Transaction Trigger Data Structures for Automated Reporting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The development of drugs requires manual and resource-intensive processes for tracking and submitting reports across multiple jurisdictions, which is costly and inefficient, involving human capital and computing resources.
Innovation Solution
A method for generating transaction trigger data structures that automates the aggregation and reporting process by using a survey-based system, where historical data is used to create surveys, aggregate responses, and generate transaction trigger data structures for calendar applications, enabling automated report generation and distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual processes are used for tracking and submitting reports across multiple jurisdictions, then human capital and computing resources are consumed, but the process becomes expensive and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automated self-service reporting by having the computer automatically generate survey questions based on historical data, distribute surveys to relevant computers, aggregate responses, and generate transaction trigger data structures for report distribution without human intervention in the reporting process
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-generating survey questions from historical data before the actual reporting period, and by pre-establishing the transaction trigger data structures with distribution lists and triggering logic, so that when reports are needed, they can be generated and distributed immediately without manual preparation
2Loss of energy
If automated survey-based systems are implemented, then resource consumption is reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The automated reporting system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a survey generation component that creates questions from historical data, a survey distribution component that sends surveys to relevant computers, an aggregation component that collects and processes responses, and a transaction trigger generation component that creates structured data with distribution lists and triggering logic. This segmentation makes the complex automated system manageable and maintainable

AI summary
Methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs, for generating transaction trigger data structures for aggregated reporting. In one aspect, a method is disclosed that includes administering a survey that is automatically generated based on historical data, generating a transaction trigger data structure in a calendar application based on aggregated survey responses, the transaction trigger data structure including (i) a report identifier, (ii) a distribution list for the report, and (iii) triggering logic, detecting that the transaction trigger data structure is to be triggered, and executing the triggering logic of the at least one transaction trigger data structure, wherein execution of the transaction trigger record causing a computer to (i) generate a particular report type that is identified by the report identifier and (ii) distribute the report data structure to computers each respective recipient of the distribution list that is logically related to the report identifier for which the report was generated.
