Solution Overview

Problem

Existing language barrier training games for children with autism lack intelligence in providing adaptive training tasks and questions, failing to meet the requirements of adaptive intervention and personalized training, and often result in negative effects due to mismatched learning abilities.

Innovation Solution

A training method and system based on adaptive learning scaffold that analyzes user state before training, generates an initialized training path, predicts question-answering correct rates, constructs a proximal development zone, and provides adaptive prompt information to ensure personalized and adaptive training.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing language barrier training games are used for children with autism, then training can be provided, but the training lacks intelligence and adaptability to individual learning abilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to individual learning abilitiesVSAvoidcomplexity of adaptive intervention system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts training parameters including question difficulty, prompt information level, and task complexity based on real-time assessment of the child's learning ability. The adaptive learning scaffold modifies these parameters automatically to match the child's proximal development zone, transforming a static training game into an adaptive intervention system without requiring complex hardware changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The training system transitions from a fixed, static structure to a dynamic one that continuously adapts to the child's performance. The system monitors learning ability in real-time and adjusts the training path, question selection, and prompt provision dynamically, allowing the training to evolve with the child's developing capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If training tasks are provided without adaptive intervention, then training can be conducted, but negative effects occur due to mismatched learning abilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of training interventionVSAvoidcomplexity of adaptive learning scaffold
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where the child's responses to training questions are immediately assessed, and the results feed back into adjusting the next set of training parameters. This feedback mechanism ensures that training remains appropriately challenging and avoids both frustration from overly difficult tasks and boredom from overly easy ones, thereby improving reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary assessment of the child's learning ability before beginning formal training. This preliminary action includes evaluating the child's current language skills and cognitive level to establish an initial training path that is appropriately matched to their abilities, preventing negative effects from mismatched difficulty levels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If personalized training is implemented for each child with autism, then training effectiveness improves, but the system requires high intelligence and complex adaptation mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining effectivenessVSAvoidlevel of automated adaptive intervention
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables the training program to self-adjust and self-optimize based on automated assessment of child performance. The adaptive learning scaffold automatically modifies training parameters without requiring manual intervention from therapists, allowing the system to serve itself in adapting to each child's unique learning curve while maintaining high productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
