Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Identifying new technologies that can enhance a business is challenging due to the vast amount of information available and decentralized data, making it difficult to discern trends in specific technology sectors.
Innovation Solution
A system for technology classification and opportunity mapping that aggregates data on new technologies, companies offering them, and technology sectors, using a database with tags and a correlation engine to evaluate and group technologies based on user-defined parameters, generating an interactive technology opportunity map for display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If data about new technologies is aggregated from decentralized sources, then the quantity of available technology information increases, but the difficulty of obtaining and processing this information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments technology information into standardized components including technology parameters, tags, and metadata fields. Each technology offering is broken down into discrete data elements that can be independently processed, correlated, and displayed, making the large volume of decentralized information manageable through structured segmentation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing system that acts as a mediator between decentralized technology data sources and users. This intermediary system standardizes, correlates, and organizes information from multiple sources using consistent data structures and processing algorithms, reducing the complexity users would otherwise face when accessing raw decentralized information
2Loss of information
If technology information is presented in detailed written format, then the completeness of information is improved, but the time required to review and assess technologies increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system transforms technology information from a one-dimensional written format into a multi-dimensional interactive map interface. Technologies are positioned spatially based on multiple parameters simultaneously, allowing users to assess comprehensive technology information through visual spatial relationships rather than sequential reading, significantly reducing review time while maintaining information completeness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs visual encoding through color and graphical attributes to represent different technology parameters and characteristics. This visual dimension allows users to quickly perceive and compare multiple technology offerings simultaneously, reducing the time required to assess comprehensive information that would otherwise require detailed written analysis
3Measurement precision
If technology data is organized by multiple classification tags, then the precision of technology matching is improved, but the complexity of data organization increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary organization and correlation of technology data with multiple classification tags before user interaction. Technologies are pre-tagged with multiple classification parameters and pre-positioned in the interactive map based on their tag profiles, so that when users query the system, precise matching occurs immediately without requiring complex real-time organization operations
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure provides for a system for evaluating technology offerings of one or more companies. A database includes a plurality of available technologies associated with one or more tags categorizing the available technology. A user interface receives user input specifying one or more technology parameters. A correlation engine returns one or more available technologies from the database based on a correlation between the one or more received technology parameters and the one or more tags associated with the one or more available technologies. A landscape engine groups the one or more available technologies based on tags and generates an interactive technology opportunity map for display on the user interface.
