Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems fail to support user registration for new applications, leading to increased steps and abandonment during the registration process.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that displays a list of user-registered applications, allowing users to select cooperation applications for seamless registration, reducing the number of steps and supporting user registration of new applications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the system only supports login using existing application accounts, then login functionality is achieved, but user registration for new applications is not supported

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice coverageVSAvoidregistration process

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by obtaining and storing registration information of user-registered applications before the user needs to register for a new application. This allows the system to present relevant registered applications as support information during the registration process, reducing the number of steps required.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary mechanism that presents registration information of user-registered applications as support information during the user registration process. This intermediary presentation helps users make informed decisions and complete registration more efficiently.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the number of steps in user registration increases, then comprehensive service coverage is achieved, but user completion rate decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice coverageVSAvoidregistration completion rate

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and utilizes registration information from user-registered applications as support information. By taking out relevant registration data from the user's application history, the system reduces the cognitive load and steps required for new registration while maintaining comprehensive service coverage.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by presenting registration information of previously registered applications to the user during the registration process. This feedback mechanism helps users understand their existing registrations and makes the new registration process more transparent and manageable.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback
