Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional communication systems burden human agents with tasks they are unauthorized to perform, leading to inefficient task completion and increased network bandwidth usage.

Innovation Solution

A system that allocates tasks between an autonomous processing circuit and a human agent, allowing the processing circuit to autonomously perform authorized tasks and adding a human agent for unauthorized tasks, with the ability to provide assistance and reduce network bandwidth by answering queries from the human agent.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the processing circuit autonomously performs all authorized tasks, then productivity increases and network bandwidth decreases, but the system complexity increases due to the need for task authorization modeling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask completion efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The processing circuit autonomously models inputs to determine task authorization and performs tasks without human intervention when authorized. This self-service mechanism enables the system to automatically route tasks between autonomous processing and human agent involvement, improving productivity while managing complexity through automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments task execution into two paths: autonomous processing for authorized tasks and human agent processing for unauthorized tasks. This segmentation allows the processing circuit to efficiently handle routine tasks while escalating complex tasks to human agents, optimizing overall system productivity without requiring the human agent to handle all tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the processing circuit adds a human agent to handle unauthorized tasks, then task completion accuracy improves, but network bandwidth usage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask completion accuracyVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The processing circuit continuously monitors task authorization status and provides feedback to determine when to escalate to human agents. This feedback mechanism ensures that network bandwidth is only consumed when necessary for tasks requiring human intervention, while maintaining high accuracy for complex tasks that autonomously cannot handle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The processing circuit acts as an intermediary between the user input and the human agent. It models inputs, determines authorization status, and selectively bridges to human agents only when needed. This intermediary role reduces unnecessary network communication while ensuring accurate handling of unauthorized tasks through human agent involvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If the processing circuit models all inputs to determine authorization, then task allocation accuracy improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask allocation accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The processing circuit applies partial modeling - sufficient to determine authorization status but not exhaustive analysis of all input nuances. This partial action approach achieves accurate task allocation for authorization decisions while avoiding excessive processing time that would result from complete input analysis for every task.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
