Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies face challenges in efficiently analyzing and organizing documents related to property rights, particularly in determining current ownership status and interests, due to issues such as poor legibility, non-standard terms, and unclear dating, which can lead to incorrect or slow production of documents essential for resource exploration and extraction.

Innovation Solution

A system and method utilizing machine learning models and natural language processing to analyze electronic documents, generate data objects representing property rights, and create a navigable interface to display the chain of title and current property rights, thereby facilitating the determination of ownership interests and title status.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual review and analysis of title documents is performed by large teams, then accuracy in determining ownership status can be maintained, but time consumption and resource requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy in determining ownership statusVSAvoidtime consumption for document review
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of manual document review by human teams with an automated optical character recognition (OCR) system combined with natural language processing algorithms. The system scans, converts, and analyzes title documents automatically, extracting property right information without human intervention while maintaining accuracy through trained machine learning models.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing the documents themselves to provide the necessary information through automated processing. The OCR system extracts text from documents, and the natural language processing automatically identifies and structures property right data, eliminating the need for human analysts to manually interpret each document.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If automated processing of title documents is implemented, then processing speed and efficiency improve, but accuracy and reliability of ownership determination may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speed of documentsVSAvoidaccuracy of ownership determination
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical review with automated OCR and natural language processing systems that can process multiple documents simultaneously at high speed while maintaining consistent accuracy through algorithmic analysis and pattern recognition trained on legal document structures.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-training machine learning models on extensive datasets of title documents and property right information before actual processing. This preliminary training enables the automated system to accurately identify and extract relevant information during high-speed processing without sacrificing reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If comprehensive review of all title documents is conducted to ensure correct property rights convergence, then reliability of ownership status is improved, but resource requirements and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrectness of property rights convergenceVSAvoidcomplexity of document analysis system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential property right information from comprehensive title documents using targeted natural language processing. Instead of analyzing every detail of each document, the system identifies and extracts specific data elements such as property identifiers, ownership interests, and conveyance details, reducing system complexity while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by transforming unstructured document text into structured data objects with standardized fields. This parameter transformation enables reliable property rights convergence determination through automated comparison and validation of extracted information against legal requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Device complexity

If traditional manual methods are used to sort and analyze title documents, then system simplicity is maintained, but productivity and processing efficiency decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of processing systemVSAvoidefficiency of document analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces simple manual sorting and analysis methods with automated OCR and natural language processing systems that can handle large volumes of documents efficiently. The automation handles the complex tasks of document scanning, text extraction, and information structuring, while presenting results in an organized manner that maintains operational simplicity.

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

AI summary

A method and system can include processing title and title opinion document images to generate text information. Trained models may generate data objects representative of period of time during which certain rights to a property exist. The trained models may also generate rules for modifying the data objects and interrelating the data objects to each other. In some examples, a confidence level can be generated and will reflect a likelihood of a data object including correct information. The modified and interrelated data objects may be used to generate a navigable interface which includes a current title status for a property and a navigable chain of title reflecting historical rights to the property.
