Solution Overview

Problem

Modern apparatuses and methods for attribute data table matching to opportunity postings are limited in effectiveness.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that includes a processor and memory configured to receive an attribute data table from a user, query an opportunity posting database, select relevant opportunity postings based on criteria from the attribute data table, and match the data table to suitable postings, providing the matches to the user.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If modern apparatuses and methods are used for attribute data table matching, then the matching process can be automated, but the effectiveness and accuracy of the matching results are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation of matching processVSAvoideffectiveness of matching
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms unstructured user profiles into structured attribute data tables with standardized parameters and data types. This parameterization enables precise querying and filtering of opportunity postings by transforming qualitative user preferences into quantifiable matching criteria, thereby improving matching effectiveness while maintaining automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The attribute data table serves as an intermediary structure between user profiles and opportunity postings. It standardizes user attributes into a unified format that can be systematically compared against posting requirements, acting as a mediator that enhances matching precision without requiring complex direct comparison algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive attribute data tables are created to improve matching accuracy, then more criteria can be considered, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematching accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The matching system is segmented into distinct functional modules: user profile processing, attribute data table generation, opportunity posting database querying, and result presentation. Each module handles specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while enabling comprehensive matching criteria through the coordinated operation of these modular components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The attribute data table structure is designed as a universal framework that can accommodate multiple types of user attributes (skills, experience, education, preferences) and opportunity posting criteria through a standardized schema. This multi-functional design allows the system to handle diverse matching requirements without requiring separate complex structures for each attribute type.

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