Solution Overview

Problem

The traditional loan preapproval process is time-consuming and requires multiple oral and written communications between potential buyers and financial institutions, often necessitating repeated efforts before obtaining preapproval for purchasing property.

Innovation Solution

A loan preapproval system that generates a preapproval token as a data structure with a price range and size range, based on user and property information, and transmits it to online marketplaces to facilitate purchase offers and loan requests, streamlining the process and reducing communication complexity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If traditional loan preapproval process is used, then loan preapproval can be obtained, but the process is time-consuming and requires multiple communications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime for loan preapprovalVSAvoidcommunication complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a simplified digital copy (token) of the loan preapproval status that can be transmitted and verified without requiring repeated full authentication cycles. The token contains essential preapproval information that can be presented to multiple lenders, eliminating the need for buyers to repeat their financial documentation and communications with each lender.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary credit evaluation and preapproval status determination before the actual loan application process. By establishing preapproval status in advance and encoding it in a token, the system prepares the borrower's financial credentials beforehand, so that when presenting to lenders, the time-consuming verification steps have already been completed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If multiple communications are required for preapproval, then loan preapproval can be obtained, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepreapproval verificationVSAvoidease of obtaining preapproval
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a token as an intermediary carrier that holds and transmits preapproval information between the borrower, lenders, and verification systems. This token serves as a standardized medium that simplifies the interaction between multiple parties, allowing verification without direct repeated communications between all participants.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables borrowers to generate and present their own preapproval tokens without requiring manual verification requests to each lender. The token contains self-verifying information that allows lenders to independently validate preapproval status without requiring the borrower to initiate multiple communication cycles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional preapproval process is repeated multiple times, then preapproval can be obtained for different properties, but the loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplicability to multiple propertiesVSAvoidtime for repeated preapproval
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal preapproval token that can be used across multiple property transactions and with multiple lenders. The token contains borrower credentials and preapproval status that are not property-specific, allowing the same token to be presented for different properties without requiring separate preapproval processes for each property.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
