Solution Overview

Problem

Determining the optimal buying and selling timing for investment products is challenging, and assessing the effectiveness of investment transactions is difficult.

Innovation Solution

An information providing server and data processing apparatus that display referenced customer buy/sell pattern time-series data alongside investment product price charts, allowing users to analyze buying and selling patterns and their impact on investment product prices, with the ability to identify causal factors for these patterns.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If traditional investment transaction analysis methods are used, then transaction data can be retrieved, but it is difficult to determine optimal buying and selling timing and assess transaction effectiveness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction effectiveness informationVSAvoidanalysis system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple types of information including price charts, buy/sell pattern time-series data, and causal factor analysis into a single integrated display interface. This merging allows users to simultaneously view pricing trends, customer transaction patterns, and identified causal factors without needing multiple separate analysis tools, thereby reducing the complexity barrier while providing comprehensive transaction effectiveness information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary analysis layer that processes raw transaction data and price information to generate intermediate representations such as buy/sell pattern time-series data and causal factor identifications. This intermediary processing transforms complex raw data into actionable insights, making the analysis more accessible while maintaining comprehensive information about transaction effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If detailed transaction analysis is provided, then transaction effectiveness can be assessed, but the complexity of the analysis system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction effectiveness measurementVSAvoidanalysis system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the transaction effectiveness analysis into distinct components: price chart visualization, buy/sell pattern time-series data, and causal factor identification. By dividing the complex analysis into separate modular components, each handling a specific aspect of effectiveness measurement, the system achieves precise measurement while maintaining manageable complexity through clear functional separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms raw transaction data into standardized time-series parameters and pattern representations. By converting complex transaction records into standardized temporal patterns and causal factor parameters, the system achieves precise measurement of transaction effectiveness while simplifying the data representation structure, thereby reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
