Solution Overview

Problem

Users of knowledge-based applications face difficulties in diagnosing new or infrequently encountered problems due to the vast amount of knowledge required to navigate and find relevant information in time-of-error data dumps, especially when they are not experts in the field.

Innovation Solution

A method that differentiates between average and expert users by generating baseline command sequence models based on entered commands and frequencies, allowing expert users to input confidence levels and supporting evidence for divergent commands, which are then used to recalibrate and update the models, incorporating expertise levels and command sequence frequencies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If baseline command sequence models are generated based on command frequencies for given tasks, then average users can follow standardized procedures, but expert users cannot efficiently apply their specialized knowledge to diagnose new or infrequently encountered problems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of problem diagnosisVSAvoidadaptability to new problems
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adapts command sequence models by incorporating expert user feedback and divergent commands. When expert users deviate from baseline sequences, the system learns from these deviations and updates the models accordingly, making the system flexible and adaptable to new problem types while maintaining ease of operation for common tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where expert user actions and divergent commands are captured and used to recalibrate baseline command sequence models. This feedback loop enables the system to continuously improve by learning from expert expertise, resolving the contradiction between standardized ease of use and adaptability to new situations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If extensive time of error data is provided for comprehensive problem analysis, then diagnostic accuracy is improved, but processing time and resource requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and utilizes expert user knowledge and divergent commands from the data stream to recalibrate command sequence models. By focusing on the most valuable insights from expert interactions rather than processing all available data uniformly, the system achieves high diagnostic accuracy while minimizing processing time and resource requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If baseline command sequence models are frequently updated to incorporate new expertise, then system adaptability improves, but system complexity and recalibration requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem adaptabilityVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-calibration by automatically incorporating expert user feedback and divergent commands into updated command sequence models. This self-service capability enables the system to adapt to new situations without requiring manual recalibration or increasing operational complexity, as the update process is automated and integrated into normal system operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
