Solution Overview

Problem

Existing solutions fail to provide a mechanism for effectively hedging against real estate price fluctuations and associated penalties due to buyer's remorse, particularly in cases of housing subscriptions or newly constructed properties, and do not offer a fixed-amount purchase agreement product to mitigate such risks.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for providing a real estate risk hedge agreement service that allows users to execute an electronic contract for a risk hedge agreement product, which can be extinguished or result in a sale at a predetermined fixed price based on user action, thereby managing real estate price risks and penalties.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If real estate is used as an inflation hedge and investment target, then asset value protection is improved, but price volatility risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveasset value protectionVSAvoidprice volatility risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by establishing a risk hedge agreement before real estate price fluctuations occur. The agreement pre-determines a guaranteed purchase price and conditions under which the seller can sell to the buyer, thereby preemptively protecting against future price volatility risks while maintaining investment value

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a risk hedge agreement as an intermediary mechanism between the real estate seller and potential buyers. This agreement acts as a mediator that guarantees a minimum purchase price and provides structured sale conditions, thereby reducing direct exposure to price volatility while preserving asset value

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If a risk hedge agreement product is introduced to mitigate price fluctuation risks, then price risk management is improved, but contract complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprice risk managementVSAvoidcontract complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the risk hedge agreement into distinct, manageable components: (1) guaranteed purchase price terms, (2) sale conditions and triggers, (3) exercise periods and options, and (4) penalty fee structures. This segmentation makes the complex contract more transparent and easier to understand while maintaining comprehensive risk management coverage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Stability of the object's composition

If fixed purchase price agreement is provided to avoid price fluctuation risks, then price stability is improved, but flexibility in responding to market changes decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprice stabilityVSAvoidmarket response flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the fixed purchase price agreement conditional and time-bound rather than absolute. The agreement includes specified exercise periods, sale conditions that must be met, and options for the seller to exercise or not exercise the sale right. This dynamic structure maintains price stability through the guaranteed price while allowing flexibility to respond to market changes through conditional provisions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
