A secure mobile communications platform that generates primary communication channels based on user profiles, utilizing automated human interface modules and natural language processing to understand user intent and facilitate secure, efficient communication and transactions through a network of nodes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If email and telephone systems are used for communication, then communication capability is provided, but security and efficiency are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidcommunication efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the communication system into distinct components: primary communication channels for secure direct communication, sub-channels for specific topics, and automated human interface modules for processing. This segmentation allows secure communication pathways to be established while maintaining efficiency through automated handling of routine interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces automated human interface modules as intermediaries between users and enterprise data sources. These modules process natural language input, determine user intent, and navigate communication workflows, thereby maintaining security while improving communication efficiency by automating routine tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional communication systems are used, then basic communication is enabled, but direct and secure bidirectional communication for transactions is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction capabilityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal communication platform that handles multiple functions including secure communication, transactions, and natural language processing through a unified system architecture. The primary communication channels can facilitate various types of interactions (chat, transactions, information exchange) without requiring separate systems, thus improving adaptability while managing complexity through consolidation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If automated modules are introduced to understand user intent, then communication efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The automated human interface modules are designed to autonomously process user input, determine intent, and navigate communication workflows without requiring complex manual configuration or intervention. The modules self-manage the complexity of understanding natural language and routing communications, thereby improving productivity while containing system complexity through automated self-service capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Systems and methods for using agents are provided. A first message is received from a user to engage with a corresponding session of an automated content logic. The automated content logic is configured to facilitate electronic communication between with the user and a plurality of agents associated with the automated content logic. The first message is applied as an input to a first set of agents to receive a corresponding output for each respective agent in the first set of agents. Each corresponding output identifies an action performed by the automated content logic responsive to the first message that best matches with the first message. The corresponding output for each respective agent in the first set of agents is used to identify a first action. A process is performed in accordance with the first action to generate a second message to engage with the corresponding session.
