Solution Overview

Problem

Manual tracking of issue data is error-prone and inefficient, leading to duplicative entries and inconsistent reporting, especially when dealing with structured and unstructured data from various sources, which are not easily usable by computing systems.

Innovation Solution

A new issue management system that processes input data using data models to generate and validate data entries, automatically populates dynamic forms, and transmits alerts to stakeholders, while utilizing blockchain technology and AI for data integrity and analytics, enabling remote access and automated data validation across different lines of business.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual tracking of issue data is used, then flexibility in data collection is maintained, but error rate increases and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoiddata accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-service data collection where the issue management system automatically retrieves, validates, and processes data from multiple sources without manual intervention, eliminating human error while maintaining operational flexibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual mechanical data tracking processes are replaced with automated electronic data processing systems that use algorithms and machine learning to collect, validate, and manage issue data, significantly improving both efficiency and accuracy

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

2Quantity of substance

If data is collected from multiple sources in different formats, then data comprehensiveness improves, but data consistency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoiddata consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts data parameters and formats during the collection process, automatically transforming data from various sources into a standardized structure while preserving the completeness and integrity of the original information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

An intermediary data normalization layer is introduced between data collection and processing, which standardizes data from multiple sources into a consistent format while maintaining the ability to retrieve original data characteristics when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Speed

If automated data processing is implemented, then processing speed increases, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The automated data processing system is segmented into modular functional components (data collection module, validation module, processing module, etc.), allowing high-speed processing while managing complexity through clear separation of concerns and independent deployment of each module

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
