Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in locating relevant information for decision-making or actions within cloud-based content management platforms, as information is often dispersed across different sources, formats, and access permissions, leading to time-consuming searches and inefficient collaboration.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a cloud-based content management platform that utilizes a generative machine learning model (MLM) to process documents for query embeddings, providing personalized prompts, real-time anticipation of user interest, and generating answers with citations to source documents, thereby streamlining information retrieval and collaboration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If users manually search for information across disparate sources and documents, then they can access the information they need, but it takes a significant amount of time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime spent searching for informationVSAvoiddecision-making efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously processing documents, generating embeddings, and anticipating user needs before they explicitly search. The generative MLM proactively creates prompts and retrieves relevant information in advance, so when users need information, it is already prepared and accessible, significantly reducing search time and improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides self-service by automatically understanding user context, predicting information needs, and retrieving relevant documents without requiring manual user input for each search query. The generative MLM autonomously processes user behavior patterns and delivers personalized information streams, freeing users from repetitive manual searching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of information

If information is stored in disparate sources with different formats and access permissions, then comprehensive information is available, but locating relevant information becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of informationVSAvoidinformation retrieval ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges disparate information sources by generating unified embeddings that capture semantic meaning across different document formats and locations. The generative MLM integrates information from various sources into coherent responses, presenting consolidated information to users regardless of its original dispersion across multiple sources with different access permissions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The generative MLM acts as an intermediary between users and the dispersed information sources. It translates user queries into optimized search prompts, processes information across different formats and permission levels, and presents unified results, thereby mediating the complexity of retrieving information from disparate sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If the system processes all documents to provide comprehensive information, then information completeness is improved, but computing resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by processing only the portions of documents and information most relevant to current user needs and context. The generative MLM dynamically determines which documents and text segments require processing based on user behavior patterns and query semantics, rather than uniformly processing all available documents, thereby reducing computing resource consumption while maintaining information completeness for relevant queries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes processing parameters dynamically based on user context and query characteristics. The generative MLM adjusts the scope, depth, and methodology of document processing according to real-time user behavior patterns, selecting appropriate processing intensity levels that balance information completeness with computing resource consumption efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
