Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies are insufficient for enhancing a user's dialog ability across various dialog scenes.

Innovation Solution

A dialog ability enhancement assistance device that includes one or more memories storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute these instructions. The device receives information for selecting a scene in which a user and machine learning models have a dialog, constructs an environment for the dialog, acquires dialog content, and evaluates the user's dialog ability based on an evaluation criterion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a system provides health and purchase advice through SNS based on mental state analysis, then user care and engagement are improved, but dialog ability enhancement across various dialog scenes is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedialog ability enhancementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments dialog ability enhancement into multiple independent machine learning models, each specializing in specific dialog scenes (e.g., customer service, casual conversation, professional communication). This allows the system to provide comprehensive dialog training across various scenarios without requiring a single complex monolithic system, thereby improving adaptability while managing complexity through modular architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a multi-functional platform that serves both mental state analysis (from background technology) and dialog ability enhancement (new function). By integrating these functions and using machine learning models that can adapt to multiple dialog scenes, the system achieves versatility in enhancing dialog abilities across different contexts while building upon existing infrastructure

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

2Measurement precision

If machine learning models are used to evaluate dialog ability in specific scenes, then evaluation accuracy is improved, but the system cannot handle various dialog scenes simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedialog ability evaluation accuracyVSAvoiddialog scene coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs dynamic machine learning models that can adapt their evaluation criteria and parameters based on the selected dialog scene. Each model dynamically adjusts its evaluation framework to match the specific requirements of different dialog contexts (e.g., formal vs. informal, professional vs. personal), thereby maintaining high evaluation accuracy across diverse scenes without requiring static rigid evaluation methods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes evaluation parameters according to different dialog scenes. By adjusting evaluation criteria, weightings, and metrics based on the specific scene context, the system achieves precise evaluation for each scene type while covering multiple scenarios. For example, customer service dialog evaluation may prioritize politeness and problem-solving, while casual conversation evaluation may focus on social appropriateness and engagement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
