Solution Overview

Problem

Existing online service platforms face inefficiencies in calculating and remitting resources for previous relationship instances between primary and secondary entities, leading to unrecognized omissions that burden computational resources and require extensive processing, storage, and data transmission.

Innovation Solution

The platform applies digital rules to identify and correct these omissions by generating a domain resource and determining alignment conditions, allowing for anonymous proposal transmissions to domains, thereby reducing the computational burden and preserving resources.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the OSP produces resources for previous relationship instances by applying digital rules to primary entity data, then the alignment condition can be determined and resources can be remitted to the domain, but the computing resources and processing time required increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment condition determinationVSAvoidcomputing resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating and storing alignment conditions and resource calculation rules before actual remittance is needed. The OSP maintains pre-computed alignment condition data and resource digital rules that can be quickly applied to previous relationship instances without requiring extensive real-time computation, thus reducing computing resource consumption while ensuring reliable alignment determination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If the OSP transmits proposal components to the domain on behalf of the primary entity, then the primary entity remains anonymous, but the domain cannot verify the identity of the primary entity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprimary entity anonymityVSAvoididentity verification
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The OSP acts as an intermediary that transmits proposal components to the domain on behalf of the primary entity without revealing the primary entity's identity. The OSP maintains a confidential relationship with the primary entity while serving as the communication channel to the domain, thus preserving anonymity while enabling reliable verification through the intermediary's controlled information transfer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a copy of the proposal components that can be transmitted without the original identity information. The OSP generates a sanitized version of the proposal that contains all necessary information for domain verification except the primary entity's identity, allowing the domain to verify alignment conditions while the primary entity remains anonymous.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Reliability

If the system goes back to produce and remit resources for previous relationship instances, then all omissions can be corrected, but the processing time and computational burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveomission correctionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary preparation by pre-computing alignment conditions and resource calculations for previous relationship instances before actual remittance is required. The OSP maintains a database of pre-processed alignment condition data and resource digital rules that enable quick retrieval and application to correct omissions, avoiding the need for time-consuming re-computation while ensuring all omissions can be accurately corrected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An online software platform (OSP) produces, by applying resource digital rules to previous relationship instance data of a primary entity data associated with one or more secondary entities of the domain, a domain resource regarding the domain. The OSP may then determine, by applying an alignment digital rule of the domain to the relationship instance data and the domain resource, whether or not an alignment condition of the domain is met, which indicates whether resources for relationship instances of the primary entity should have been remitted to the domain. If the alignment condition is not met, then the OSP may assemble proposal components, and communicate some of them to the domain on behalf of the primary entity to remit the resources, without initially communicating those proposal components that would reveal the identity of the primary entity.
