Solution Overview

Problem

Small and medium-sized companies face challenges in automating the process of formatting job listings to comply with various job board schemas, leading to increased costs and dependency on agencies to ensure their listings appear on platforms like Google Jobs, as they lack the technical resources to add structured data efficiently.

Innovation Solution

An AI-based tagging platform that uses machine learning to recognize, extract, and re-tag job listing data, allowing employers to validate and correct predictions, ensuring data compliance with specific schemas, thereby enabling automated importation of job listings onto selected websites without requiring extensive technical expertise.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If employers manually format job listings to comply with various job board schemas, then data compliance and visibility are improved, but time consumption and operational complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata complianceVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables employers to publish job listings on multiple platforms automatically by generating structured data through AI tagging. The platform self-services the data formatting process, transforming unstructured job descriptions into schema-compliant structured data without requiring manual intervention or technical expertise from employers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical data formatting processes with AI-based automated tagging systems. Instead of manually parsing and formatting job listings to comply with different schemas, the system uses machine learning models to automatically extract and tag relevant information, substituting human labor with intelligent automation.

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

2Reliability

If employers use agencies to format job listings, then data compliance and platform visibility are improved, but costs and dependency on external services increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata complianceVSAvoidcost efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system eliminates dependency on external agencies by providing employers with self-service capabilities. The AI tagging platform enables employers to independently generate compliant structured data for multiple job boards without needing to outsource the technical formatting process to specialized agencies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an AI-based intermediary system that mediates between employers and job boards. Instead of employers directly manually formatting data or relying on agency intermediaries, the AI tagging platform serves as an automated intermediary that transforms job descriptions into schema-compliant formats for various platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If employers manually extract and re-tag job data for different schemas, then adaptability to various platforms is improved, but operational complexity and technical resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform adaptabilityVSAvoidtechnical complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides universal functionality by enabling a single AI tagging platform to generate structured data compliant with multiple different job board schemas simultaneously. The platform adapts to various platform requirements through its machine learning models, allowing employers to publish on diverse platforms without needing separate technical solutions for each.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces complex manual technical processes with AI-based automation. Instead of requiring employers to manually understand and implement different schema requirements for various platforms, the system uses machine learning models to automatically extract and re-tag job data according to the specific schema requirements of each target platform.

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

4Reliability

If employers add structured data to job listings, then online visibility and platform compatibility are improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring compliance increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform compatibilityVSAvoidcompliance measurement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the AI tagging platform generates structured data and employers can review and validate the output. The platform provides predictions and confidence scores that help employers understand what data has been extracted and how it complies with target schemas, making the compliance measurement process more transparent and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Methods and systems receive machine-readable input data describing a job listing or employment opportunity. The system scans the input data and software algorithms process it to predict specific information required by a particular html schema. To predict the information required by the schema, in one aspect, the system applies machine learning tools, for example, prediction models, which may be generated from training data selected from large job listing data collections, and specifically adapted and tuned for each field of interest, for example, job description, job location, and salary. This information is used to generate structured data, for example, html code, consistent with the schema for automatic insertion into a web page to comply with the schema and make the listing widely available to automated search processes.
