Solution Overview

Problem

Existing applications require users to manually interpret messages and perform actions based on them, which is inefficient and time-consuming.

Innovation Solution

A dashboard interface that uses natural language processing and machine learning to analyze messages, determine candidate actions, and initiate those actions automatically, allowing users to select and execute them directly from the messaging interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually interpret messages and perform actions, then they can accurately understand message content and determine appropriate actions, but the process is inefficient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage response efficiencyVSAvoidtime required for manual interpretation and action
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically analyzing incoming messages, extracting actionable information, and generating candidate actions without requiring manual user interpretation. The NLP model processes message content autonomously to identify tasks, entities, and required actions, significantly reducing the time users spend on message processing while maintaining accuracy through automated semantic understanding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing messages through NLP analysis to identify potential actions before user intervention is needed. The system proactively generates candidate actions, retrieves relevant data, and prepares action recommendations in advance, allowing users to simply review and confirm rather than manually interpret and execute each step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If the system automatically analyzes messages and generates actions, then response time is reduced, but the complexity of the system increases due to NLP and machine learning components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser effort in message processingVSAvoidsystem complexity from NLP and ML components
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The NLP model serves as an intermediary layer between message input and action execution. It translates unstructured message text into structured actionable information (tasks, entities, parameters) that the system can process. This intermediary handles the complexity of language understanding internally, presenting simplified action recommendations to users without exposing the underlying computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual mechanical interpretation processes with automated NLP and machine learning models. Instead of users manually reading, understanding, and deciding on actions, the system uses AI models to perform semantic analysis, entity recognition, and action generation automatically, substituting human cognitive effort with computational processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system presents multiple candidate actions, then users have more options to choose from, but the interface becomes more complex requiring additional display space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of action options availableVSAvoiddashboard display space required
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the presentation of multiple candidate actions into organized groups or categories based on their nature or relatedness. Instead of displaying all actions in a single list, the dashboard divides them into sections (e.g., by task type, priority, or functional category), making the interface more manageable and reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining full action options available for selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Techniques for generating and executing candidate actions from a message include detecting a message and determining a particular set of message attributes corresponding to the message.One or more target states are computed based on the particular set of message attributes, and a set of one or more candidate actions are determined for actions that are configured to produce the one or more target states. The candidate actions are concurrently displayed with the message in a messaging interface of a dashboard, where the dashboard is a component of a GUI presented by an application. Responsive to receiving a selection of a first candidate action of the set of candidate actions, the system initiates execution of the first candidate action by the application.
