Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual customer support processes are used, then customers can receive personalized assistance from representatives, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomer support processVSAvoidtime to resolve issues
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically analyzing customer behavior data, predicting issues, and providing solutions without requiring manual customer support representative intervention. The machine learning model processes customer actions and autonomously generates predicted issues and solutions, allowing the system to serve itself in resolving customer problems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by predicting customer issues before they are explicitly stated. The machine learning model analyzes ongoing customer behavior patterns and proactively identifies potential problems, allowing solutions to be prepared in advance before the customer even becomes fully aware of the issue.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If automated systems are implemented to reduce manual intervention, then processing speed increases, but accuracy in understanding customer context may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveissue resolution speedVSAvoidaccuracy of issue prediction
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the machine learning model continuously learns from customer interactions and outcomes. The model receives feedback on predicted issues and solutions, adjusting its parameters to improve accuracy over time while maintaining high processing speeds through automated operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by dynamically adjusting model configuration and data processing parameters based on the specific customer context. The machine learning model adapts its analysis depth, data weighting, and prediction thresholds to optimize both speed and accuracy for different customer scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive customer behavior data is collected to improve prediction accuracy, then the quality of issue prediction improves, but the complexity of data processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoiddata processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the most relevant features and data points from comprehensive customer behavior data. The machine learning model identifies and isolates key predictive indicators from the broader dataset, processing only the essential information needed for accurate issue prediction while filtering out redundant data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the complex data processing task into distinct modular components. The machine learning pipeline divides data collection, feature extraction, pattern recognition, and prediction generation into separate processing stages, each handling specific aspects of the analysis to manage overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A predictive context aware system, method and device tracks customer attributes comprising: an online customer behaviour of a particular customer of an entity when interacting with a computer application including a particular flow of navigational events when browsing the application indicative of the particular customer seeking assistance; provides the tracked customer attributes to a predictive machine learning model to determine a prediction of a primary intent comprising: at least one predicted problem encountered by the customer associated with the tracked customer attributes and a context of actions derived from the customer attributes, the model trained based on prior historical behaviour of other customers in the entity comprising browser navigational flows for others indicative of a known associated problem; dynamically determines a solution to the predicted problem based on accessing a database linking similar problems; and presents the solution and associated context of the solution to the computer device.
