Solution Overview

Problem

Misunderstandings in remote communications, facilitated by various communication platforms, often lead to discord and adverse outcomes, which could be mitigated by providing real-time information on the point of view and facts held by other participants.

Innovation Solution

A communication assistant service (CAS) system that uses pre-trained point of view classifiers to extract relevant data from communication streams, generate point of view records, and store them in a knowledge base for use in real-time communication assistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If conventional telecommunication platforms are used for remote interactions, then communication between users is facilitated, but misunderstandings and discord arise due to lack of information on other participants' points of view

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation on point of view and factsVSAvoidcommunication understanding
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes communication data streams to extract and store point of view records in a knowledge base before actual communication occurs. This preliminary extraction and storage of relevant information eliminates the need for real-time analysis during communication, reducing information loss and improving understanding reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The communication assistant service acts as an intermediary between users, automatically extracting point of view information from communication streams and providing it back to users. This intermediary process reduces information loss by capturing and preserving contextual data that would otherwise be missed in direct communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If real-time point of view information is provided to users, then misunderstandings are minimized and understanding is improved, but system complexity increases due to data processing requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication understandingVSAvoiddata processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs point of view extraction and stores records in a knowledge base in advance, before actual communication needs this information. This preliminary processing reduces the complexity of real-time systems by pre-computing and organizing data for quick retrieval during communication events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The communication assistant service automatically extracts, processes, and provides point of view information without requiring manual intervention. The system self-manages the complex data processing tasks of extracting relevant information from communication streams and making it available to users, reducing the perceived complexity for end users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If communication data streams are continuously monitored and analyzed, then accurate point of view extraction is achieved, but loss of time occurs due to processing delays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepoint of view extraction accuracyVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and stores point of view records from communication data streams in advance, creating a ready-to-use knowledge base. This preliminary extraction ensures high measurement precision is achieved beforehand, eliminating time delays during actual communication when this information is needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors and extracts point of view information from communication streams, maintaining an up-to-date knowledge base without interrupting the communication flow. This continuous extraction process ensures both high accuracy in point of view identification and minimal time loss, as the system operates in parallel with communication activities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
