Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in efficiently searching and monitoring contextually-relevant data due to overwhelming amounts of information across multiple sources, requiring manual tracking and switching between applications, which degrades the user experience.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that determines subscription configuration settings for users based on interaction with an application interface, groups users by attributes, and recommends configuration settings for contextually-relevant data, allowing for inline or adjacent presentation of information within the user interface, reducing the need to switch applications and providing timely, relevant data through visualizations and alerts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If users manually search for information using search engines, then they can access information, but the process is time-consuming and frustrating due to not knowing optimal search terms

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetime to access informationVSAvoidease of information search

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically monitors data sources and delivers relevant information to users without requiring manual search operations. The system serves itself by autonomously identifying, filtering, and presenting contextually-relevant data based on user profiles and preferences, eliminating the need for users to formulate search queries.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring data sources in advance and pre-processing information before users need it. User profiles and preferences are established beforehand, allowing the system to automatically retrieve and present relevant information without waiting for user search requests.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Quantity of substance

If users manually track and monitor data across multiple sources, then they can access comprehensive information, but the process is tedious and degrades user experience

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompleteness of informationVSAvoidease of data monitoring

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple data sources into a unified monitoring framework. Instead of requiring users to manually track data across separate applications and sources, the system consolidates monitoring of multiple sources through a single integrated platform, presenting aggregated contextually-relevant information.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides universal monitoring capabilities that work across multiple data sources and contexts. A single system can monitor diverse data types from various sources simultaneously, adapting to different user needs and contexts through configurable profiles and automated filtering.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If users switch between applications to access different data sources, then they can find needed information, but it increases processing time and reduces efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccess to multiple data sourcesVSAvoidtime to access data

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system acts as an intermediary layer between users and multiple data sources. Instead of users directly switching between applications to access different data sources, the intermediary system provides a unified interface that retrieves information from various sources on demand, eliminating the need for users to navigate between multiple applications.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Reliability

If the system provides comprehensive data monitoring, then users receive complete information, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompleteness of data monitoringVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex data monitoring function into manageable components: user profile management, data source connectivity modules, automated filtering logic, and presentation layers. Each component handles specific aspects of monitoring independently, making the overall complex system more modular and maintainable while achieving comprehensive monitoring coverage.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation
