Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a presentation evaluation system is used to evaluate conversations, then evaluation functionality is provided, but real-time evaluation capability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoidreal-time evaluation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the conversation evaluation process into distinct modules: voice analysis for extracting speech content, word group analysis for categorizing terms into semantic groups (greetings, counterarguments, descriptions, suspicions, excuses, agreements, promises, affirmations), and remark evaluation for assessing conversation quality. This segmentation enables real-time processing by analyzing smaller units sequentially rather than evaluating entire conversations at once, thus resolving the contradiction between evaluation accuracy and real-time speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining term groups and their categories before conversation evaluation begins. The voice analysis and word group analysis components are prepared in advance with predefined criteria, allowing the remark evaluation to proceed rapidly during actual conversation without delayed processing, thereby achieving real-time evaluation while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If comprehensive term group analysis is performed, then conversational effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconversational effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal term group analysis framework that handles multiple conversation aspects (greetings, counterarguments, descriptions, suspicions, excuses, agreements, promises, affirmations) through a single integrated system. The same analytical infrastructure processes all term groups uniformly, providing comprehensive conversational effectiveness evaluation without proportionally increasing system complexity. This multi-functional approach allows the system to evaluate various conversational dimensions using consistent methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses predefined term group templates that can be copied and applied repeatedly during conversation analysis. Instead of creating complex analysis logic for each conversation type, the system copies and adapts established term group categories and evaluation criteria, simplifying the system architecture while maintaining comprehensive evaluation capabilities across different conversational contexts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

[Problem] Provided is a conversation assistance method using a computer that ensures evaluating a conversation in real time. [Solution] A conversation assistance method using a computer includes a voice analysis step, a word group analysis step, and a remark evaluation step executed by the computer. The voice analysis step is for analyzing a voice related to a conversation and obtaining a voice word that is a word included in the conversation. The word group analysis step is for analyzing which among a plurality of term groups including either one of or both of a word and a phrase the voice word corresponds to. The remark evaluation step evaluates a remark every time a remark related to the conversation is input, based on the term group analyzed in the word group analysis step.
