Solution Overview

Problem

Traders in the financial services industry face challenges in timely identifying market opportunities due to reactive price predictions based on historical data, often missing the chance to profit from unusual market activity before it becomes apparent.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for generating alert messages by parsing discrete data elements from various sources, assigning identifiers, and activating display interfaces on remote terminals based on activation lists, with alert messages triggered when viewership indicators exceed a threshold level, indicating increased interest in specific financial data elements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traders use reactive price predictions based on historical data, then they can make informed decisions, but they lose the opportunity to profit from unusual market activity before it becomes apparent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidtime to identify market opportunities
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring and analyzing market data in real-time before unusual activity becomes apparent. It establishes baseline patterns of normal market behavior and proactively detects deviations, enabling traders to act on opportunities immediately when they emerge rather than reacting after historical analysis confirms the pattern.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously comparing real-time market data against established patterns and thresholds. When unusual activity is detected, the system immediately generates alerts and notifications to remote terminals, providing real-time feedback to traders about emerging opportunities without the delay of traditional reactive analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If the system monitors real-time data from multiple sources and tracks user interest across multiple terminals, then it can identify unusual market activity timely, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of identifying market opportunitiesVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves multi-functionality by consolidating multiple monitoring, analysis, and notification functions into a single integrated platform. It simultaneously handles data collection from multiple sources, real-time pattern recognition, user interest tracking, and alert distribution across numerous terminals, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high productivity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs self-service mechanisms through automated pattern recognition and anomaly detection algorithms that continuously analyze market data without human intervention. The automated generation of alerts and notifications based on pre-established criteria eliminates the need for complex manual monitoring systems while maintaining high-speed opportunity identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If the system provides customized display interfaces to multiple remote terminals based on user-specific activation lists, then user convenience is improved, but the data processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interface customizationVSAvoiddata processing energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies segmentation by dividing the data processing load into user-specific segments based on individual activation lists and preferences. Each remote terminal receives only the customized subset of alerts and data relevant to that user, reducing redundant data processing and energy consumption while maintaining ease of operation through personalized interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Methods and systems for providing alerts to users of data aggregation systems. Alerts are generated when data usage patterns relating to data items of interest exceed a threshold level. Alerts can be provided in real-time or at intervals, via alerts or other notification methods. Alerts can be based on individual data items or correlations of data items, where the data items can be provided by local or external sources.
