Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional record production and update processes are used, then record maintenance is straightforward, but accuracy of structure records deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of structure recordsVSAvoidcomplexity of record processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple independent systems (property record system, parcel georeferenced record system, building georeferenced record system, and record analysis system) into an integrated automated framework. These systems merge their data through standardized interfaces and shared databases, enabling cross-validation of structure records against multiple data sources simultaneously, which improves accuracy while distributing system complexity across modular components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The record analysis system continuously monitors and analyzes structure records, comparing them against georeferenced data from parcel and building systems. When discrepancies or inaccuracies are detected, the system generates feedback loops that trigger automated corrections or flag records for review, ensuring ongoing accuracy without requiring manual intervention at each stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If manual record updating processes are used, then system operation is simple, but productivity of record updates deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of record updatesVSAvoidoperational simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-updating of structure records through the integration of multiple data sources. The record analysis system automatically detects changes in structure locations and sizes by comparing georeferenced parcel data with building record data, and triggers updates without requiring manual data entry or processing, thereby dramatically increasing update speed while reducing operational complexity through automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary data validation and correlation checks before finalizing record updates. By pre-processing and cross-referencing data from multiple systems before the actual update occurs, the system ensures accuracy and consistency are maintained while accelerating the overall update process through automated preparation steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive data analysis is performed, then accuracy of structure records is improved, but loss of time in processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of structure recordsVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous data analysis through automated monitoring and background processing routines. Rather than performing comprehensive analysis only during periodic manual reviews, the record analysis system continuously compares data from parcel and building systems, detecting and correcting inaccuracies in real-time or near-real-time, thereby maintaining high accuracy without significant time loss to batch processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs periodic validation cycles where structure records are systematically reviewed and cross-checked against georeferenced data at scheduled intervals. This periodic action ensures comprehensive accuracy checking while managing processing time through efficient scheduling, preventing data degradation between cycles without requiring constant full-system analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

A system that operates responsive to data bearing records is operative to extract selected data from records related to structures that are included in a property record system (PRS) (12). The extracted record data is used to resolve outline data for corresponding structures and associated parcel and other data through operation of record analysis system (RAS) circuitry (38). The RAS circuitry is operative to acquire georeferenced data records regarding parcels and structures from at least one georeferenced record system (GRS) (26, 32). The RAS circuitry is operative to determine conditions where GRS record data indicates the presence of structures that are absent from PRS records, as well as structures that have various levels of correspondence with the sketch data in data bearing records included in the PRS records. The exemplary RAS circuitry is also operative to produce georeferenced data including visual outputs including visible indicia that shows the structures that are present on parcels and the degrees of discrepancy with data regarding structures in the PRS data.
