Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional user registration systems require users to re-enter data if registration is rejected, leading to frustration due to unsuccessful attempts.

Innovation Solution

A communication system that displays an input screen with an indicator showing the likelihood of successful registration based on data proximity to registered user information, allowing users to anticipate registration outcomes and reduce frustration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides multiple input elements for user registration, then the registration functionality is complete and comprehensive, but the user frustration increases when registration is rejected requiring re-entry of all data

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveregistration functionalityVSAvoiduser frustration

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary validation and calculates an index value during the data input phase, before the user submits the registration form. This preliminary action provides early feedback on registration likelihood, allowing users to avoid completing the entire form if registration is unlikely to succeed, thus preventing the frustration of re-entering all data after rejection

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback by displaying an index value that indicates the likelihood of successful registration based on the data already entered. This feedback mechanism allows users to assess their registration prospects in real-time and make informed decisions about whether to continue or abandon the registration process, reducing unnecessary user effort and frustration

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the system requires complete data entry before validation, then the data integrity is ensured, but the user time and effort are wasted on unsuccessful registration attempts

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata integrityVSAvoiduser time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary validation checks and index calculation during data input, before final submission. This allows the system to maintain data integrity requirements while providing early warning to users about potential registration failure, enabling them to abandon unsuccessful attempts before investing complete time and effort

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system allows users to perform partial data entry and receive feedback on registration likelihood without requiring complete data entry. Users can stop the process at any point based on the index value feedback, avoiding the waste of time and effort on registration attempts that are unlikely to succeed while still maintaining data integrity for successful registrations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If the system performs validation only after complete input, then the validation accuracy is maximized, but the user cannot anticipate registration outcomes during input

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevalidation accuracyVSAvoidregistration outcome information

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary validation and index calculation during the input phase, maintaining accurate validation by comparing entered data against registered user information in real-time. This preliminary action provides users with outcome information (index value) during input without compromising the accuracy of the final validation process

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by displaying the index value that reflects the likelihood of successful registration based on data already entered. This feedback provides users with outcome information during the input process, allowing them to anticipate registration outcomes while the system maintains validation accuracy through continuous comparison with registered user information

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A communication system includes a terminal device and a server. The terminal device has a display unit to present an input screen with multiple input elements and an operation unit to receive user inputs. The server includes a storage device storing user information, including data corresponding to multiple input items. When the input screen is displayed, the system obtains input data and determines an index value based on proximity between the input data and stored user information. The system displays an indicator reflecting the index value on the input screen. Upon receiving a registration instruction, the system determines whether a registration condition is met by comparing the input data with stored user information. If the condition is satisfied, the system completes user registration by storing the input data as new user information. If not, registration is not completed. This configuration enables dynamic feedback and validation during user registration.
