Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods lack an effective way to recommend artworks that accurately match a purchaser's preferences using artificial intelligence, and there is a need for a system that facilitates the sale and purchase of artworks through a reverse auction method involving AI-based selection.

Innovation Solution

An AI-based curating method and device that receives purchaser information, determines recommended painting information using machine learning, and transmits candidate sale painting information to a user device, enabling a reverse auction process between the purchaser and artist.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional art recommendation methods are used, then the system is simple to implement, but the accuracy of matching purchaser preferences with artworks is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepreference matching accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional manual or rule-based art recommendation systems with an AI-based machine learning system. The processor analyzes purchaser information (preferences, history, demographics) and artwork attributes through automated algorithms, substituting human-curated recommendation mechanisms with computational models that achieve higher matching accuracy through pattern recognition and data-driven insights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms the recommendation approach by changing from static, predefined categories to dynamic, multi-dimensional parameter analysis. The AI model processes numerous variables including purchaser demographics, viewing history, preference weights, artwork styles, and market trends simultaneously, adjusting recommendation parameters based on learned patterns rather than fixed rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If AI-based recommendation system is implemented, then the accuracy of artwork recommendation is improved, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The AI-based curating device performs self-learning and self-optimization through machine learning algorithms. The system automatically improves its recommendation reliability by processing feedback from purchaser interactions, analyzing new data patterns, and refining its models without requiring manual reconfiguration or external intervention, thereby managing complexity through autonomous adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where purchaser interactions with recommended artworks (viewing time, purchase decisions, saved items) are fed back into the machine learning model. This continuous feedback mechanism allows the system to refine its understanding of purchaser preferences and improve recommendation reliability over time, transforming the complexity from a static burden into a dynamic advantage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If manual art curation is used, then the process is transparent and easy to understand, but the efficiency of serving multiple purchasers is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The AI-based curating device performs multiple functions simultaneously: it analyzes purchaser preferences, retrieves relevant artworks, generates recommendations, and provides artist information all through a single integrated system. The processor handles multiple purchaser queries in parallel, making the system universally applicable to any purchaser without requiring separate manual curation processes for each user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual curation processes with automated AI-based systems that can serve unlimited purchasers simultaneously. The machine learning model processes multiple purchaser profiles and artwork databases concurrently, achieving high service efficiency by substituting human curators with computational systems that operate without fatigue or time constraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Ease of operation

If reverse auction method is implemented, then the purchasing experience is enhanced, but the complexity of the transaction process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepurchasing easeVSAvoidtransaction process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The AI-based curating device serves as an intelligent intermediary between purchasers and artists in the reverse auction process. It automatically matches purchaser preferences with artist portfolios, pre-screens compatible artworks, and facilitates the auction process by filtering and organizing options, thereby reducing the complexity burden from purchasers while enabling enhanced purchasing experiences through automated mediation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
