Solution Overview

Problem

Current digital personal assistants and employee experience platforms are limited in their ability to enhance personal effectiveness for remote workers, failing to adequately monitor, analyze, and improve employee interactions and productivity in virtual work environments, particularly in terms of sentiment analysis, task tracking, and feedback integration.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that analyzes raw data records from various interactions, including textual, audio, and video inputs, to segment, classify, and summarize user interactions, providing recommended actions and control signals to enhance personal effectiveness, using techniques such as text sentiment analysis, natural language processing, and facial recognition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If digital personal assistants are used in the business environment, then user interaction automation is improved, but personal effectiveness and productivity monitoring capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction automationVSAvoidpersonal effectiveness monitoring capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system consisting of multiple monitoring components (meeting monitor, communication monitor, task tracker, feedback analyzer) that act as mediators between employees and their work activities. These intermediaries collect data from various work channels and feed it to the AI effectiveness engine, enabling automated monitoring of personal effectiveness without requiring employees to manually report their activities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual self-reporting mechanisms with an automated AI-based monitoring system. Instead of employees manually tracking and reporting their activities, the system uses AI algorithms to automatically analyze meetings, communications, tasks, and feedback data, substituting the mechanical process of manual tracking with automated digital analysis.

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

2Productivity

If comprehensive monitoring of employee interactions is implemented, then productivity improvement is enhanced, but data privacy and security concerns worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproductivity improvementVSAvoiddata privacy and security concerns
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and analyzes only the specific information needed for productivity improvement from the vast amount of employee data. Rather than monitoring everything, the system selectively extracts relevant patterns from meetings, communications, tasks, and feedback to identify productivity drivers, separating useful insights from unnecessary data collection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where the AI effectiveness engine continuously monitors employee activities, identifies productivity patterns, and provides recommendations for improvement. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adapt its monitoring focus based on actual productivity needs, reducing unnecessary data collection while maintaining effective monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of information

If AI-powered analysis of user interactions is performed, then actionable insights are improved, but system complexity and computational requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveactionable insights qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity and computational requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex AI analysis process into distinct functional modules: meeting monitor, communication monitor, task tracker, feedback analyzer, and AI effectiveness engine. Each module handles specific types of data and analysis tasks, dividing the overall system complexity into manageable, independent components that can be developed and maintained separately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary data collection and organization of employee interaction data in structured formats before the AI analysis is performed. By pre-organizing data from meetings, communications, tasks, and feedback into a standardized structure, the system reduces the computational complexity of subsequent AI analysis while maintaining high-quality actionable insights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A computer-implemented method is provided. Raw data records associated with one or more user interactions of a user with one or more entities, each respective raw data record comprising one or more of a textual interaction, an audio interaction, and a video interaction, are received. A first analysis is performed on the set of raw data records to analyze them for at least one of sentiments, emotions, and intent. A second analysis is performed on the set of raw data records to segment the set of raw user data. A third analysis of the raw set of data records performs at least one of interpreting, summarizing and classifying, of the information associated with the first and second analyses to determine, at least one recommended action to assist the user. An output signal, comprising the at least one recommended action is generated to the user based on the third analysis.
