Solution Overview

Problem

There is a lack of immersive resources that engage interviewees in all aspects of an interview, providing real-time feedback and recommendations to improve interview skills.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that provides an immersive interview system with real-time interactive feedback in an augmented reality environment. The system presents a simulated interview environment, collects data on performance and non-performance related factors, and provides notifications and recommendations to improve interview skills through mirroring and feedback mechanisms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional interview preparation methods are used, then users can review interview questions and answers, but they lack immersive real-time feedback on verbal and non-verbal behavior

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements real-time feedback mechanisms during simulated interviews, capturing verbal and non-verbal behavior through sensors and providing immediate performance evaluations. This includes tracking eye contact, posture, gestures, and speech patterns, then delivering actionable feedback to improve interview skills.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an artificial intelligence intermediary that mediates between the interviewee and the evaluation process. The AI acts as a virtual interviewer and feedback provider, eliminating the need for human interviewers while maintaining comprehensive assessment capabilities through multiple sensors and analysis algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive data collection on performance factors is implemented, then interview skill evaluation improves, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the interview evaluation into distinct performance factors including verbal communication, non-verbal behavior, eye contact, posture, and gesture analysis. Each factor is captured by specialized sensors and processed independently, then integrated to provide comprehensive feedback. This modular approach simplifies data processing while maintaining evaluation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual evaluation processes with automated sensor-based systems and AI algorithms. Instead of human observers manually assessing interview performance, the system uses cameras, microphones, accelerometers, and other sensors to automatically capture and analyze behavioral data, significantly reducing processing complexity.

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

3Measurement precision

If multiple sensors and processing units are added to capture comprehensive interview data, then measurement accuracy improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebehavior detection accuracyVSAvoidhardware complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs multi-functional sensors that serve multiple purposes. For example, the camera captures both facial expressions for eye contact analysis and overall body posture, while the microphone handles both speech content analysis and tone detection. This universal approach allows comprehensive behavioral tracking without proportionally increasing hardware complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple sensing capabilities into integrated units. The system merges camera, microphone, accelerometer, and other sensor functions into a unified interview analysis platform that processes multiple data streams simultaneously. This consolidation reduces the number of separate components needed while maintaining comprehensive measurement capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

In an approach for providing an immersive interview system with real-time interactive feedback, a processor presents a simulated environment of an interview based on an interview type and an interview format selected by a user. A processor collects a set of data regarding at least one performance related factor and nonperformance related factor for a length of the interview. A processor evaluates the set of data collected to detect a deficiency associated with the at least one performance related factor of the user. A processor detects the deficiency associated with the at least one performance related factor of the user. A processor outputs a notification to the user, wherein the notification is a recommendation explaining to the user a suggested change to improve the interview skill during the interview.
