Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traders access multiple internal and external systems separately, then they can perform various trading tasks, but the time and inconvenience required to repeatedly log in and out of different systems increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to multiple systemsVSAvoidtime spent logging in and out
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple separate trading systems (risk management, client value, funding, etc.) into a single unified trader portal interface. This allows traders to access all necessary systems through one login and one interface, eliminating the need to repeatedly log in and out of different systems while maintaining full functionality across all trading tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If traders access multiple internal and external systems separately, then they can perform various trading tasks, but the workflow complexity and inconvenience increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to multiple systemsVSAvoidworkflow convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The trader portal is designed as a universal interface that provides access to multiple different trading systems and functions through a single platform. The portal aggregates risk management, client value, funding, and other trading functionalities into one system, allowing traders to perform diverse tasks without switching between separate applications or interfaces.

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

3Ease of operation

If a single integrated system is created to combine all functionality, then access to multiple resources is simplified, but the system becomes costly to create and maintain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to resourcesVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The trader portal acts as an intermediary layer between traders and the underlying multiple trading systems. Rather than fully integrating all systems into one monolithic platform, the portal provides a unified access point that connects to existing separate systems, simplifying user access while avoiding the high costs and complexities of complete system integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented trader portal system and method for use within a trading organization supporting multiple traders. The trader portal system integrates available trader related resources from multiple sources for trader viewing and utilization. The trader portal system may include administrative controls for allowing administrative configuration of the trader related resources visible to the multiple traders within the trading organization. The trader portal system may further include a source collection engine for collecting the trader-related resources from the multiple sources and a source integration engine for integrating the collected trader related resources with the trader portal system in accordance with the administrative configuration. The trader portal system may further include multiple modules accessible to the traders through a user interface, each of the multiple modules displaying at least one of the collected trader related resources as determined by the source integration engine.
