Solution Overview

Problem

Service providers face inefficiencies in notifying users due to conflicting and outdated information about physical addresses and their occupants, leading to wastage of network and computing resources by sending notifications to entities that do not have access to the associated infrastructure.

Innovation Solution

A service notification platform aggregates and standardizes address-occupant pairs, discards duplicates, and selects the most accurate occupant associations using weighted scoring and machine learning techniques to refine the data, ensuring notifications are only sent to those with access to the relevant infrastructure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If service providers send notifications to all entities at physical addresses using general notification strategies, then coverage of potential users is improved, but network and computing resources are wasted by notifying entities without access to infrastructure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenotification efficiencyVSAvoidnetwork and computing resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by aggregating and standardizing address-occupant data before sending notifications. It pre-processes the data to identify which occupants have access to the required infrastructure, so that notification resources are not wasted on ineligible entities. This advance preparation resolves the contradiction by ensuring efficient resource use while maintaining comprehensive coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by using automatically updated address-occupant data from multiple sources to determine notification eligibility. Rather than requiring manual verification of each recipient's infrastructure access, the system autonomously identifies suitable recipients based on standardized data, improving efficiency without wasting resources on inappropriate targets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Quantity of substance

If service providers use multiple source devices for address information, then data completeness is improved, but data accuracy deteriorates due to conflicting and outdated information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaddress-occupant data completenessVSAvoidaddress-occupant data accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and standardizes address-occupant data from multiple source devices, separating the valuable information from the noise of conflicting data. By applying standardization rules and weighting mechanisms, it extracts the most accurate occupancy information while discarding duplicates and inconsistencies, thus maintaining data completeness while improving accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of the collected data by applying standardization transformations and weighting factors. It converts raw address-occupant data from multiple sources into a standardized format with confidence scores, transforming incomplete and conflicting information into reliable, actionable data that resolves the accuracy-completeness contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If service providers send notifications to all occupants at a physical address, then user coverage is improved, but notification relevance deteriorates when occupants lack infrastructure access

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice delivery efficiencyVSAvoidnotification relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary filtering of the address-occupant data to identify which occupants have access to the required infrastructure before sending notifications. This advance identification ensures that notifications are only sent to relevant recipients, maintaining high user coverage among eligible individuals while eliminating irrelevant notifications that would waste resources and reduce overall efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A platform may receive a first set of address-occupant pairs from a plurality of source devices, wherein the first set of address-occupant pairs comprises identifications of physical addresses and identifications of occupants. The platform may detect an identification of a physical address that is associated with identifications of a plurality of the occupants. The platform may select, for the physical address, one of the identifications of the plurality of occupants to maintain association with the identification of the physical address. The platform may aggregate infrastructure information with the second set of address-occupant pairs, wherein the infrastructure information indicates one or more services available to be provided at one or more of the physical addresses. The platform may perform one or more actions based on identifying the one or more services available to be provided at one or more of the physical addresses.
