Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional automated teller machines (ATMs) present user interfaces in a static, linear sequence, which can be inefficient and require users to navigate through multiple screens for each banking operation, leading to increased computing resource usage and unnecessary network communication.

Innovation Solution

Implement an artificial intelligence engine trained with machine learning data to predict and dynamically present user interfaces based on real-time and historical data, allowing for non-linear interaction and optimized resource use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional ATMs present user interfaces in a static, linear sequence, then the system structure is simple and reliable, but the productivity is low and computing resources are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction completion speedVSAvoidinterface presentation system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transforming the static, linear user interface sequence into a dynamic, adaptive interface presentation system. The ATM uses machine learning models to predict user intentions and dynamically generates customized interface sequences, allowing the system to adapt its behavior based on real-time analysis rather than following a fixed predetermined path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by using machine learning models to predict user intentions before the user actually performs actions. The system pre-generates customized interface sequences based on predicted user needs, so that when users arrive at the ATM, they are immediately presented with relevant interfaces rather than navigating through unnecessary screens.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of time

If conventional ATMs require navigation through multiple screens for each banking operation, then the device complexity is low, but the loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser navigation timeVSAvoidinterface determination system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary element - the machine learning model - that acts as a mediator between the user and the ATM interface system. This intermediary analyzes user behavior patterns, predicts intentions, and generates optimized interface sequences, thereby reducing the time users spend navigating through multiple screens without requiring complex manual programming of interface logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously analyzing user interactions, transaction data, and behavioral patterns to refine its predictions and interface generation. The machine learning model learns from past user behavior and adjusts its interface recommendations accordingly, creating a feedback loop that improves efficiency over time while maintaining manageable system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional ATMs present all possible user interfaces in sequence, then the adaptability is low, but the ease of operation is maintained through standardization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface customizationVSAvoiduser interface consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by customizing different parts of the user interface experience based on specific user characteristics and predicted intentions. Rather than applying a uniform interface sequence to all users, the system tailors the interface presentation to match individual user needs, behaviors, and preferences while maintaining core functional consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters dynamically by adjusting interface sequences, displayed options, and navigation paths based on analyzed user data. The machine learning model modifies interface parameters such as the order of screens, the prominence of certain options, and the level of detail provided, thereby achieving adaptability while preserving ease of operation through data-driven optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
