Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing form filing processes lack customization based on user experience, leading to inefficiencies and user dissatisfaction, as they do not adapt the format and order of data collection to the user's previous completion methods, potentially resulting in errors and increased complexity.

Innovation Solution

A system that selects a current completion option based on a user's previous experience, using a completion process generator to customize the form filing process, including the format of forms, queries, and user interface components, to match the user's selected option, whether paper filing, software filing, or professional filing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed format completion process is used for all users, then the system is simple to implement, but user satisfaction and accuracy decrease due to lack of customization

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecustomization of completion processVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adaptation by detecting user behavior patterns during form completion and automatically adjusting the completion process format in real-time. The system transitions from static fixed formats to dynamic adaptive formats that respond to user actions, thereby improving customization without requiring complex pre-programming of all possible user scenarios.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-adjustment by automatically detecting user completion patterns and modifying the completion process without requiring explicit user instructions or complex configuration. The software autonomously adapts to user preferences and behaviors, reducing the burden on users while achieving high customization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If the completion process is customized based on user experience, then user satisfaction and accuracy improve, but the processing time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccuracy of form completionVSAvoidprocessing time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of user completion patterns during initial form interactions and prepares adaptive completion processes in advance. By pre-analyzing user behavior and pre-configuring customized completion paths, the system avoids time-consuming adjustments during actual form completion, thereby maintaining high accuracy without significant time penalty.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors user completion patterns and uses this feedback to refine and optimize the adaptive completion process. By learning from user interactions and adjusting the completion process based on observed patterns, the system improves accuracy over time while reducing processing time through increasingly efficient adaptive paths.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple completion options are provided, then user flexibility increases, but the interface complexity and difficulty of selection increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompletion option flexibilityVSAvoidease of selection

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and presents only the most relevant completion options based on detected user patterns and context, rather than displaying all possible options simultaneously. By filtering and prioritizing options based on user behavior analysis, the system maintains flexibility while reducing the cognitive load and interface complexity associated with choosing from numerous options.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-analyzes user completion patterns and pre-determines the most appropriate completion options to present to the user. By preparing and presenting only the most relevant options in advance, the system avoids overwhelming users with excessive choices while maintaining flexibility through context-aware option selection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method of populating at least one form involving selecting a current completion option based on a previous completion option, obtaining a first completion process based on the current completion option, and populating the at least one form using the first completion process, wherein a format of the first completion process is determined by the selected current completion option.
