Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for customer interactions requiring complex decision-making, such as those involving customer service representatives or mobile applications, face challenges like long wait times, poor service quality, and user confusion, leading to inaccurate data entry and economic errors.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of multivariate Artificial Intelligence (AI) smart cards that enhance the speed and accuracy of initial inputs and leverage multi-tiered AI analysis to automatically process inputs, generate accurate and timely results, and reduce human intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If human Customer Service Representatives are used for complex decision-making, then service quality is improved, but wait times increase and costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice qualityVSAvoidwait time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the customer service system into multiple intelligent agents, each specialized in handling specific types of decisions or queries. This segmentation allows parallel processing of multiple customer interactions simultaneously, reducing wait times while maintaining service quality through specialized expertise in each agent.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary intelligent agent system that mediates between customers and human representatives. This intermediary layer handles routine and complex decisions autonomously using AI algorithms, filtering and preprocessing customer queries before escalating to human agents only when necessary, thereby reducing overall wait times and operational costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of time

If mobile applications are used to reduce wait times, then wait times decrease, but user confusion increases leading to inaccurate data entry

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewait timeVSAvoiddata entry accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service functionality where the intelligent agent system automatically guides customers through the decision-making process without requiring them to navigate complex menus or answer numerous questions. The system autonomously collects necessary information, processes it, and generates decisions, eliminating user confusion and data entry errors while maintaining reduced wait times.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical interaction model of mobile applications (where users manually navigate menus and input data) with an automated information exchange system. The intelligent agents directly communicate with customer devices, automatically gathering required data through structured protocols rather than requiring manual user input, thereby eliminating data entry inaccuracies.

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

3Measurement precision

If more data is collected for complex decision-making, then decision accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecision accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-processing and organizing customer data before the actual decision-making process. Intelligent agents perform initial data validation, categorization, and filtering in advance, structuring information in ways that facilitate rapid analysis. This preliminary preparation enables comprehensive data utilization without proportionally increasing processing time during the critical decision phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamics by implementing adaptive data collection and processing strategies. The intelligent agent system dynamically adjusts the amount and type of data collected based on the specific query, customer history, and decision complexity. For routine decisions, minimal data is processed quickly; for complex decisions, additional data is gathered with appropriate computational resources allocated, optimizing the balance between accuracy and processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
