive information display without requiring horizontal expansion through multiple windows.

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

3Device complexity

If two-dimensional graphs are used to display market information, then simplicity is improved, but measurement precision and information completeness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay simplicityVSAvoidmarket dynamics understanding
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from two-dimensional to three-dimensional graphical representations to display market information. This additional dimension enables the visualization of complex market dynamics and relationships between multiple instruments while maintaining display clarity and comprehensibility.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the dimensional parameters of the graphical display from two to three dimensions, allowing for more comprehensive representation of market data. This parameter change enables the display to capture and visualize complex market relationships that cannot be effectively represented in two dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Adaptability or versatility

If separate trading applications are used, then functional separation is improved, but productivity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional separationVSAvoidtransaction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the market information display and trading execution functions into a single integrated application window. This eliminates the need for users to switch between separate viewing and trading applications, allowing them to execute transactions directly from the same interface where they view market data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The single application serves multiple functions by combining market information display, analysis, and transaction execution capabilities. It acts as a universal platform that handles both information viewing and trading operations without requiring separate specialized applications.

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