Solution Overview

Problem

Current Business Intelligence (BI) systems fail to properly parameterize assets for maximum utility, leading to waste of resources such as time and money, and lack tools to effectively measure the impact of synthesizing various assets.

Innovation Solution

A system that integrates asset synthesis instances into a historical, virtual, or predicted workflow within an organization, improving parameters such as cost or time, and providing tools to measure the effectiveness of asset synthesis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If assets are synthesized without proper parameterization, then resource utilization is poor and waste occurs, but implementing proper parameterization requires complex measurement and tracking systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidmeasurement system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates virtual copies of physical assets and their synthesis instances, allowing measurement and tracking of asset utilization without physically altering or complicating the actual assets. Virtual synthesis instances represent real-world asset combinations, enabling parameterization and measurement through digital representations rather than physical modification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary measurement system that acts as a mediator between physical assets and organizational goals. This intermediary layer tracks and measures the effectiveness of asset synthesis instances, providing the necessary data for parameterization without directly complicating the physical assets themselves.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of energy

If asset synthesis effectiveness is measured in detail, then resource waste is reduced, but the measurement and tracking requirements increase system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource wasteVSAvoidmeasurement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

Virtual synthesis instances serve as digital copies that capture the essence of physical asset combinations. These virtual representations enable detailed measurement of resource utilization and synthesis effectiveness without requiring complex physical measurement infrastructure. The virtual models allow tracking of time, cost, and effectiveness parameters through information processing rather than physical measurement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms that use measurement data from virtual synthesis instances to improve future asset allocation decisions. By measuring the effectiveness of past synthesis instances and feeding this information back into the system, organizations can reduce resource waste through learned optimization without requiring increasingly complex real-time measurement systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If virtual synthesis instances are integrated into workflow systems, then productivity improves, but system integration complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworkflow efficiencyVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the virtual synthesis instance system to serve multiple functions: tracking asset utilization, measuring synthesis effectiveness, enabling predictive analytics, and supporting workflow integration. This multi-functional approach consolidates what could be separate complex systems into a unified platform, reducing overall integration complexity while maintaining productivity benefits.

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

Solution Approach 2:

By using virtual representations of synthesis instances rather than direct integration with physical assets, the system achieves workflow integration through information layering. The virtual instances can be integrated into existing workflow systems as data objects without requiring complex physical or structural modifications to the actual assets or core workflow infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Techniques for generating a proper agenda with a desired outcome in a predicted workflow within an organization. A template is generated and an asset synthesis instance that includes an agenda is designed to advance a task. The template is generated with the asset synthesis instances building upon one another over time by accessing meeting minutes, persona ratings, resource contribution ratings, transcripts, file histories, or the like of a first asset synthesis instance for a task when creating an agenda for a second asset synthesis instance for the task.
