Bi-directional Graph for Navigable Personal Accounts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Individuals face challenges in writing personal accounts due to lack of guidance, loss of interest, linear progression tedium, and unclear audience, which hinder the completion and sharing of their subjective experiences.
Innovation Solution
A computer system decouples the decision-making process by creating a bi-directional graph model that allows users to write about subjects without linear progression, prompts for relevant content, and tailors accounts to specific audiences, reducing the burden of decision-making and enhancing engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a linear progression structure is used for personal accounts, then the account is easy to read sequentially, but the writer experiences tedium and loss of interest
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static linear structure into a dynamic non-linear structure where subjects can be arranged in multiple sequences. The system allows writers to jump between subjects freely while maintaining coherent narrative flow through computational arrangement algorithms that adapt the sequence based on contextual relationships between subjects.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimensional organization beyond simple chronological or sequential linear progression. By creating a multi-dimensional subject arrangement system that considers contextual, thematic, and narrative relationships, the system enables writers to navigate and arrange subjects in complex patterns that maintain readability while reducing tedium.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the writer makes all arrangement decisions manually, then the personal account is highly customized, but the task becomes substantially more effort than the person is willing to exert
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a computational intermediary system that acts as a mediator between the writer's raw subject material and the final arranged personal account. This intermediary automatically performs the complex task of analyzing subject relationships, determining optimal sequences, and arranging content while preserving the writer's intended meaning and style, thereby reducing decision complexity without sacrificing customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables the personal account creation process to be self-organizing through computational algorithms that automatically analyze the writer's subjects, identify relationships between them, and arrange them in coherent sequences without requiring manual intervention for each arrangement decision, while still allowing the writer to guide and customize the outcome.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the personal account is written for the general public, then it has broad appeal, but it may not be appropriate for immediate family or close community
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the personal account into multiple version variants tailored to different audiences. The system allows the writer to create distinct arrangements and selections of subjects for different audience groups (e.g., general public, immediate family, close community), with each version optimized for its intended recipients while drawing from the same underlying subject material.

AI summary
A system for using a rules based, dynamic, non-linear computer interview to capture a user's subjective human experience and storing those experiences in a highly structured manner in the form of a computer based bi-directional graph and using that graph and a computer system to generate navigable readable personal accounts tailored to an intended audience is presented.
