Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods lack an effective strategy for predicting suitable careers for autistic children, resulting in low employment rates and inadequate vocational training, as existing technologies fail to systematically assess and utilize data for personalized career guidance.

Innovation Solution

A method involving data collection and machine learning to construct an occupational prediction model using assessment data from autistic children, including developmental information, autism diagnosis, consonant articulation, social interaction, and executive function scores, to identify suitable occupations and evaluate rehabilitation program effectiveness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional assessment methods are used for autistic children, then the assessment process is simple, but the prediction accuracy of suitable careers is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidassessment system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the career prediction system into multiple independent modules: data collection module, feature extraction module, model training module, and prediction module. Each module processes specific aspects of assessment data (developmental information, autism diagnosis, consonant articulation, social interaction, executive function) separately, then integrates results to improve prediction accuracy while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms qualitative assessment data into quantitative parameters by standardizing different assessment scales (M-CHAT, CARS, ABC, ADOS-2, BRIEF-2) into unified numerical features. This parameter transformation enables machine learning models to process diverse assessment information systematically, improving prediction precision through quantitative analysis of previously qualitative characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive assessment data is collected from autistic children, then the career prediction accuracy improves, but the data collection time and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecareer prediction accuracyVSAvoiddata collection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by collecting and storing comprehensive assessment data (developmental information, autism diagnosis results, consonant articulation scores, social interaction scores, executive function scores) during early childhood intervention stages. This data is stored in a structured database before career prediction is needed, eliminating the need for repeated data collection and reducing time loss when prediction is required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates standardized data templates and assessment forms that can be reused across different children and assessment sessions. By establishing standardized data collection formats for various assessment scales, the system reduces redundant data collection efforts while maintaining comprehensive data quality for accurate career prediction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Stability of the object's composition

If standardized assessment scales are used for autistic children, then the assessment consistency improves, but the adaptability to individual children's needs decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment consistencyVSAvoidindividualization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by using standardized assessment scales for consistent data collection while allowing customized feature weighting and model parameter adjustment for each individual child. The system adapts to individual needs by selectively emphasizing certain assessment dimensions (e.g., social interaction for some children, executive function for others) based on their specific profiles, while maintaining overall assessment consistency through standardized methodologies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the assessment system adaptable through machine learning models that can adjust to individual children's characteristics. The system dynamically weights different assessment features based on each child's profile and uses iterative model training to improve individualized prediction accuracy while maintaining standardized data collection procedures for consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
