Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mechanisms for generating trade ideas and term sheets in the financial industry are often manual, inflexible, and tailored to specific banks' needs, resulting in rigid and partially functional outputs that struggle to adapt to diverse financial instruments and complex trades.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for automatically generating customized trade articles, including trade ideas and term sheets, using a trade-article generator application that receives trade information and selects content elements based on predefined layouts and attributes, allowing for dynamic customization and formatting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional manual mechanisms are used to generate trade ideas and term sheets, then the output can be tailored to specific bank needs, but the process is time-consuming and produces rigid outputs that are hard to customize

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization capabilityVSAvoidgeneration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-defines multiple content elements, sections, and templates for trade articles before they are needed. When a trade article is required, the system automatically selects from pre-prepared content elements and assembles them according to predefined templates, eliminating the need for manual creation from scratch and significantly reducing generation time while maintaining customization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system allows dynamic modification of article parameters such as content selection, layout configuration, and formatting options. Users can change parameters like selecting different content elements, adjusting section arrangements, and modifying stylistic parameters to customize articles for different banks and trades without restarting the entire generation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional mechanisms are used, then the process is simple to operate, but the outputs are rigid and partially functional with limited coverage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctionality coverageVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The trade article generation system is divided into modular components: multiple content elements (text, diagrams, images), various sections (trade description, pricing, terms), and different templates. Each component can be independently selected, configured, and combined to create articles with comprehensive functionality covering diverse financial instruments and trade types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system is designed to handle multiple types of financial instruments and trade structures through a universal framework. The same platform can generate articles for derivatives, cash instruments, structured products, and various trade types by selecting appropriate content elements and templates, providing comprehensive functionality without requiring separate specialized systems.

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

3Productivity

If manual mechanisms are used to generate trade articles, then the process is easy to implement, but productivity is low and profitability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearticle generation efficiencyVSAvoidautomation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-service trade article generation where the computer system automatically selects content elements, assembles sections, and formats articles based on input trade parameters. This eliminates the need for manual drafting and significantly increases productivity, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring continuous human intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of manually drafting, formatting, and assembling trade articles is replaced with an automated computer-based system. The mechanical actions of typing, copying, pasting, and formatting are substituted with automated software processes that instantly generate articles based on digital input, dramatically improving efficiency and productivity.

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