Chat Bot Resource Allocation for Unrelated Conversations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing chat bot systems face inefficiencies in resource allocation as they increase back-end resources even for conversations unrelated to service menus, leading to unnecessary resource utilization.
Innovation Solution
A resource allocation method that classifies conversations related to service menus versus unrelated ones, predicting future conversation volumes, and dynamically adjusts resource allocation for chat bots and back-end systems based on these classifications to optimize resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If resource allocation is increased based on total conversation load, then chat bot responsiveness is improved, but back-end system resource waste occurs due to unrelated conversations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments conversations into two distinct categories: service-related conversations and non-service conversations. This segmentation is achieved through classification units that analyze conversation content and determine whether each conversation relates to the service menu. By dividing the conversation stream into separate categories, the system can allocate resources differently for each type, ensuring that back-end system resources are only increased in response to service-related conversations while still maintaining chat bot responsiveness for all conversations.
2Reliability
If all conversations are treated equally in resource allocation, then service quality is maintained, but resource efficiency decreases due to unrelated conversations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by implementing different resource allocation strategies for different types of conversations. Service-related conversations receive full resource allocation to maintain high service quality, while non-service conversations receive minimal or no back-end system resource allocation. This is achieved through separate resource allocation paths: one for service-related conversations that triggers back-end system resource increases, and another for non-service conversations that does not trigger resource increases, thereby maintaining service quality where needed while improving overall resource efficiency.
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques are provided that can perform appropriate resource allocation to systems such as chat bots and back-end-systems even when a user is engaged in conversations (such as text messages and speech messages) unrelated to service menus, without increasing the resources of the chat bots and back-end-systems. Means are provided for determining the allocation of chat bot and back-end-system resources based on the number of conversations associated with the service menu and the number of conversations unrelated to the service menu.
