Solution Overview

Problem

Existing diagnostic systems for complex problems require extensive and predetermined sets of questions, which can lead to user fatigue, duplication of questions, and inadequate coverage of the problem domain.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that uses machine learning models for automated diagnostics, processing input data from users to generate dynamic dialogue system outputs, and iteratively refining diagnoses based on user responses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If extensive predetermined sets of questions are used to ensure comprehensive problem coverage, then diagnostic accuracy is improved, but user fatigue increases and the number of questions needed increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic accuracyVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The diagnostic system dynamically generates and adapts question sets based on user responses and preliminary diagnoses, rather than using fixed predetermined question sequences. The machine learning models adjust which questions are asked next based on the evolving diagnostic state, making the process adaptive to each user's specific situation while maintaining comprehensive coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where user responses to questions are processed by machine learning models that generate preliminary diagnoses, which then inform the selection of subsequent questions. This feedback mechanism ensures that questions are asked strategically to maximize diagnostic accuracy while minimizing the total number of questions needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If predetermined question sets are used to cover all possible problems, then problem domain coverage is improved, but question duplication increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproblem domain coverageVSAvoidnumber of questions
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary questions from the full problem domain based on preliminary analysis of user input. Machine learning models identify which specific questions are relevant to the user's particular symptoms and situation, extracting a minimized subset of questions from the complete question bank that would otherwise contain many redundant or unnecessary items.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of question selection dynamically based on user responses and diagnostic progress. Rather than asking a static set of all possible questions, the system adjusts which questions are asked by changing selection parameters based on real-time diagnostic information, ensuring comprehensive coverage with fewer questions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If machine learning models process user input dynamically, then the number of questions needed is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic efficiencyVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the diagnostic process into distinct functional modules: input processing modules that handle user responses, preliminary diagnosis models that generate initial assessments, and question selection modules that determine subsequent questions. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while working together to achieve efficient dynamic diagnostics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A method for performing automated diagnostics, comprising processing first input data relating to a speech or text input signal to generate a representation of the first input data and generating a first output based at least in part on the representation of the input data; determining a preliminary diagnosis output comprising at least one preliminary diagnosis of the problem by processing, using a preliminary diagnosis machine learning model, the first output; determining, at the one or more processors and based at least in part on the preliminary diagnosis output, at least one dialogue system output; outputting, by way of an output of the diagnostics system, the dialogue system output.
