Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual risk assessment processes are used to handle unstructured data, then flexibility in processing complex data semantics is maintained, but accuracy rates decrease and productivity is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy rateVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer consisting of data normalization modules and vocabulary mapping systems that translate unstructured data from multiple sources into a standardized format. This intermediary processing layer enables automated systems to accurately interpret complex data semantics while maintaining high processing throughput, resolving the contradiction between accuracy and productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms unstructured data into structured parameters through standardized vocabularies and coding schemes. By changing the parameter representation from free-text to standardized codes, the system enables both high accuracy in risk assessment and efficient automated processing, simultaneously improving both accuracy rate and productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If automated rule-based engines are used to process risk information, then productivity increases, but the system cannot handle non-standard data vocabulary and complicated data semantics

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation levelVSAvoiddata compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal data normalization framework that can process multiple types of unstructured data from diverse sources using a single standardized vocabulary system. This multi-functional approach enables the automated engine to handle various data formats and semantics while maintaining high productivity, resolving the contradiction between automation level and data compatibility

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary data normalization and vocabulary standardization before the main risk assessment processing. By pre-processing unstructured data into standardized formats, the automated engine can efficiently process the normalized data without losing adaptability to handle non-standard vocabularies, thus achieving both high productivity and data compatibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If more unstructured data sources are integrated into the assessment process, then the comprehensiveness of risk assessment improves, but the difficulty of conversion to automated format increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment comprehensivenessVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex data integration process into modular components: data collection modules for different sources, normalization modules for each data type, and a central assessment engine. This segmentation allows the system to integrate multiple unstructured data sources comprehensively while managing processing complexity through modular architecture, resolving the contradiction between assessment comprehensiveness and data processing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The invention describes systems and methods of assessing risk using a computer. A computer-based system including an enrollment module, a data aggregation module, a risk assessment module, and a memory is provided for assessing risks. The enrollment receives, at a computer, personal information regarding at least one entity. The data aggregation module receives, at the computer, risk information regarding the entity according to the personal information from at least one data source. The risk assessment module converts the risk information to assessment information. The memory stores the personal information, the risk information, and/or the assessment information on the computer.
