Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for improved methods to provide frequent and tailored soft skill training, particularly in developing the skill of active listening, which involves self-control and restraint, and to enhance communication through the use of positively connoted words to foster a positive and collaborative environment.

Innovation Solution

A method utilizing an electronic computing device with artificial intelligence to analyze input phrases for negative connotations and replace them with positively connoted phrases, using a large language model to transform negative connotations into positive ones, presented through display or speaker devices, and optionally showing the original negative phrases alongside for comparison.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional soft skill training methods (workshops, seminars, role plays) are used, then participants can practice skills in realistic situations, but training frequency and accessibility are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAccessibility of trainingVSAvoidTraining frequency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces physical training environments (workshops, seminars, role-play sessions) with an automated digital system using AI language models. Users interact with the system through text or speech inputs, receiving immediate feedback and phrase suggestions without needing to physically attend training sessions, thereby increasing both accessibility and frequency of training practice

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables users to independently practice soft skills by inputting their own phrases and receiving automated feedback from the AI language model. The platform allows self-directed learning where users can practice at their own pace and frequency, eliminating the need for trainers or other participants to be present

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If negatively connoted phrases are used in communication, then directness and clarity may be improved, but interpersonal relationships and collaboration are harmed

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveClarity of communicationVSAvoidImpact on interpersonal relationships
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system takes negatively connoted phrases that users input and automatically transforms them into positively connoted alternatives using an AI language model. For example, converting 'You failed' to 'Let's figure out together how we can improve this', thereby maintaining communication clarity while eliminating harmful impact on interpersonal relationships

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides immediate feedback when users input negatively connoted phrases, showing them the negative impact and offering positive alternatives. This real-time feedback loop helps users learn and internalize positive communication patterns while understanding the harmful effects of negative phrasing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The invention relates to a method for providing a training simulation (26) for a person (28) by an electronic computing device (10), comprising the steps of: providing an input platform (32) for capturing at least one input phrase (34) from the person (28) by the electronic computing device (10); analyzing the input phrase (34) depending on a negative connotation by an artificial intelligence (14) of the electronic computing device (10); if a negative connotation of the input phrase (34) is determined, determining the meaning of the input phrase (34) by the artificial intelligence (14); depending on the determined meaning, selecting a positive connoted phrase (36) by the artificial intelligence (14), wherein the positive connoted phrase (36) is inside a meaning range of the input phrase (34); and presenting the positive connoted phrase (36) for the person (28) by the electronic computing device (10). Furthermore, the present invention relates to a computer program product, a computer-readable storage medium, as well as to an electronic computing device (10).
