Solution Overview

Problem

Existing computer processes struggle with effectively processing unstructured data such as text, images, and videos, which are not easily analyzed and structured for efficient automation and decision-making.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that utilizes a machine learning model to assign proposal codes to unstructured data objects within a request for proposal (RFP), transforming them into structured formats using optical character recognition, natural language processing, and machine learning to identify and categorize implicit data objects, enabling efficient evaluation and matching.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If unstructured data is processed using traditional computer processes, then data processing capability is maintained at basic levels, but data analysis accuracy and automation efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analysis accuracyVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical data processing systems with machine learning models that can automatically identify, extract, and classify implicit data objects from unstructured text. The machine learning model learns patterns from training data and autonomously performs data structuring without requiring complex manual intervention or predefined rigid frameworks, thereby improving accuracy while managing complexity through intelligent automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms unstructured data into structured format by changing the data's organizational parameters. The machine learning model reorganizes raw text data into categorized implicit data objects with assigned proposal codes, converting the data from an unstructured state to a structured state that can be efficiently processed by algorithms, thus improving measurement precision through parameter reorganization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If machine learning models are used to assign proposal codes, then data structuring capability is improved, but computational resource requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata structuring efficiencyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary training of the machine learning model using training data before actual data processing. During training, the model learns to identify and classify implicit data objects, proposal codes, and their relationships. Once trained, the model can efficiently process new unstructured data without requiring the same computational resources, as the learning has already been performed in advance, thus improving productivity while managing resource consumption through pre-computation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
