Organization Estimation Module for Registration Duplication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Unintentional duplication of registrations for the same organization during service registration leads to administrative burdens for both the registrant and the service provider, requiring synchronization of data across multiple registrations.
Innovation Solution
Implementing an organization estimation module that automatically checks if a new registrant belongs to the same organization as prior registrants, notifying the individual and allowing them to decide whether to continue with the registration process, using email domain names, supplemental data, and postal codes to estimate organizational affiliation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If automatic organization estimation is implemented during registration, then duplicate registrations are reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The organization estimation module performs preliminary analysis during the registration process by examining email domains and comparing them against a database of known organizational domains. This preliminary action identifies potential duplicates before complete registration occurs, preventing the problem rather than addressing it afterward.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary organization estimation module that acts as a mediator between the registration system and the user. This module analyzes registration data, estimates organizational affiliation, and provides notifications without requiring complex post-registration synchronization or manual intervention.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple individuals register for the same organization, then service coverage increases, but administrative burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by notifying individuals during registration that their organization may already be registered. This feedback loop allows users to make informed decisions about whether to proceed with registration, preventing unnecessary duplicate registrations and the associated administrative burden of synchronization and data management.

AI summary
The registration of an individual for a service while providing protection against unintentional duplication of registration for the same organization. Upon receiving a request to register for a service from an individual over a network, it is automatically estimated as to whether the individual requesting registration belongs to the same organization as a prior registrant for the service. If so, the service notifies the individual requesting registration that they might belong to the same organization as a prior registrant. In one embodiment, it is then left to the individual as to whether they want to continue registering for the service.
