Solution Overview

Problem

Manually updating posts on a website after events have occurred is a burdensome task, especially for organizations with many posts to update, as it requires significant time and effort to ensure posts remain up-to-date with information about past events.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for managing initial posts on a website that automatically updates the initial post with content from related posts after the event has occurred, using an identification engine to find initial posts, a related post identification engine to find relevant posts, and an updating engine to incorporate the content into the initial post, thereby eliminating the need for manual updates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual updating of posts is performed, then posts can be updated with event information, but significant time and effort are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepost update accuracyVSAvoidtime for manual updates
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting when events have occurred through monitoring data sources, identifying relevant posts, and updating them without human intervention. The computer automatically compares event data with post content and executes updates based on predefined criteria, eliminating the need for manual post management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of updating posts is replaced with an automated electronic system. The computer executes algorithms that monitor events, identify affected posts, and perform updates through software automation, substituting human manual labor with computational processes

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

2Productivity

If automated updating is implemented, then time and effort are saved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepost update efficiencyVSAvoidautomation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The computer system performs multiple functions within a single automated process: monitoring events, identifying relevant posts, determining update criteria, and executing updates. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate manual tasks into one integrated automated system

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses an intermediary computer program that acts as a mediator between event data sources and post content. This intermediary automatically processes information flow, matching events with relevant posts and managing the update process, thereby simplifying the overall system architecture despite the automation complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Managing an initial post on a website includes identifying an initial post on website where the initial post is for an event, identifying a related post that describes the event after the event occurs, and updating the initial post to include content of the related post.
