Problem

Conventional communication routing systems fail to accurately connect users with the right service provider without requiring users to navigate through cumbersome automated menus or provide explicit information, leading to inefficient service interactions.

Innovation Solution

An enhanced routing system that utilizes user characteristics and behavior to automatically select a service provider by analyzing user profiles and activity history, employing a machine learning model to establish communication sessions based on encoded vectors, thereby reducing user burden.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional routing systems use automated menu interfaces to route users, then service providers can be connected, but user burden increases due to cumbersome navigation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser burdenVSAvoidautomated menu interface
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing user profiles, activity history, and encoded vectors to determine the most suitable service provider without requiring user interaction with automated menus. The routing system serves itself by making intelligent decisions based on available data, eliminating the need for users to navigate complex menu structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-analyzing user characteristics, behavior patterns, and activity history before the user even initiates a service request. User profiles are encoded into vectors in advance, and the machine learning model is trained beforehand to make rapid routing decisions, eliminating the need for real-time menu navigation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If conventional systems require explicit user input to determine service provider, then routing decisions can be made, but interaction efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction efficiencyVSAvoiduser information provision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback mechanisms by continuously analyzing user activity history, behavior patterns, and profile data to refine routing decisions. The machine learning model learns from past interactions and feedback, improving its ability to predict user needs and select appropriate service providers without requiring explicit user input for each interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning model acts as an intermediary that translates user characteristics and activity history into routing decisions. Instead of requiring direct user input to service providers, the model mediates the interaction by interpreting encoded user vectors and determining the most suitable service provider based on learned patterns and relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If routing systems use simple connection methods, then user burden is reduced, but service provider matching accuracy decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice provider matching accuracyVSAvoidrouting system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies parameter changes by encoding user characteristics, behavior patterns, and activity history into numerical vectors with specific dimensions and properties. The machine learning model processes these encoded vectors to make accurate routing decisions, transforming qualitative user information into quantitative parameters that can be precisely analyzed and matched to service providers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The routing system uses composite information structures by combining multiple data sources including user profiles, activity history, behavior patterns, and encoded vectors into a comprehensive routing decision framework. The machine learning model integrates these diverse information types to make accurate service provider matching decisions, creating a composite analytical approach that leverages the strengths of each data source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

An enhanced routing system determines a service provider best suited to fulfill a user's request to interact and establishes a communication session between the user's client device and a device of the service provider. The enhanced routing system may use user characteristics and behavior to select the service provider. For example, the enhanced routing system receives a request to connect to a customer service system from a user who has recently started a new job and has been accessing a banking application on his mobile phone. The enhanced routing system may determine that a payroll service provider is best suited to fulfill the user's request. For example, the enhanced routing system uses a machine learning model that has been trained on previously fulfilled requests. In this way, the enhanced routing system improves upon systems that continuously prompt the user for information by selecting a service provider without overburdening the user.
