Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Manufacturers face challenges with traditional paper manuals for windows and doors, as they are comprehensive, wasteful, cumbersome, and difficult to update, especially with the rise of electronic devices and user preferences for digital content.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for generating customized guide materials using a computing device that receives user input to select options from various categories, identifying pre-defined guide modules, and generating tailored guide materials including text, image, audio, and video information, which can be transmitted to a user device for display or printing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If comprehensive paper manuals are provided for each window or door product, then all necessary guide information is available to users, but the materials become wasteful and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the comprehensive manual into multiple modular guide materials, each covering specific topics or procedures. Users can select and receive only the modules relevant to their particular window or door product, eliminating the need to distribute complete manuals for every product variant and reducing material waste.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical state of guide materials from traditional paper format to electronic/digital format. This transformation enables dynamic customization, storage efficiency, and on-demand distribution of guide information, eliminating material waste while maintaining information completeness.
2Manufacturing precision
If separate guide materials are created for each window or door variant, then specific instructions are accurate, but the system becomes difficult to update and maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments guide materials into independent, reusable modules that can be individually updated. Each module represents a discrete topic or procedure that can be maintained separately, allowing precise updates to specific instructions without affecting other parts of the guide system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates universal guide modules that can serve multiple window and door product variants. A single module can be applied across different products, reducing the total number of unique guide materials needed and simplifying update and maintenance processes.
3Ease of operation
If traditional paper manuals are used, then guide materials are universally accessible, but they do not align with modern user preferences for digital content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the format parameter of guide materials from paper-based to digital/electronic. This enables delivery through multiple channels (email, web portals, mobile devices) and formats (PDF, interactive HTML, video), aligning with modern user preferences while maintaining universal accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms static paper manuals into dynamic digital guide materials that can be updated in real-time, adapted to different devices, and delivered on-demand. The system can respond to user selections and provide customized content dynamically, enhancing both accessibility and adaptability.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for generating customized guide materials associated with a product include a computing device that receives user input information associated with the product. The user input information includes a plurality of user selected options. A plurality of rules define the relationships between each specific combination of user selectable options a pre-defined set of guide modules from among a plurality of guide modules that are relevant to that specific combination of options selected by the user. The guide modules may include textual information, image information, audio information and/or video information. The customized guide materials are generated based on the pre-defined set of guide modules, and may be output for presentation on a user computing device.
