Solution Overview

Problem

Analysts face inefficiencies in monitoring and analyzing vast amounts of communication data between a person of interest (POI) and their correspondents, often missing important leads due to the complexity of data and inability to connect relevant communications across multiple mediums.

Innovation Solution

A system that consolidates and organizes communication and transaction data across various mediums into a structured folder, generating link charts for visual representation, allowing on-demand retrieval of details, and automatically creating communication links between POI and correspondents, enabling efficient data analysis and visualization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If analysts manually review vast amounts of communication data across multiple mediums, then they can identify important leads, but the process consumes excessive time and resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelead identification accuracyVSAvoidinvestigation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments communication data from multiple mediums (email, social media, messaging platforms) into organized categories and presents them in structured folders. This segmentation allows analysts to efficiently navigate and review relevant communications without being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data across different platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically performs preliminary actions by collecting, organizing, and filtering communication data before the analyst reviews it. The automated organization of communications into structured folders and the pre-establishment of communication links between POI and correspondents reduce the time analysts need to spend on manual data gathering and initial analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If analysts review all available communication data, then they can ensure comprehensive coverage, but the complexity of data across multiple mediums makes it difficult to make connections

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication tracking completenessVSAvoiddata organization complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges communication data from multiple mediums into a unified view by creating structured folders that consolidate communications between the POI and each correspondent across email, social media, and messaging platforms. This merging maintains comprehensive coverage while reducing complexity through unified organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary layer (structured folders and communication links) between the raw communication data and the analyst. This intermediary automatically organizes data and establishes connections between POI and correspondents, making it easier to review comprehensive communications without being overwhelmed by the complexity of raw multi-medium data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If the system provides detailed raw data for every communication, then analysts have complete information, but the volume of information becomes overwhelming and difficult to analyze

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication detail completenessVSAvoiddata analysis ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments communication information into structured folders organized by correspondent, with each folder containing relevant communications from multiple mediums. This segmentation presents complete communication details in an organized, manageable format that is easier for analysts to review and analyze.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms the presentation of communication data by adding an organizational dimension through structured folders and communication links. Instead of presenting raw data in a flat, overwhelming format, the system organizes information hierarchically, allowing analysts to access complete communication details while navigating through an easier-to-manage structured interface.

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

AI summary

Systems and methods of consolidation and visualization of a set of communication and transaction data associated with a person of interest (POI) and a set of correspondents of the POI are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method may include consolidating the set of communication and transaction data associated with communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI across a plurality of mediums of communication in an organized reconstruction folder. The method may also include a graphical representation of the communication between the POI and the correspondent of the POI A when the organized reconstruction folder has been created. The method also includes embedding the organized reconstruction folder under the communication link such that the organized reconstruction folder is immediately viewable when an analyst selects the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI A.
