Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems require constant monitoring and proactive user intervention to avoid resource threshold events in user accounts, leading to unnecessary costs and computing energy waste due to frequent login and monitoring of account levels.

Innovation Solution

A computing system that processes transfer instructions in real-time, determines potential resource threshold events, and proactively reallocates resources from external systems to prevent such events, minimizing the need for user monitoring and reducing wasteful energy consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users constantly monitor account levels and make anticipatory requests for early resource access, then resource threshold events can be avoided, but time and energy costs increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveavoidance of resource threshold eventsVSAvoidtime spent on constant monitoring and anticipatory requests

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically monitors account resource levels and executes transfers from external accounts without requiring user intervention. The computing system performs self-service by detecting potential threshold events and autonomously initiating resource reallocation, eliminating the need for users to constantly monitor their accounts.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous monitoring of account resource levels with real-time feedback mechanisms. When resource levels approach threshold values, the system automatically triggers transfer instructions from external accounts, creating a closed-loop feedback system that prevents threshold events without user involvement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If users make anticipatory requests for early resource access, then resource threshold events can be prevented, but additional costs for early resource access are incurred

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprevention of resource threshold eventsVSAvoidcosts for early resource access

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary assessment of account resource levels against threshold criteria before executing transfers. By evaluating whether a transfer would result in a resource threshold event and checking current resource availability, the system only initiates transfers when necessary, avoiding unnecessary early resource access costs while still preventing threshold events.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts transfer execution based on real-time parameter evaluation of resource levels, transfer quantities, and threshold criteria. This conditional parameter-based approach ensures transfers are executed only when actually needed to prevent threshold events, optimizing cost efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If the system processes transfer instructions in real-time with proactive resource reallocation, then resource threshold events are prevented, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprevention of resource threshold eventsVSAvoidsystem complexity for real-time processing

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and separates the monitoring and transfer execution functions from user responsibilities, centralizing them in automated computing system components. This functional extraction simplifies the user interface while maintaining sophisticated real-time processing capabilities through dedicated automated modules.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Reliability

If users constantly monitor and manage account resources, then resource threshold events are avoided, but computing energy and bandwidth are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveavoidance of resource threshold eventsVSAvoidcomputing energy for user monitoring activities

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The computing system performs self-service monitoring of account resource levels, eliminating the need for users to log in and check their accounts. This automation shifts the computing energy burden from distributed user devices to centralized system infrastructure, reducing overall energy consumption associated with user monitoring activities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes receiving, from a remote system, a transfer instruction regarding a user account that, if implemented, would result in a resource threshold event in the user account. The system hosting the user account then sends a query message to an external resource system regarding a resource account associated with the user account and receives a response indicating the resource availability level of the resource account. If the resource availability level is sufficient to avoid the resource threshold event, then the system causes the external resource system to re-allocate a quantity of resource from the resource account to the user account and it authorizes and implements the transfer instruction. The external resource system may be a payroll system or an earned wages access system, in some cases, for obtaining early access to earned wages prior to payroll processing.
