Solution Overview

Problem

Online dating services lack effective mechanisms to guide users in optimizing their profiles and activities to enhance their chances of success, as existing platforms do not provide personalized and data-driven coaching based on successful user metrics.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that collects user profile and activity data, analyzes it against metrics statistically determined from successful users, and generates coaching messages to prompt users to adjust their profiles and behaviors to meet these metrics, using an analysis engine and rules engine to provide tailored feedback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the online dating service collects and analyzes user profile and activity data against successful user metrics, then the coaching effectiveness and user success rate improve, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoaching effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the coaching function into distinct modules: data collection module, analysis engine, rules engine, and message generation module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, making the complex system manageable and maintainable while achieving reliable coaching effectiveness through coordinated operation of these segmented components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The analysis engine and rules engine act as intermediaries between the raw user data and the coaching messages. These intermediary components process and transform data according to predefined metrics and rules, bridging the gap between complex data analysis and simple actionable coaching advice, thereby managing system complexity while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the system provides personalized coaching messages to guide users, then user engagement and service utilization improve, but the computational resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice utilizationVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining success metrics, coaching rules, and message templates before users need coaching. The analysis engine and rules engine are pre-configured with criteria for evaluating user profiles and activities. When coaching is needed, the system simply matches user data against these pre-established parameters, significantly reducing computational resources and processing time while maintaining high service utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If the system analyzes user data against statistically determined metrics from successful users, then the coaching precision and personalization improve, but the data processing complexity and analysis time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoaching precisionVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes parameters by transforming complex user data into standardized metrics that can be efficiently evaluated. The analysis engine converts diverse user profile and activity data into comparable parameters against success metrics. The rules engine further simplifies these parameters into discrete evaluation criteria, enabling precise coaching recommendations without requiring extensive analysis time for each user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Methods and systems for coaching an end user are disclosed. Information related to a user profile and/or user activity of an end user is collected in a memory. An analysis engine analyzes information against a metric. A metric may represent or include one or more characteristics of a (typical) successful end user. Said metric may be statistically determined in various ways. A rules engine generates a coaching message for output to the end user if the information does not meet the metric, wherein the one or more coaching messages provokes (or suggests) the end user to change the user profile and/or the user activity of the end user to meet the metric.
