Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional cognitive computing models for client interaction are static and require continuous administrator intervention, lacking dynamic configuration and update capabilities to address changing client needs and new information sources.

Innovation Solution

A conversational agent learning model that dynamically constructs and configures itself by retrieving information from multiple repositories and external data sources, including social networks, to adapt to client interactions, new trends, and technological changes, allowing for autonomous updates and refinement without continuous human intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a static knowledge base is used in conventional cognitive computing models, then the model structure is simple and easy to maintain, but the model cannot adapt to changing client needs and requires continuous administrator intervention

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to changing client needsVSAvoidmodel construction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic construction of the cognitive computing model by automatically retrieving information from multiple sources (corpus, knowledge base, external data sources) and updating the knowledge base in real-time based on client interactions and new information, transforming the static model into a dynamic adaptive system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically identifying deficiencies through client interactions, retrieving relevant information from multiple sources, and updating the knowledge base without continuous administrator intervention, enabling autonomous adaptation to changing needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If continuous administrator intervention is implemented to monitor and update the knowledge base, then the model maintains high reliability, but the operational complexity and time consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel performance reliabilityVSAvoidtime for monitoring and intervention
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where client interactions with the conversational agent are continuously monitored, deficiencies are automatically identified, and the knowledge base is updated based on this feedback, creating a closed-loop system that maintains reliability autonomously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables continuous automatic updating of the knowledge base through ongoing client interactions and information retrieval from multiple sources, eliminating gaps in monitoring and ensuring continuous improvement without administrator intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Adaptability or versatility

If a static knowledge base is used, then the system is easier to manage, but it lacks the capability to incorporate new information from social networks and external sources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapability to incorporate new informationVSAvoidsystem management ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling the knowledge base to automatically retrieve and integrate information from multiple diverse sources including corpus, knowledge base, social networks, and external data sources, making the system universally adaptable to various information sources

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by proactively retrieving information from multiple sources and updating the knowledge base before client needs arise, rather than waiting for manual updates, ensuring the model is always prepared with current information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
