Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional conversational AI systems struggle to adaptively traverse conversation states and effectively extract contextual information due to reliance on predefined scripts, inability to handle unpredictable user responses, and increased conversation duration.

Innovation Solution

A processor-implemented method using a combination of custom ML models and large language models to dynamically generate and update conversation states based on user responses, monitoring content boundaries to redirect or continue conversations, optimizing contextual information retrieval.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If predefined scripts and pathways are used for automated conversations, then the system structure is simple and easy to implement, but the system cannot effectively extract contextually relevant information for a broader range of users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to extract contextual informationVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic conversation state traversal by replacing static predefined scripts with adaptive machine learning models that dynamically generate and modify conversation pathways based on user responses. The system dynamically adjusts conversation states by analyzing user inputs and selecting optimal next steps, enabling effective extraction of contextual information while maintaining manageable complexity through automated decision-making algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If traditional conversational AI systems follow fixed conversation pathways, then the system complexity is low, but the conversation duration increases and repeated interactions are needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconversation efficiencyVSAvoidconversation duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements real-time feedback mechanisms where the system monitors user responses against expected conversation pathways. When deviations are detected (such as ambiguous responses or topic changes), the system provides feedback by generating follow-up questions that redirect the conversation back to relevant states. This feedback loop enables the system to adapt to unpredictable user inputs while maintaining conversation efficiency and reducing the need for repeated interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If the system monitors user responses in real-time using ML models, then contextual information extraction is improved, but the computational complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontextual information extraction accuracyVSAvoidcomputational processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the conversation monitoring process into distinct conversation states, each with specific content boundaries and monitoring requirements. By dividing the overall conversation into manageable state segments, the system can apply targeted ML model monitoring to each segment rather than processing the entire conversation uniformly. This segmentation reduces computational complexity while maintaining high precision in extracting contextual information for each specific conversation state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Embodiments herein provide a method for adaptively traversing conversation states using conversational AI to extract contextual information. The method includes (i) loading states that define a logical flow of the automated conversation and comprises a content boundary, (ii) dynamically generating a first question associated with the first conversation state by obtaining a prompt, (iii) determine whether a first response is inside or outside of the content boundary, (iv) generating in real-time a first follow-up question by (a) determining a missing content, or (b) analyzing the resume of the user, job description, (v) monitoring a second response to extract a skill level of the user, (vi) automatically computing possible paths of the conversation to obtain an updated N subsequent conversation states of the conversation, (vii) generating a second follow-up question; and (viii) repeating generating follow-up questions for adaptively traversing the N updated conversation states.
