Solution Overview

Problem

Network issues in personal and professional environments often lead to connectivity disruptions and slow internet speeds, necessitating time-consuming IT ticket processes for resolution, which can be inefficient and disruptive to system operations.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent digital experience AI assistant with generative User Interfaces (UIs) for AI agents that provide interactive data visualizations and navigation to cybersecurity platforms, allowing users to diagnose and resolve network issues independently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional IT ticket processes are used to resolve network issues, then users can report problems formally, but the resolution process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork operation continuityVSAvoidissue resolution time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables users to independently diagnose and resolve network issues through an AI assistant that provides guided troubleshooting workflows, eliminating the need for traditional IT ticket processes and empowering users to self-resolve problems without external support

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

An AI assistant acts as an intermediary between users and IT support, providing intelligent guidance through interactive conversations that lead users through diagnostic steps and resolution actions, bridging the gap between user needs and technical solutions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If complex troubleshooting procedures are provided to users, then comprehensive problem resolution is achieved, but the ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproblem resolution effectivenessVSAvoiduser interaction simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The troubleshooting process is segmented into discrete, manageable steps presented through interactive workflows, where users are guided through one action at a time rather than overwhelming them with comprehensive procedures, making complex diagnostics accessible to non-technical users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The troubleshooting workflow dynamically adapts to user responses and system conditions, adjusting the sequence of diagnostic steps and resolution actions in real-time based on what the AI assistant determines is needed, providing a customized path rather than a static procedure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
