Solution Overview

Problem

Manual review of risk and resource allocation requests across multiple systems and entities is complex, time-consuming, and prone to errors, especially when dealing with numerous inter-related systems and factors.

Innovation Solution

An automated risk relationship resource allocation tool that uses a back-end application server to retrieve electronic records from a resource allocation data store, determining initial durations based on entity, service provider, and third-party guidelines, and generating recommendations for extension requests, while facilitating communication through an interactive graphical user interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual review of resource allocation requests is performed, then understanding and reaction to requests can be facilitated, but the process becomes complicated, time-consuming, and error-prone when dealing with substantial numbers of inter-related systems and entities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanual review processVSAvoidreview time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-service for resource allocation decisions by using machine learning models to automatically determine initial durations and generate extension recommendations based on entity expectations, service provider expectations, and third-party guidelines, eliminating the need for manual review of each request

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual review process with an automated computerized system that uses machine learning algorithms and data processing to analyze resource allocation requests, determine durations, and generate recommendations, substituting human manual operations with automated computational processes

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

2Measurement precision

If manual review of resource allocation requests is performed, then understanding of risks and allocations can be achieved, but accuracy and consistency are compromised due to the complexity and volume of information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex analysis task into distinct components: retrieving entity expectations, service provider expectations, and third-party guidelines as separate data elements, then processing each through the machine learning model to determine initial duration and generate recommendations, making the complex process manageable and consistent

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the complex qualitative analysis of resource allocation requests into quantifiable parameters by using machine learning models to process multiple input factors (entity expectations, service provider expectations, guidelines) and output specific duration values and recommendations, enabling precise and consistent measurements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If automated determination of initial duration is performed based on multiple expectations and guidelines, then faster and more consistent results are provided, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidautomation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The machine learning model serves multiple functions within a single system: it retrieves and processes entity expectations, service provider expectations, and third-party guidelines, determines initial durations, generates extension recommendations, and handles various resource allocation scenarios, consolidating multiple functions into one automated system

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

AI summary

Some embodiments are associated with a system that provides an automated risk relationship resource allocation tool via a back-end application computer server of an enterprise. A resource allocation data store may contain electronic records representing requested resource allocations between the enterprise and a plurality of entities (collected from the entities and service providers). The server may then receive an indication of a selected requested resource allocation and retrieve, from the resource allocation data store, the electronic record associated with the selected requested resource allocation. The server may then automatically determine an initial duration for the selected requested resource allocation based on the shortest of: (i) an entity expected duration, (ii) a service provider expected duration, and (iii) a third-party guideline expected duration. Some embodiments may generate a final recommendation associated with an extension request for a requested resource allocation from an entity depending on whether service provider records are needed.
