Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems struggle to efficiently match users with qualified and available notaries for remote online notarization, particularly in determining document-specific and user-specific notary requirements, leading to burdensome processes and increased waiting times.

Innovation Solution

A system that utilizes machine learning models to classify documents, determine notary requirements, and dynamically connect users with qualified notaries, optimizing the matching process by considering document-level and user-level criteria, and adjusting priorities based on real-time availability and performance metrics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional in-person notary services are used, then users can receive notarization services, but the process becomes burdensome and time-consuming due to the need to manually search for qualified notaries and review regulations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of finding qualified notaryVSAvoidtime to search and schedule notary
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-service by allowing users to upload documents and receive automatic matching with qualified notaries based on document analysis, eliminating the need for manual searching and scheduling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical processes (physical document review, manual notary searching) with automated computer-based document classification algorithms and dynamic routing systems that automatically match users with qualified notaries

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If remote online notarization is implemented, then accessibility is improved, but systems struggle to efficiently determine document-specific notary requirements and match users with qualified notaries

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote notarization capabilityVSAvoidefficiency of notary matching
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes matching parameters by analyzing document-specific requirements extracted from uploaded documents and adjusting notary qualification criteria accordingly, enabling efficient remote matching based on actual document needs rather than static rules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary document classification and requirement determination before the notary matching process, pre-identifying qualified notaries based on extracted document characteristics to accelerate the matching efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If manual document review processes are used, then notary requirements can be determined, but the process is slow and increases waiting times

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of notary requirement determinationVSAvoiddocument processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual document review with automated document classification algorithms that use machine learning to extract requirements and determine notary qualifications, maintaining precision while dramatically reducing processing time

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous automated document analysis and real-time notary availability checking, eliminating idle time between document review and notary matching that occurs in manual processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

Disclosed embodiments include a method for dynamically providing notary sessions. The method can include receiving a document and one or more user-level notary requirements from a user device. Data entries can be extracted from the document and the document can be associated with a template. Document-level notary requirements can be determined based on the template and document. A first subset of active notary devices can be identified, and a first join request can be transmitted to the first subset. A first notary session between a first notary device and first user device can be initiated if the join request is accepted within a predetermined time threshold. If the join request is not accepted within a predetermined time threshold, the method can include identifying a second subset of active notary devices, transmitting a second join request, and initiating a second notary session between the first user device and second notary device.
