Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional workflow management solutions focus on job-skill-matching, then hiring efficiency is improved, but holistic business perspective and adaptability to strategic changes deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehiring efficiencyVSAvoidadaptability to strategic changes
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the workflow analysis into distinct steps or tasks, allowing the system to evaluate and optimize specific portions of the workflow independently. This segmentation enables the system to maintain focus on job-skill-matching efficiency while simultaneously incorporating broader business perspective elements into different segments of the workflow analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a multi-functional system that performs both traditional job-skill-matching analysis and broader business perspective evaluation within a single workflow management platform. The system is designed to handle multiple objectives simultaneously, including hiring efficiency, resource allocation, and adaptability to strategic changes, making it universally applicable to various workflow optimization needs.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If workflow analysis is comprehensive and holistic, then business perspective is improved, but system complexity and data processing requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveholistic business perspectiveVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the comprehensive workflow analysis into discrete steps or tasks, where each step can be analyzed independently. This segmentation reduces the immediate complexity of processing the entire workflow at once while still achieving holistic business perspective through the aggregation of individual step analyses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary analysis of workflow steps before conducting the full holistic evaluation. By pre-processing and organizing data at the step level first, the system reduces the complexity burden during the comprehensive analysis phase, making the overall process more manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If AI assessment is applied to all workflow steps, then optimization accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational resources worsen

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies AI assessment selectively to specific workflow steps rather than uniformly to all steps. By identifying and prioritizing critical steps that have the greatest impact on workflow optimization, the system achieves high optimization accuracy in key areas while reducing overall processing time and computational resource requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial AI assessment, focusing computational resources on the most impactful workflow steps rather than applying AI uniformly across all steps. This partial action approach maintains optimization accuracy for critical functions while significantly reducing processing time and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Artificial intelligence is employed to assess a user's workflow on a task by receiving data regarding a workflow of a user completing a task, and assessing the data to identify attributes of the workflow that is expressed in a series of elements. The elements of the workflow are analyzed to identify areas of improvement. Augmentations may be generated from a plurality of technology fitments matched to the areas for improvement in the elements of the workflow. The augmentations are sent to a user device for communicating to the user. The method may further include receiving confirmation of fitment to business practices of persona; and adjusting augmentation responsive to confirmation of fitment.
