Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in managing and updating their personal electronic events, such as recurring backups, antivirus scans, and subscription renewals, as these events often continue automatically even if they are no longer desired or using an optimal service provider, leading to inefficiencies and lack of control.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for event migration, where a trusted hardware device aggregates events from multiple servers, identifies repeating events, and prompts users to migrate these events to different service providers, allowing users to switch with minimal interaction using their electronic credentials.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually manage and update their personal electronic events, then they maintain control over recurring events, but the complexity and time required for management increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of event managementVSAvoidtime for managing events
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically monitoring, identifying, and managing recurring events without requiring user intervention. The event migration module autonomously tracks event patterns, detects optimization opportunities, and executes migrations based on predefined criteria, freeing users from manual event management tasks while maintaining control through configurable parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an event migration module as an intermediary between users and service providers. This module aggregates events from multiple sources, analyzes them centrally, and coordinates migrations across different service providers, simplifying the complex task of managing distributed recurring events through a single point of control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If users allow recurring events to continue automatically, then event execution is maintained, but users lose control and may continue using suboptimal service providers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent execution reliabilityVSAvoiduser control over events
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous feedback by monitoring recurring events across multiple service providers, analyzing execution patterns and performance metrics. This feedback loop enables the event migration module to identify when events are executing suboptimally and automatically initiate migrations to improve performance, maintaining both reliability and user control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The event migration module serves as an intermediary that maintains user control while ensuring reliable event execution. It aggregates events from various providers, monitors their execution, and coordinates migrations to optimize performance, thereby preserving user oversight while preventing automatic events from continuing indefinitely at suboptimal providers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If users migrate recurring events between service providers manually, then they can switch to optimal providers, but the complexity and effort required increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to switch service providersVSAvoidcomplexity of migration process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the complexity of multi-provider event migration into a single unified module. The event migration module consolidates event aggregation, analysis, coordination, and execution across multiple service providers into one centralized component, thereby maintaining high adaptability for switching providers while reducing the perceived complexity for users to a single interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The event migration module is designed as a universal, multi-functional system that can handle events from multiple service providers, analyze diverse event types, and coordinate migrations across different platforms. This universality enables seamless switching between providers without requiring provider-specific migration processes, reducing overall complexity while maintaining versatility.

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

4Ease of operation

If users closely monitor and manage each recurring event, then they maintain optimal control, but the time and effort required for management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol over eventsVSAvoidtime for monitoring events
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service monitoring where the event migration module autonomously tracks recurring events, analyzes execution patterns, and identifies optimization opportunities without requiring user time or effort. Users retain control through configurable parameters and oversight capabilities, while the system handles the time-consuming monitoring tasks automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes continuous automated feedback loops that monitor event execution across service providers and provide insights to users without requiring manual intervention. The event migration module analyzes aggregated event data, detects patterns and optimization opportunities, and presents actionable information to users, maintaining control while eliminating the time investment required for manual monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
