Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional social networking systems fail to tailor information to individual users, often inundating them with irrelevant personal experiences and lacking mechanisms to facilitate memory recall, especially for users with analog memories or declining memory abilities, and do not account for varying relationships between users.

Innovation Solution

A collaborative recollection engine that uses sensory stimuli and psychological techniques to evoke memory recall, allowing users to enrich and share memories with controlled access, using cues and adaptive presentation to tailor experiences based on user attributes and relationships.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional social networking systems publish personal experiences to all friends, then information sharing is simplified, but users receive irrelevant information and experience information overload

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinformation sharingVSAvoidrelevance of information

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements granular permission settings that allow different levels of access (view only, comment, edit, delete) for different user groups (friends, family, colleagues, public). This enables the same memory to have different qualities of access for different audiences, resolving the contradiction by making information sharing easy while maintaining relevance through targeted visibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts memory presentation based on user attributes, relationships, and contextual factors. Memories are not statically published to all or nothing, but dynamically tailored to each viewer's relevance, solving the contradiction between ease of sharing and information relevance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If social networking systems use binary content control (all or nothing), then content management is simplified, but users with declining memory abilities cannot effectively recollect or share memories

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent control mechanismVSAvoidmemory recollection ability

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the binary content control into multiple granular permission levels (view only, comment, edit, delete) and temporal controls (immediate publication, scheduled publication, draft). This segmentation provides intermediate options that reduce complexity while supporting users with memory challenges through structured, step-by-step memory sharing processes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by providing memory cues, suggestions, and structured templates before users create or share memories. This preliminary support helps users with declining memory abilities by preparing them in advance, reducing the complexity of the sharing process while improving reliability of memory recollection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If social networking systems display memories from loose associations (friend of friend), then network connectivity is enhanced, but users receive foreign or unwanted experiences

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork connectivityVSAvoidirrelevant personal experiences

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces relationship-based permission systems and user attribute filtering as intermediaries between memory publishers and viewers. These intermediaries control the flow of information based on verified relationships and contextual relevance, maintaining network connectivity while filtering out harmful or irrelevant experiences from loose associations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Ease of manufacture

If social networking systems provide uniform content to all users, then system implementation is simplified, but users cannot receive personalized and relevant experiences

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem implementationVSAvoidpersonalization capability

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes parameters such as user attributes, relationship types, and contextual factors to dynamically adjust memory presentation. This allows the system to maintain a unified implementation structure while adapting content delivery to individual users, resolving the contradiction between ease of implementation and personalization capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Various embodiments relate generally to data science, data analysis, and computer software and systems to apply psychological science and principles to provide an interface for facilitating memory recall, and, more specifically, to a computing and data storage platform that facilitates recall of one or more memories collaboratively and adapts presentation of the one or more memories. In some examples, a method may include identifying data representing a subset of stimuli, determining a cue as data representing a supplemental stimulus, and adapting a recollection based on the supplemental stimulus.
