Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional online learning systems fail to adapt the form of questions based on individual learners' question solving types, leading to suboptimal learning experiences.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that determine a learner's question solving type by analyzing their interaction with questions, including eye movement tracking and answer evaluation, to dynamically adjust the output form of questions on a learning screen.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If standardized questions are provided to all learners, then the system complexity is low and implementation is easy, but the learning effectiveness and understanding degree are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAdaptability to individual learning stylesVSAvoidSystem complexity for tracking and analyzing learner behavior
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification of learners into different question-solving types (visual, auditory, reading-writing) before delivering questions. This preliminary action enables the system to prepare and deliver appropriately formatted questions in advance, resolving the contradiction by establishing adaptability through pre-defined categories without requiring complex real-time analysis infrastructure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary classification mechanism that mediates between standardized question content and individual learner needs. This intermediary layer translates uniform question material into multiple presentation formats based on learner type, achieving adaptability without requiring fundamental changes to the question bank or complex customization logic

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the same question is presented in a single format, then the implementation is simple, but learners with different solving types cannot concentrate effectively and understanding is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveQuestion format adaptabilityVSAvoidOperational simplicity for question delivery
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments question delivery into distinct format types (visual presentation, auditory presentation, reading-writing presentation) corresponding to different learner types. Each question can be delivered in one of several segmented formats, allowing learners to concentrate effectively on their preferred modality while maintaining operational simplicity through clear format categorization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by tailoring the presentation format of each question to match the specific learner's solving type. Visual learners receive visually-emphasized questions, auditory learners receive audio-based questions, and reading-writing learners receive text-based questions with writing tasks, thereby enhancing concentration and understanding without requiring complete system redesign

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If conventional online learning provides standardized questions without considering solving types, then the system is easy to operate, but learning effectiveness and answer accuracy are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveLearning effectiveness and answer accuracyVSAvoidComplexity of analyzing eye movement and updating question types
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically analyzing learner responses and eye movement data to identify question-solving types, then autonomously updating the question delivery format without requiring manual intervention. This self-service mechanism improves learning effectiveness through personalized delivery while containing complexity through automated decision-making algorithms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback loops where learner performance data and eye movement patterns are continuously analyzed to refine question-type matching. This feedback mechanism progressively improves learning effectiveness and answer accuracy by adjusting question formats based on actual learner responses, while managing complexity through iterative optimization rather than complex upfront design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
