Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge lies in valuing and facilitating transactions of intangible assets like technology and patents, which lack a reliable pricing mechanism and effective market channels, limiting their trade due to the difficulty in assessing their value and the absence of specialized expertise and efficient information dissemination.

Innovation Solution

A technology valuation and transaction system that utilizes a network unit and terminal devices to store and match technology data, including expert and demand databases, enabling remote online valuation and transaction through a web server interface with modules for safety control, data input, valuation, matching, and transaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If technology valuation and transaction processes are conducted through traditional offline methods with specialists, then valuation accuracy may be improved, but transaction efficiency and accessibility deteriorate due to difficulty in finding experts and limited market reach

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetechnology valuation accuracyVSAvoidtransaction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an online platform as an intermediary that connects technology suppliers, demanders, and valuation experts. The platform mediates the valuation process by providing a structured online interface where experts can be accessed remotely, eliminating the need for physical meetings while maintaining valuation quality through expert involvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The online platform serves multiple functions: it acts as a marketplace for technology transactions, a database for storing technology information, a matching system connecting suppliers with demanders, and a valuation platform. This multi-functionality improves transaction efficiency by consolidating multiple processes into a single accessible system.

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

2Loss of information

If comprehensive technology data and expert information are stored in centralized databases, then information accessibility and matching efficiency are improved, but system complexity and data management requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides information into distinct databases: technology information database storing technology data, expert information database storing expert profiles, and transaction database. This segmentation allows for organized data management while improving accessibility through targeted queries in each specialized database.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The platform enables users to independently input technology information, search for technologies, and access expert databases without requiring complex manual data management. The system automatically processes information input and maintains databases, reducing the perceived complexity for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If online platforms are implemented for technology transactions, then market reach and transaction speed are improved, but reliability and security of transactions may deteriorate without established trust mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction speedVSAvoidtransaction security
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The platform incorporates feedback mechanisms where transaction history, expert valuation records, and user ratings are stored and made accessible. This feedback loop builds trust by allowing participants to evaluate the reliability of counterparties and experts based on past performance and documented interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-verifying expert credentials, pre-storing technology information with detailed specifications, and pre-establishing matching criteria before actual transactions occur. This preliminary preparation reduces risks by ensuring all necessary information is validated and available before transactions begin.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
